Where has all the groupware gone.....

Mon May 6 14:30:18 UTC 2013

Hi Jim,

Next issue,

All the scripts, cron job templates, version updates for SOGo, databases, etc. don't seem to be installed either.  Although some are RH/Linux specific, some are useful.

They are located in SOGo-2.0.5/Scripts.  I think that the place to put them is /usr/local/sogo/[S,s]cripts or some such.
Things that are missing that are, apparently, startup blockers:

/var/run/sogo/ directory needs to be created
/var/log/sogo/ directory need to be created and owned by sogo:sogo

(These will allow you to see that sogo is starting through the log file /var/log/sogo/sogo.log)

Next, since you have chosen that the port installs in /usr/local/GNUstep and SOGo is in the /usr/local/GNUstep/Local/Library/SOGo directory, that would probably be a good choice to be the home directory for the sogo user and a good location for the sogo.conf file (unless there's a location I'm not aware of.)

Here's the fun that I've been experiencing.... Apache interface to all 
this.  There's a couple of more things that should be put in the 'post 
install' message:

Apache needs to be configured with the proxy module(s) to use this software.  Go to your Apache port directory and type:  make config and enable the proxy module and the proxy_http submodule if it hasn't been  Also, you're going to need to define it in your httpd.conf file if this isn't a fresh install.

Next, uncomment the following line in the httpd.conf file:

Include etc/apache<VERS>/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

 put this in the /usr/local/etc/apache<VERS>/extra/http-vhosts.conf (change domain, server name, IPs,  accordingly)

Comment out any unused VirtualHost declarations in the file.

Also, where is the sogo.conf file supposed to be located?  That is, what directory?  /var/lib doesn't exist on a BSD machine.

Thank you!

PS - Just trying to help.  I'm having a bear of a time with this port right now.  I need something that is a solid groupware server.

The port will get the software installed for you. Beyond that, it is up to you to read the documentation to configure and implement it. See <http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/documentation.html>, specifically chapter 5 in the Installation and Configuration Guide.

I suppose the port could install a /usr/local/etc/sogo.conf.sample file, but configuration of SOGo is so specific and unique to each and every environment that I believe it would likely cause more confusion than it would avoid.
