AppSuite:Parallel UISupport OX6 AppSuite Debian 6.0

Add OX6 GUI to Appsuite installation

This short document outlines the steps required to add an OX6 GUI to an Appsuite installation.

This procedure has been verified using an Appsuite 7.0.0 installation and an OX6 GUI from OX 6.22.1.

Add OX6 Frontend Repo to sources.list

E.g.

deb http://software.open-xchange.com/OX6/6.22/frontend/DebianSqueeze/ /

Install OX6 GUI Packages

# apt-get install open-xchange-gui

Adjust apache's /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file

Basically you need to merge the Appsuite and OX6 versions of this file. A working sample is given in the following.

# /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
 
       DocumentRoot /var/www/
 
       <Directory /var/www/>

               Order allow,deny
               allow from all
               RedirectMatch ^/$ /appsuite/
       </Directory>
 
       <Directory /var/www//appsuite>
               Options None +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
               AllowOverride Indexes FileInfo
       </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

The /etc/apache2/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf file should not require any adjustment.

That's it.
