Quick Installation Guide

Notice

This document represents a short reference for installing the Zope Applicaction Server, the HylaFax Server, the Zope-Product ZopeFax and some special tools required by ZopeFax. This reference implies, that there is a host system available, where the following components are installed and configured:

ZopeFax is an Open Source Project, that was developed on a system running RedHat Linux 7.3, Zope 2.6.1 and Python 2.2. This documentation deals with the several steps of installation and configuration that has been caried out on the described system. Installing this components on another type of host systen can lead to problems.

Another precondition for a successful installation and configuration is the availability of an LDAP Server, that is used for handling authorisation. This LDAP Server must contain a usergroup faxmanger an some users assigned to this group. The users assigned to this group will be informed about incomming fax by a Perl script named faxrcvd. Also the implemented user management checks if some user is assigned to this group. If some user is member of the group faxmanger he/she will access another enviroment as a normal user (who is not member of group faxmanger).

As mentioned before this is only a quick installation guide. If you need more detailed informations please read the ZopeFax-Dokumentation (sadly it is only available in german language - sorry).
