Horde Webmail Edition Script v1.3.2

You all probably have seen tons of HowTo's about Horde. Here's another one (semi automatic).
Hopefully it will ease the installation for some of you ;) I've tested it under CentOS and CustomBuild

Horde setup script

For this to work you'll need php with imap support and imapd. You can use the "horde_imap_support.sh" included in the package.

The installation itself

Code: 
# wget http://www.fusion-ict.nl/da_plugin/horde_install.tar.gz
# tar zxvf horde_install.tar.gz
# cd horde_install

Interactivly Expiremental Imap install works only with custombuild

Code: 
# sh /horde_imap_support.sh

Horde Installation (fully automated)

Code: 
# sh horde_install.sh

Database information is also send to the admin email account (default admin)

That's it! You should now (after restart/reloading) apache/httpd access horde at http://website/horde

You can first check your setup: http://website/horde/test.php (imp tests etc.)

If you want to run the manual (re-)configure (horde):

Code: 
# php /var/www/html/horde/scripts/setup.php

If you have compile problems with php and imap c-client.a error. Please change the line to the correct corresponding system type in the table below. First 3 characters. (If you have FreeBSD this is automaticaly changed for you).

Code:

I have a bash script that does it automatically (if anyone wants it) :) You just need to execute 1 command and that's it.
 
It is fully automated (horde part), the configuration part is done by horde itself, i don't automate this as it isn't horde version specific. Please feedback concerning this script.

Yes, but my idea was to include it by default with DA (CustomBuild) :) And it's still in my future plans. That's why it's fully automated (doesn't need user input). (change http://files.directadmin.com/services/all/horde to another URL (if you want to test it), because it's not yet uploaded to DA servers). Good luck and thank you for the semi-automatic script too!

smtalk,

I don't know what your script does, but it isn't working for the standard hode install files. I can't retest it as it will re-screw my horde setup.

It's not working for me and probably not for others with a clean setup. Please redirect your feedback to my private messages instead of in this forum.

Thanks :)
 
Has anything in either of these 2 scripts been done as far as security? I know that horde has been a very easy target in the past.
 
Scott,

Easy target? I haven't had any major problems when keeping track of the latest version / patches. The groupware family is pretty new, but if there are security problems, there are patches normaly.

The script works with the latest and permissions are set as wide as any other mail client. Disable admin functionality to be sure not to get any CLI/Shell hacks (as this is in the admin section).

Not setting up an admin email (last step) and removing the files should be sufficient.

Kind Regards

Jordy

I guess my other question is whether or not this works with dovecot or not?

I've converted to dovecot a few months ago and it seems to be working out better for me than the original pop3 and imap daemons did.
 
Martynas; Will (your?) Horde implementation be shipped with DA eventually or with your custombuild script?
 
Henrik - it's in my future plans. Firstly we need to get IMAP compiled with PHP by default, and then I'll finish my Horde (beta) script.
 
Custombuild with IMAP added to the package. It's now fully automated (expirimental offcourse).

The horde install is now fully automated.

Only the IMAP install is interactivly as this has to be closely monitred for bugs. I don't want to screw DA installations up ;)

Detailed info could help. As of what doesn't work. The script gives output so if you want it to work for you... you'll have to give more info ;)
 
Just tried the php-imapd script. I use custombuild and I'm Centos5 64 bit. Here's what it says at the end.

Code: 
Thank you for using PHP.

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/ap2/configure.php5: line 30: --with-imap=/usr/local/imap-libs: No such file or directory

*** There was an error while trying to configure php. Check the configure/ap2/configure.php5 file


**** OK ALL DONE ****
Continue with HORDE INSTALL by executing 'sh horde_install.sh'

I'm going to work on it now. Just thought I'd post when it happened.
 
1 bug:
Missing config directive:
Code: 
$conf['urls']['token_lifetime'] = 1800;

1 typo:
Code: 
Horde setup script dtabase following information

What is the solution for this problem ?
 
smtalk said:
Install IMAP manually, then run Horde Webmail installation script.

Please forgive my ignorance but I tried installing Horde this morning via the instructions at the beginning of this thread and then I ran into a problem when I went to restart Apache. Took me a while to figure out how to fix apache but I was able to do that by running ./build rewrite_confs to get it going again.

Anyhow my question here is how do I do a manual install of IMAP? Then again with dovecot being installed on the server wouldn't IMAP already be installed?
