How to install and secure egroupware - Directory UMM

Restart you PostgreSQL server and test the connectivity:
[root@server html]# /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
[root@server html]# su - postgres
bash-2.05b$ psql -h localhost template1
Close the database connectivity:
template1=# \q
Set up your PostgreSQL database.
Create a user which has rights to access the eGroupWare DB:
bash-2.05b$ createuser yourdbusername –P
Answer the next questions with yes:
bash-2.0.5b$ Shall the new user be allowed to create databases?
(y/n) Y
bash-2.0.5b$ Shall the new user be allowed to create more new
users? (y/n) N
Create the new eGroupWare database:
7.2 How to start the setup?
bash-2.05b$ createdb -U yourdbusername yourdatabasename
Point your Browser to your server URL to open the setup menu:
https://www.yourserver.com/egroupware/setup
You will automatically be redirected to a check of the eGroupWare installation, which is our next step.
7.3 Checking the eGroupWare installation
If no header.inc.php file is created, eGroupWare runs a check about some configuration parameters in your
php.ini and in your local file system. The check shows you errors in your configuration and warnings.
� The errors are shown with a red cross and must be solved by you!
Warnings may be ignored. For example, you may see a warning from the check for safe_mode. If you know
how to configure the safe mode restrictions it will be no problem for you, but for new users it is often better to
disable this function.
