Horde is The Horde Framework provides a common structure and interface for Horde applications (such as IMP, a web-based mail program).
Basicaly I want to try new webmail for cyrus IMAP. So I was in searching for good Webmail application. I tried roundcubemail and atmail also. Both are good in looks but lack in features.
So Friends, Lets start.
1. Prerequisites
apache, php php-imap php-mysql, mysql-server imap(cyrus-imapd) sendmail poppasswd.
Note that This is the prerequisites for my installation.
To install this application you need to have root access on system. off cource.
Open a gnome-terminal ( Kaali Khidaki) my favorite terminal.
switch to root user.
$su -
2. Configure PHP
open /etc/php.ini and edit bellow lines
file_uploads = On
short_open_tag = On
###install horde application and componants. also install turba and kronolith. the address book and calender application along with this.
ingo is The Horde web-based Email Filter Rules Manager
and imp is webmail application.
[root@lp ~]#yum install imp horde kronolith turba ingo -y
It will install few dependamcies also.
3. Configure mysql
Check that mysql is running:
# service mysqld restart
Create the horde database:
# cd /usr/share/horde/scripts/sql/
# vi vim create.mysql.sql #Important#edit the default password
# mysql -p < create.mysql.sql # create the tables
Test to see if you can connect to the database:
# mysql -h localhost -D horde -u horde -pExit mysql with the command 'exit'
If you can't connect, look a the throubleshooting guide before continuing
4. Configure Horde config files
Go to:
# cd horde/config
and make a copy of the default configuration files:
Here is my config files fo refence.
[root@lp ~]# cat /etc/horde/conf.php
/* CONFIG START. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN OR AFTER THIS LINE. */

5. Configure Horde for IMP
Edit this files to allow IMP to run under Horde:
Again I am posting my config file here,
[root@lp ~]# cat /etc/horde/imp/conf.php
/* CONFIG START. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN OR AFTER THIS LINE. */

Edit /etc/horde/imp/config/servers.php
$servers['imap'] = array(
'name' => "IMAP Server",
'server' => 'localhost',
'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
'port' => 143,
'folders' => 'mail/',
'namespace' => '',
'port' => 143,
'maildomain' => 'localhost',
'smtphost' => 'localhost',
'smtpport' => 25,
'realm' => '',
'preferred' => 'true'
);
Now you can access the webbased admin consol for remaining config.
