I have ran through this instruction set and I have to say that it is great.
The following additional rpms need to be installed... 1. php-devel 2. php-imap The pecl command needs to be changed to the following,,, pecl install Imagick json LZF geoip If pecl fails like it did for me with ImageMagick you should refer to the following bug... http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=18057 After running the pecl command and answering with defaults you need to add the following 4 lines into the php.ini file. extension=imagick.so extension=geoip.so extension=lzf.so extension=json.so I also found that you have to add the user to the database server, I thought it would do it when I adjusted the sql script with my prefered password, but I was wrong. In some of my searches on the web to fill in holes in my knowledge, I found the following security settings are recommended... Security configuration Secure config files: chown apache:root -R /var/www/html/horde/config chown apache:root -R /var/www/html/horde/*/config chmod -R go-rwx /var/www/html/horde/config chmod -R go-rwx /var/www/html/horde/*/configSecure scripts: chown -R root:root /var/www/html/horde/scripts chown -R root:root /var/www/html/horde/*/scripts chmod -R go-rwx /var/www/html/horde/scripts chmod -R go-rwx /var/www/html/horde/*/scriptsSecure test.php: chmod a-rwx /var/www/html/horde/test.php chmod a-rwx /var/www/html/horde/*/test.phpThanks for the help list.

I do not care if it is a squirelmail skin that I have to pay for or some other completely different application. Thank you, Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I presume you mean a mail client application, not an administrative one. There will be a Horde webmail package available for QMT at some point in the not too distant future, I expect by the end of the year. Egroupware also has a nice webmail app (from what I've heard). There are also skins for squirrelmail, some of which would require you to use their package instead of squirrelmail-toaster, which only means that you might have a little configuration to do with it. The squirrelmail configuration isn't difficult. Basically, any web app that's imap/smtp compatible should work just fine. Take your pick. I couldn't locate the Horde install guide on the wiki site, but here is Anil's guide that should take care of you! Horde Configuration Guide: (Assuming you are using Centos 5 or RHEL 5 distro but horde installation steps will remain same in all linux distros) Step 1: Download horde tar file into any downloads folder wget ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/horde-webmail/horde-webmail-latest.tar.gz go to the www root folder. # cd /var/www/html # tar -zxvf /path to you horde download folder/horde-webmail-latest.tar.gz # mv horde-webmail-1.2.6 horde # cd horde Install Required PHP modules: # yum -y install GeoIP geoip-devel gd ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-perl # yum -y install php-mbstring php-gettext php-gd php-xml php-mcrypt php-pecl-Fileinfo # pecl install Imagic json LZF geoip edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the following: <Directory /var/www/html/horde> Options Includes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all AcceptPathInfo On php_flag track_vars On #php_admin_value memory_limit 384M php_admin_value post_max_size 20M </Directory> # service httpd restart http://your-server-ip/horde/test.php check if all required php modules are installed Step 2. Step 2: Now Configure Horde: # cd /var/www/html/horde Before executing the setup.php script we need to change the default password for user horde in the sql script for horde database creation. If you don't want to change the default password skip this step and directly to Step3 and run the setup script: # vi scripts/sql/create.mysql.sql USE mysql; REPLACE INTO user (host, user, password) VALUES ( 'localhost', 'horde', -- IMPORTANT: Change this password. PASSWORD('horde') <---------------(Change you password here) ); save the file and proceed to step 3.
