Short installation instructions

These are the short installation instructions (for the impatient). See further below for detailed instructions.

  1. Extract the more.groupware archive (.tar or .zip) to the desired location.

  2. Give the webserver write permission to the moregw folder.

  3. Create a database on your database server and remember the name... :) Create a database user to use with more.groupware (for added security DO NOT use the root user!). Give the database user you want to use the rights to CREATE and DROP tables on the database you just created. To upgrade an existing more.groupware-database please see the appendix for upgrade instructions.

  4. Point your browser to /setup/index.php in your more.groupware folder. For example http://yourdomain.com/moregroupware/setup/index.php Follow these instructions during the installation.
