Group-Office Update client

If you have a support contract you can connect your Group-Office to the Group-Office Network so you can update Group-Office with a mouseclick when a new version is available. You need to install the updateclient module, install the PHP command line interface and configure sudo to execute the update script. This requires root access to the server!

  1. Install php-cli
  2. Install sudo
  3. Install wget
  4. Configure sudo to run the update script. Run "visudo" and add this line:
www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/your/group-office/modules/updateclient/upgrade.php

Replace "www-data" with your webserver user. Perhaps "apache"

Your done! Now you can update Group-Office with a mouseclick. You need your shop username and password and the hostname of the license to start the update client. 

Troubleshooting:

Passwd: is shown only in the status screen

If Password: is shown then you did not set sudo up correctly. Check the path using visudo. Then test if it works:

sudo -u www-data /path/to/upgrade.php

Replace www-data with your apache username
