ZAPPATA Personal Groupware is available

ZAPPATA has released the first beta of their personal groupware. The makers of ZOE describe ZAPPATA as "a seamless infrastructure for private collaboration." I wasn't able to get it to work, but I wanted to document the steps I took on Mac OS X 10.2 in case anyone sees something obvious wrong.

1. Starting the .jar will enable the setup in your browser.

2. I received a message that I needed to open two ports after the setup.

3. Even after setting the password several times, I keep getting this message that I need to set my password.

4. I opened the ports on the firewall.

5. I configured an IMAP account that will only show "offline".

UPDATE 7:03 AM

It looks like a problem with IMAP.

Hi Michael

thanks

Michael, try to remove the space in the pathname (zappata-0.4.520 Folder) and see if the problem persists.

Indeed, the space in the path name is the culprit. We have fixed the bug. The next beta release is just around the corner

Try to download the new build (521) from http://www.zappatanetworks.com/download

It has fixed that problem
