How to Install Egroupware on Fedora Server Latest

Egroupware is an open-source software for enterprise collaboration that provides various tools for managing projects, contacts, appointments, and more. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Egroupware on the Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Egroupware, make sure that your server meets the following requirements:

• Fedora Server Latest is installed
• Web server (Apache or Nginx) is installed and running
• PHP version 7.1 or higher is installed
• MySQL or MariaDB is installed and running

Step 1: Install Required PHP Modules

Egroupware requires several PHP modules to work correctly. Use the following command to install the required PHP modules on your system:

sudo dnf install php-gd php-mysqlnd php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-xml php-ldap php-imap php-intl php-zip

Step 2: Install Egroupware

You can download the latest Egroupware package from the official website or use the following command to download and install Egroupware on your server:

sudo dnf install egroupware-epl

Step 3: Configure Web Server

By default, Egroupware comes pre-configured for Apache web server. If you are using Nginx as your web server, you need to create a virtual host configuration file for Egroupware.

Configuring Apache Web Server

If you are using Apache web server, you can skip this step as Egroupware comes pre-configured for Apache.

Configuring Nginx Web Server

Create a new server block file for Egroupware in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/egroupware.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name egroupware.example.com;

    root /usr/share/egroupware;

    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
    }

    location /egroupware {
        return 301 /;
    }
}

Save and close the file when you are done.

Restart Web Server

After configuring the web server, you need to restart it for the changes to take effect.

Restart Apache

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Restart Nginx

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 4: Create Database for Egroupware

Egroupware needs a database to store its data. You can create a new database for Egroupware with the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password and press Enter. Then, create a new database and a new user and grant all privileges on the database to the new user.

CREATE DATABASE egroupwaredb;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON egroupwaredb.* TO 'egroupwareuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace egroupwaredb, egroupwareuser and password with your own values.

Step 5: Access Egroupware Installation Wizard

After completing the previous steps, you can now access the Egroupware installation wizard by visiting your server's domain name or IP address in a web browser. For example:

http://yourdomain.com/egroupware/setup/

The installation wizard will guide you through the process of configuring Egroupware.
