| 1. | On what platforms runs moregroupware? |
| Basically it should run on any platform PHP runs on. Right now
these are at least:
Linux HP-UX Solaris OpenBSD MacOS X Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
|
| 2. | Which webserver should/can I use? |
| We prefer using Apache because of it's stable nature, but you can use
of course other webservers like IIS if you use windows. We suggest to use
a webserver which can be accessed by PHP via its API, for example Apache, IIS or
Netscape/IPlanet. If you must use a different webserver, you can always use the
CGI interface of PHP, but this is not the most performant way. So basically you
can use each webserver on the market.
|
| 3. | What PHP version should I have? |
| You should have at least version 4.2.x This is partly due to the usage of
the Smarty template engine, partly caused by other things. Older PHP versions
are somewhat outdated anyway...
|
| 4. | What database should I use? |
| We suggest to use MySQL because most of the developers use MySQL
for developing and testing. But because of our database abstraction
which is fully implemented in moregroupware, you should be able to use
different databases like PostgreSQL or Oracle in the future. Before version 1.0
of moregroupware is released, we strongly suggest to use MySQL and make
no promises that it works on other databases!

| 5. | Where can i find the exact installation instructions? |
| This manual contains all needed information.
|
| 6. | Is there a graphical installation procedure? |
| Yes. |
| 7. | Is there an update path / update procedure? |
| No, not right now. Its very tricky to implement a clever
update mechanism, so for now, if you install a new version,
you are mostly on your own to create the (perhaps) new/modified database
structure and to get your existent data into the new database / structure.
You will find help, though, in the moregroupware-all mailing list. We will post instructions for manual upgrades there.
