Howto implement z-push in GROUP-E 19 20 1.1 Software 21 Get the newest package group-e_z-push.xx.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/group-e/. 22 Extract it in a directory (e.g. /opt/group-e). 23 24 1.2 Apache 25 Group-e_z-push needs an redirect entry in apache to handle the ActiveSync requests. 26 27 # 28 Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /opt/z-push/index.php 29 # 30 31 Additionally the value of Apache directive KeepAliveTimeout should be at least 45 32 33 # 34 KeepAliveTimeout 45 35 # 36 37 Put these two entries in your global or virtual server configuration of apache. 38 Reload apache to activate the changes. 39 40 If you don't use virtual servers in apache you MUST change the path entry GROUP_URL_PATH 41 in file z-push/config.php to your configured path e.g. 42 43 # 44 define('GROUP_URL_PATH','/group-e/soap.php'); 45 # 46 47 48 2. Howto synchronize with ActiveSync Clients 49 Search for "Exchange Active Sync" application on your mobile device. 50 Open the configuration interface and 51 52 Exchange Server -> The name or IP address of your GROUP-E server 53 Secure Connection -> Choose yes if you use SSL with GROUP-E otherwise no 54 Username -> Your GROUP-E Username 55 Password -> Your GROUP-E Password 56 Domain -> Leave this field empty 57 58 !! Be careful when syncing the first time. You can loose your data when 59 you choose the wrong option. Always make a backup of your data !! 60 Normally you can choose between two options for syncing data. 61 1. Delete entries on handheld 62 2. Don't touch my entries ond handheld 63 If you choose 1. all entries on your mobile device will be deleted and the data 64 from GROUP-E will be synchronized. If you choose 2. the data on the mobile device 65 will be synchronized with GROUP-E and you possibly get doubles if you have already 66 the same data in GROUP-E and your mobile device. 67 So you should consider carefully what you want before synchronising ! 68 69 Calendar sync. -> yes 70 Tasks sync. -> yes 71 Contacts sync -> yes 72 E-Mail sync. -> yes et implemented) 73 74 Start syncing. 75 76 If you have problems with z-push read also INSTALL-z-push for debugging. 77 78 79 ActiveSync is a registered Trademark of Microsoft Corporation 80 81
