Procedure.svg Install and Configure OpenAtrium
Organic Design procedure

OpenAtrium is an "intranet in a box that has group spaces to allow different teams to have their own conversations. It comes with six features - a blog, a wiki, a calendar, a to do list, a shoutbox, and a dashboard to manage it all."

OpenAtrium is actually an installation profile of Drupal and it install a fully functional Drupal 6, which can be treated as a normal Drupal, especially regarding permissions.

Set Up

Download the relevant openAtrium distro. A server set up as an OD server will have all of openAtrium's requirements available out of the box.

Follow the excellent and detailed quickstart.

The quickstart assumes the installer is a Linux sysadmin. You need to set up a MySql database on a LAMP server, and perform the Drupal file system steps and Apache mod rewrites.

Don't bother with fancy rewrites for clean URLs, and don't enable clean URLs in the setup.

The Case Tracker in Atrium does the same thing as the Timetracker in Storm, the latter is deemed to be better and should be installed. So don't use Case Tracker for now.
