I could not fall asleep tonight (way too many iced coffee drinks!), so I decided to try installing Horde on my server. I was expecting it to be extremely difficult, but the documentation really guided me through it.
Here's a how-to for installing it on a DA server:
Go to http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=9992#post9992 for instructions on how to compile imap into php
Follow his instructions for steps 1-6.
7) Change the configure.php in /usr/local/directadmin/customapache. Add these lines:
--with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2000e \
--with-gettext
at the end of the configure statement. Remember to add a "\" to the previous line. The configure statement should look like this:
Finish with steps 8 and 9.
Now, do the following via ssh:
See what directory is created, for me it's horde-2.2.5. Then edit
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to add:
If your folder's version # is different, change it to reflect that. Save and then restart apache (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart for BSD, service httpd restart for Linux). Back to the shell:
edit mysql_drop.sql to the password of your choice, just for security reasons. then do:
Make a note of what adminpass equals. Replace adminpass below with it.
It's time to test it out. Go to http://yourdomain.com/horde/test.php
You should get:
Everything that's displaying "No" on my page above won't hinder performance. If you want
all "Yes"/green, I'm sure you can find tutorials elsewhere to get them working.
So, you've installed Horde. Now, that's nice and all, but it's not useful at all right now.
Everything (even mail checking) are external projects you need to add. I'll only get into installing IMP for now, which is their email client.
Edit /var/www/html/horde-2.2.5/config/registry.php and change:
to:
and further down in the file, make sure the status for horde is set to active:
then in the shell:
The documentation says to do some more configuring, but I didn't and it worked immediately.
Try going to http://yourdomain.com/horde/ and logging in using a full email address and password. It works great for me.
Now, this just installs Horde and IMP. It's very barebones, there's no address book or calendar which those of you who used cPanel's Horde earlier are probably used to. But it works!
I'll probably try installing Kronolith (calendar) and Turba (Address Book) and post how-to's for those as well.
Please let me know how it goes for you!
