[»] install problems
by cianoz - Nov 25th 2002 05:49:14

Sherpath is a very interesting suite but i tried to install it (win2k) and i got no good results because i get problems with access/login and register_globals setting for PHP environment.

Well, it should be very nice to have it working, but support for users and amins that are not very skilled seems to be poor :-(

I'm still looking for help all over the internet...

This is a nice package, but suffers from some small problems...

1) English v. French language - it's got 99% of the stuff working to handle the languages automagically, but there's a couple of pieces where it falls short. The login screen, and a couple of buttons (e.g., "retour" instead of "return"). It also seems to be dying when I go into the user edit mode - I think it's when looking up the language (like 34 or something like that).

2) It's slow going from screen to screen... This could be due to the intense amount of graphics... But at times it says that the page couldn't load due to a temporary overloading of the server... Since my server isn't running anything other than apache, it's not overloaded... Retrying a few times and it eventually loads...

Other than that, it appears well written... I anxiously await v 1.0 and beyond...

Right - in fact we were quite in a hurry before releasing the package. Besides, grammar and syntax is not fully correct, and will have to be rechecked by native English folks..

This is really strange, as performances were really a concern during the developpment. Pages (using a standard 600MHz server) should be generated between 0.5 and 4 seconds (except for the mail and the schedule module, which are slower).
As example, the groupware was installed and is being successfully used by 1000 people in a French administration (on a regular 1-intel-processor IBM server), without much troubles.

Ensure that you have recent server versions: - PHP >= 4.1.x (older ones had overflow problems) - mySql >= 3.23 (older versions were slow) - a fast imap demon (some imap servers are really slow too)

Some bogus browsers (IE 5.0/5.5SP1 for example..) are also SLOW when accessing the groupware using https.
