OpenGroupware

Recently I’ve been installing OpenGroupware.org, but I ran into some trouble with Postgresql. Namely the fact that it’s completely different in nature from MySQL, which I’m used to.
I was instlling OpenGroupware on CentOS, as it’s a work project, and will likely be hosted on a CentOS4 or RHEL4 box. For a kickoff, Postgresql keeps all its files in /var/lib/, even the /etc data. I was getting the following error after install, even though I was following the install documents…
OGoContextManager: could not open adaptor channel
It turns out that it was simple tweak to fix, just uncomment the “port = 5432” directive in /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf. I couldn’t be bothered restarting the services in the right order, so I just rebooted the machine, and hey presto it worked. One OpenGroupware login screen 😀
