I know you offer Neomail and Horde as web-based email systems. I have used OpenWebmail for several months at another host and REALLY like it. Would you please put together a procedure for how I can install OpenWebmail in my own cgi-bin and make it operational?

Thanks a bunch.

Sorry but you won't be able to install OpenWebmail on the shared account. I have just tried to do it in order to make a howto and it is impossible. Though you can do it on dedicated server.

As far as horde now is the best project I seen and IMP is very functional webmail. I guess you should have a closer look on it.

I am pretty sure OpenWebmail was installed and working fine at my previous host on a SHARED account, not dedicated server.

I don't know server configuration of your previous host. Just I can say that you cannot install openwebmail on our server on shared account and we cannot install it serverwide because it will conflit with neomail.

Serge, is there a FAQ or HowTo for installing Horde? I know I tried it once before and had little luck.

1 - Recompile PHP with gettext support (Ask support)

2- Download file http://horde.nantucketkiteboarding.com/hor...2002-cpanel.tgz (it's last CVS snapshot of Horde compressed by me - ready for Cpanel)

3- Extract it somewhere you want to have horde files saved

4- Download file http://horde.nantucketkiteboarding.com/pear-horde.tgz (standard php PEAR libraries + some libs nondistributed with PHP but needed by Horde) and expand

5- Download file http://horde.nantucketkiteboarding.com/hor...orde_create.sql

6- Change password in horde_create.sql on this line(it will be MySql password to horde database):

-- IMPORTANT: Change this password!
password('horde')

7- Create database with all tables by this command:

mysql --user=root --password=&MySQL-root-password& & horde_create.sql

8- Edit files bellow and change ***** for password what you chose in step 6

horde/config/conf.php
horde/kronolith/config/conf.php
horde/mnemo/config/conf.php
horde/nag/config/conf.php
horde/sam/config/conf.php
horde/turba/config/sources.php

9- in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf bellow bandwidth alias add other one:

Alias /horde/ /usr/local/wwwapps/horde/

(ask support)



10. at this moment you should be able access Horde/IMP on http://www.domain.com/horde/ and(or) http://www.domain.com/webmail , if not something is wrong so write post about it.




11- If you want to use SpamAssassin control application you have to:
-add line:

/usr/bin/spamd -q -x -d --auto-whitelist

in file /etc/rc.d/rc.local - for start SpamAssassin daemon at the startup

- edit /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and add lines:

user_scores_dsn DBI:mysql:horde:localhost
user_scores_sql_username horde
user_scores_sql_password ******
user_scores_sql_table sam_userpref

-install perl module'Msql'

note: to do it you need root access. (Ask support)
