OPEN-XCHANGEâ„¢ is a collaboration and integration server environment with a continuous right management for modules and objects. OPEN-XCHANGEâ„¢ ("OX") is a GPL Groupware solution provided by Netline. It's the "community" version of Novell/SUSE LINUX OPEN-XCHANGEâ„¢ Server ("SLOX"). The product is based on existing components like a web server, mail server, directory server and a database. OPEN-XCHANGEâ„¢ is JAVAâ„¢ based with some pieces of C for security components.
This guide contains all the necessary information for installing and understanding the architectural layout of the implementation. It was written with the assumption that you understand how to install programs and have a basic understanding of Linux Mandrake. This includes installing Linux Mandrake and RPM packages, editing files, making directories, compiling software and understanding general UNIX commands. This guide doesn’t explain how to use or configure OPEN-XCHANGE, Apache, Postfix, Cyrus and all the other server but information on where to obtain this information can be found in the "Additional information" section. Please note, the way the software is installed here is good enough for testing purposes, but certainly not for a production environment. I am also not responsible of possible data losses caused by the use of this guide. The guide is divided in three parts. In the first part we will perform a basic Mandrake 9.2 installation and the basic configuration of the needed servers. The second part continues with Java installation and compiling. This guide ends with the Post-Installation process and the basic OPEN-XCHANGE™ configuration. Read the workshop here. (html, pdf) |
