egroupware installation plesk 8.2 suse linux 10.1 please help !

[sukram33]

hello, ich would be very glad to get some help while installing egroupware on a root server with system linux suse 10.1 and administration software plesk 8.2.

i read the admin guide for plesk and tried out what they write about vhost.conf, but it did not work. i searched egroupware.org and tried what some users wrote there, but unfortunatly it did not work either.

here is the path to the doc root:

/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/httpdocs

egroupware is in the following directory:

/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/httpdocs/egroupware

a made the following directories:

/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/backup
/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/files
/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/tmp

and i wonder what owner:group they should have and which permissions ?

which other directories or paths are necessary ?

what shall i write to the vhost.conf ?

and how to tell the server to include the vhost.conf information ?

thank you very much in advance for any information or help,
markus

Well my friend, you seem to be as much a fool as i am. eGroupWare is in the vault of Plesk and can be installed in a couple of minutes.

But, same like you i wanted to install it myself and got stuck at the same point.

After a lot of hours surfing on the internet i found the following solution, and IT WORKS!

Special thanks go to the people of swsoft for putting up an article in the knowledgebase that is of no use!

The solution:
i made a subdir /srv/www/vhosts/<domain>/groupware in whicht i created the dir's files and backup. I left the tmp dir as it was.

Put the following in the file vhost.conf:
<DirectoryMatch /srv/www/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs>
php_admin_value open_basdir "<original open_basedir of httpd.include>:/srv/www/vhosts/<domain>/groupware"
</DirectoryMatch>

all the dir's are uid.guid www.wwwrun
mode 0700

greets,
Erland.
