Group-Office's webmail component

About

Group-Office is a free/open-source groupware package that also has a premium (paid) version with more features. Unlike most web software packages, it is available for repository-based installation for Debian or Ubuntu, allowing for easier installation and maintenance.

Premium Version

Upgrading from free to premium involves installing a license and the Ioncube file, which requires root access (the php.ini file must be modified and PHP will need to be restarted).

Bugs

Version 3.5.12 has an email sorting bug.

Installation

from Repository

When installed from a repository, Group-Office keeps some files completely outside of the public web folders:

/usr/share/groupoffice contains the executable code (mostly PHP, some Javascript)
- The apt-get installation process creates a link to this folder from a location in the web server file area, rather than just putting the files there.
/etc/groupoffice contains configuration files, one of which (config.php) specifies the locations of other key folders:
- $config['root_path'] (/home/groupoffice by default) contains some data files
- $config['file_storage_path'] (/home/groupoffice/something by default) specifies the folder where the "file" module stores files
- $config['local_path'] (/home/groupoffice/local/ by default): purpose unknown
