OK, indeed I needed to install libapache2-mod-ngobjweb and now I the
redirect within apache works. Now I'm getting the well-known-error

The SKYRIX application server could not connect to the database server !

Please ensure that your database server is running and that the
LSConnectionDictionary default is correctly set.

So I wanted figure out if the problem could be the database itself.
Shame on me I've only worked with mysql so I even cannot access the DB.
I try it with

su - postgres
psql -u ogo

Then it tells my something about depricated but asks me for the pass. I
don't know why but I tried and tried again but the authentication fails.
Maybe there is the mistake. That is where I am now.

Let me continue now with your answers.

Just now ;) But unfortunately it did not help. Example:
http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/lutz/Opengroupware%20install%20howto%20in%20german/view?searchterm=install%20AND%20debian

This HowTo was indeed helpful. But I really wonder why there is not even
one single HowTo concerning the latest build of OGo with at least a
little excursion regarding PostgreSQL.

ps ax | grep ogo-webui returns:

15757 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/daemon -F
/var/lib/opengroupware.org/webui.pid -X /usr/sbin/ogo-webui-1.0 -WOPort
20000 -E /var/log/opengroupware.org/admin/webui.log

15763 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/ogo-webui-1.0 -WOPort 20000

Is it normal that webui runs twice?

Returns:
tcp        0      0 *:20000       *:*       LISTEN   15763/ogo-webui-1.0

Let me see. I added the following lines in apache2.conf:

<LocationMatch "^/opengroupware*">
      SetHandler ngobjweb-adaptor
      SetAppPort 20000
</LocationMatch>

But there are two thinks I really wonder about. First I can type both
hostname/OpenGroupware AND hostname/opengroupware. Have I messed
everything up completely now?
But comparing both netstat-return and configuration it seems to match.

Yes I figured this out formerly and purged apache after having moved
conf.d's content to apache2's conf.d

But here is a difference. I used opengroupware-1.0.0-finally because
afaik or as far as i read finally is a stable release and trunk means
something like unstable. Or am I wrong with that? The problem is that I
must explain myself why I want to use something unstable. I am working
for a university and my collegues there must rely on my installation.

> Martin, we should write this up. Or post something brief to the
documentation site.

I still agree with that! But first of all I need to get OGo started ;)
Where do you come from, Matt? Maybe we should swap our mail-adresses to
write a good text...


Let me mention that I am of course not only waiting for and relaying on
your replys. I'm still working on that, too.

Really: Thank you for your help. Please don't stop, I think that the
solution is not so far away!

Kind regards,
Martin
