[Phpgroupware-developers] Installing CK-ERP in a FC3 environment

[C K Wu]

Hi, folks,

Thought you may be interested.

Recently, I have been trying to install CK-ERP within a Fedora Core 3 
environment.  Two problems emerge.  Both of the problems are due to 
SELinux being activated by default. The following lists the problems and 
the solutions,

a)   phpGroupWare is unable to connect to MySQL via unix socket.  The 
solution is to specify the db host machine to be 127.0.0.1 or 
localhost.localdomain so as to force tcpip connection.  This problem is 
detailed in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=138421

b)  The webserver, apache, is unable to write to the filesystem.  The 
simpliest solution is to disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon.  
Further detail is available from 
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/printthread.php?t=25907

With these problems solved, everything goes back to normal.  Using 
PostgreSQL as the DB engine seems to exhibit the same behavior and the 
same solutions apply.

Cheers,
CK
