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).

Installation

from Repository

When installed from a repository, Group-Office keeps some information completely outside of the web server files (unlike most web software):

  • /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
  • /home/groupoffice contains some data files
  • supposedly, the user can configure a folder for allowing access to server files through Group-Office, but I haven't been able to get this to work yet --Woozle 18:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
