Bug#394

OpenGroupware revision 2181 closes Bug#394. It is now possible to set a default to determine the default storage backend for new projects. (Wow, with GNUstep based stuff one ends up using the term "default" so often in different ways....)

To select database as your default project storage backend:
Defaults write NSGlobalDomain OGoDefaultProjectStorageBackend Database

To select the filesystem as your default project storage backend:
Defaults write NSGlobalDomain OGoDefaultProjectStorageBackend FileSystem

Most people I assume will want "Database". Remember that default values are CASE SENSITIVE!

If you (at least on r2181) attempt to create a project without selecting FileSystem/Database you'll get a popup warning: "Please specify your project storage!" If the default is set then the preferred storage backend is preselected (and can be changed).

Aside: If you use FileSystem projects make sure you have the SkyFSPath default set and that the referred to directory has the correct permissions.

Packages Complete

OpenGroupware packages have been completely built on the build service for CentOS5, Fedora 9, openSUSE 10.3, RHEL 5, and SLES10. The Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.x packages needs some additional work.

Repositories at
:
Initial testing on CentOS 5 seems pretty positive, after a:
$ yum install ogo-meta ogo-database-setup

Only glaring bug is that ogo-database-setup doesn't actually populate the database schema so that still needs to be done by hand:


$ cat pg-build-schema.psql | psql -h localhost -U OGo OGo

Then restarting the services gives you [as far as I can tell so far] a fully working OGo install.

P.S. Make sure your getting the most current packages from the repository. mod_ngobjweb in particular should be dated March 4th; with the previous version the web resources (icons, etc...) for the WebUI won't be found at the configured path.
