<title>How to make it work...</title>
<para>
Both Linux and Windows NT/2000/XP will do. Linux is preferred due to aspects
as less expensive and friendlier regarding tuning, safety and reliability.
</para>
<para>
The production server is here based on Linux Mandrake 10.0 while the
development server is on a laptop with dualboot Linux/Windows XP.
</para>
<para>
PhpGroupWare runs on MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server (tested
— and working ok). If one wants to utilize foreign keys — one has
to consider not using MySQL — although this feature is promised in the
next version (version 4.x). PhpGroupWare also claims to be running on Oracle
and Sybase.
</para>
<para>
In this case the databaseserver is a Microsoft SQL Server v7.0 located on a
dedicated databaseserver.
</para>
<refsection>
<title>Install Linux operative system</title>
<para>
Download the images needed from Linux from
<ulink
url="http://www.mandrakelinux.com/";>http://www.mandrakelinux.com/</ulink>
or some other distributor and burn the CDs and boot into the installation
process — which is pretty self explanatory.
</para>
<para>
Do not install a database-server (PostgreSQL or MySQL) or Web-server
(Apache) unless you intend to. The Web-server is very much needed —
but there is some performance to gain from compiling as most as possible
into the httpd executable in addition to assuring the PHP databasesupport
for
<quote>MSSQL</quote>
.
</para>
</refsection>
<refsection>
<title>Web-server with PHP-support</title>
<refsection>
<title>Windows version</title>
<para>
The implementation is tested on both
<quote>Apache</quote>
and
<quote>Internet Information Services</quote>
(IIS)
</para>
<para>
If the platform is of some brand of windows — the obvious choice is
the bundled IIS. For best performance — make sure that the version is
later than 5.x.
</para>
<para>
Alternatively — the apache 2.x is reported to be a good alternative
(used as part of the developement server).
</para>
<para>
Download the latest Php interpreter from
<ulink url="http://www.php.net/";>http://www.php.net</ulink>
— and install it as described in the
<quote>install.txt</quote>
. Choose the CGI-mode — even though there is a performance penalty.
</para>
<para>
If one intends to use MSSQL database server — one has to enable the
<quote>extension = php_mssql.dll</quote>
in the extension part of
<quote>php.ini</quote>
— and copy the
<quote>NTWDBLIB.DLL</quote>
(bundled) SQL server Client Library and place it in the systems path.
</para>
<para>
To enable the imap support (to enable the built-in web-mail facility in
PhpGroupWare) — enable
<quote>extension = php_imap.dll</quote>
in php.ini
</para>

<title>Tuning — caching</title>
<para>
The Linux version
<footnote>
<para>
Turck MMCache is availlable for both windows and *nix
</para>
</footnote>
has the free opportunity to utilize a php-accelerator which saves
compilation time by caching. Every time a PHP script is accessed, the PHP
engine must open the script file and read, parse, and compile the file
contents into a compiled form. With scripts often including other scripts,
this work can become a significant part of the overall time to deliver a
page. The Accelerator caches the compiled scripts in shared memory for
later reuse.
</para>
</refsection>
<refsection>
<title>Tuning — compression</title>
<para>
there is techinques to deliver dynamically compressed content 'on the fly'
to any browser or user-agent that is capable of receiving it — and
thereby saves bandwidth. Typically compression ratio for text is about 90
%.
</para>
<para>
mod_gzip is an addon module for apache 1.3.x , while mod_deflate is the
equivalent built in module for apache2
</para>

<refsection>
<title>Installation of web-server on Linux with mssql support</title>
<para>
FreeTDS is a set of libraries for Unix and Linux that allows your programs
to natively talk to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases and have to
be kompiled into php if one intend to connect to either MSSQL or Sybase.
Further — you need the c-client library to enable IMAP-support.

relies on the expat XML parser, so not only do you have to install both of
those packages, but you need to install them in the right order to satisfy
the dependencies.

<title>PhpGroupWare - integration with BOEI</title>
<para>
All property and tenant information is owned and maintained by BOEI - an
external database. Since PhpGroupWare is not allowed to write back to BOEI
— data is collected and updated from tables in BOEI and written to
tables in PhpGroupWare by means of stored procedures and scheduled jobs. The
creation of views and procedures are done by executing scripts on the
database server. The scheduling of the jobs has to be manually defined on
database server.
</para>
<para>
If both databases reside on the server — the tables can be accessed
directly within the procedures — as opposed to when the databases
resides on different servers — it is necessary call up the tables as
views - and then operate on them.
</para>
<para>
Adding records is straight forward querying: left join the master-table
— and check for NULL in the slave-table.
</para>
<para>
Updating records demands programming due to fact that MSSQL does not allow
update-query as one would normally do in MsAccess.
</para>
<para>
The problem can be solved by tagging records during update — and
asking for one row at the time that are not tagged (or at least not tagged
this time)
</para>
