heya i want to run php groupware over a lan there are 6 computers and none are servers i have a spare comp 2 use as a php groupware server. what i would like 2 no is: 1) list of all the things i will need 2 do this
a database (mysql and postgresql are best support but others will work too), php4 with xml support and support for whatever database you choose, and for email, access to an email server for your domain. for 6 user even a p166 with 64 meg can be made to work, but as always, more ram and a faster CPU is always helpful.
2) the process of compleating this (preferbly in simple steps)
http://docs.phpgroupware.org/html/install/ this is also linked form teh Downloads page at phpgroupware.org
3) is there any point in using php groupware or is there some better software out there (free) that would be better
there are other groupware suites, which is "better" depends on your needs (or lack of them). Most groupware systems I've seen want to be full mail servers which would require fetchmail or something if you don't want to host the email on your Internet connection. phpGroupWare has the advantage of running acceptably on older, slower, hardware and being a simple databased backed system which makes backups very easy. _______________________________________________ phpGroupWare-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/phpgroupware-users
