Horde Groupware Webmail Edition is a free, enterprise ready, browser based communication suite. Users can read, send and organize email messages and manage and share calendars, contacts, tasks and notes with the standards compliant components from the Horde Project. Horde Groupware Webmail Edition bundles the separately available applications IMP, Ingo, Kronolith, Turba, Nag and Mnemo.
This is only necessary if you didn't do it at installation.
Use system-config-network-tui to set up IP, Netmask and Gateway:
system-config-network-tui
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and set your hostname:
NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=yourhostname.yourdomain.com
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add your DNS servers:
nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220
Edit /etc/hosts to something like this, according to your system settings:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.100 yourhostname.yourdomain.com yourhostname ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
Restart network:
service network restart
If your using GUI interface (like gnome), you may need to restart it:
init 6
yum install -y gettext httpd mysql mysql-server dovecot postfix system-switch-mail perl
yum install -y php php-mysql php-xml php-imap php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-pecl-Fileinfo php-pecl-memcache \
php-pear-DB php-pear-File php-pear-Log php-pear-Mail-Mime php-pear-Auth-SASL php-pear-Date \
php-pear-HTTP-Request php-pear-Mail php-pear-Net-Sieve php-pear-Net-Socket php-pear-Net-SMTP \
php-pear-MDB2-Driver-mysql php-gd
yum install -y php-pear-Date-Holidays <-- (for now, this package is available in the EPEL repo)
yum install -y openssl mod_ssl crypto-utils perl-Net-SSLeay <--(for https secure browsing)
yum install -y php-devel gcc <--(if you want to install extra pecl modules - PS: use 'pear install pecl/modulename')
Turn off sendmail:
service sendmail stop chkconfig sendmail off system-switch-mail (select postfix)
Configure Postfix:
postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
Edit /etc/dovecot.conf and add the following to the end of the file:
# to allow the creation of mail subfolders mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir # Enable IMAP protocol protocols = imap
If using CentOS x86_64, temporary fix for this bug
login_process_size = 64
To configure the rest of postfix, such as domain name and secure connections, take a look at this nice tutorial: http://fedorasolved.org/server-solutions/postfix-mail-server
service httpd restart chkconfig httpd on service postfix restart chkconfig postfix on service dovecot restart chkconfig dovecot on service mysqld restart chkconfig mysqld on
Configure mysqld root password:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h yourhostname.yourdomain.com password 'new-password'
Get the latest stable version of Horde Groupware Webmail Edition from http://www.horde.org/download/app/?app=webmail.
Extract files and rename folder:
tar zxf horde-webmail-*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/ mv /var/www/html/horde-*/ /var/www/html/horde/
cd /var/www/html/horde/scripts/ ./setup.php
If asked, choose /horde.
Press 1; choose mysql; Persistent connection: 0; Username horde; Choose a password for mysql-user-horde; Unix sockets; Location /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock; DB name horde;
Press 2; yes; root; root-mysql-password.
Press 3; specify an existing IMAP user to have horde administration permissions (i.e. your current linux user).
Edit a text file and change the password for the same as in Step 1 above:
USE mysql;
REPLACE INTO user (host, user, password)
VALUES (
'localhost',
'horde',
-- IMPORTANT: Change this password!
PASSWORD('password_for_mysql_horde_user')
);
REPLACE INTO db (host, db, user, select_priv, insert_priv, update_priv,
delete_priv, create_priv, drop_priv, index_priv)
VALUES (
'localhost',
'horde',
'horde',
'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y',
'Y', 'Y', 'Y'
);
-- Make sure that priviliges are reloaded.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Save the file as createuser.mysql (or something else) and load it as mysql stdin:
mysql --user=root --password=mysqlrootpassword < createuser.mysql
Add a "horde.conf" file to /etc/httpd/conf.d:
#
# Horde
#
Alias /horde /var/www/html/horde
<Directory /var/www/html/horde>
# Uncomment the following 3 lines to make Horde locally accessible only
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
#Allow from 127.0.0.1
Options +FollowSymLinks
# horde.org's recommended PHP settings:
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
php_admin_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
php_flag session.use_trans_sid off
php_flag session.auto_start off
php_admin_flag file_uploads on
# Optional - required for weather block in Horde to function
php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen on
# If horde dies while trying to handle large email file attachments,
# you are probably hitting PHP's memory limit. Raise that limit here,
# but use caution
# Set to your preference - memory_limit should be at least 32M
# and be greater than the value set for post_max_size
#php_value memory_limit 32M
#php_value post_max_size 20M
#php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
# /usr/share/pear is needed for PEAR. /var/www/html/horde is needed for Horde itself
# TODO: Set an appropriate include_path, too. Might even increase speed a bit.
php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/html/horde:/var/www/html/horde/config:/usr/share/pear:/tmp"
php_admin_flag register_globals off
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/horde/config>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

# Deny access to files that are not served directly by the webserver
<DirectoryMatch "^/var/www/html/horde/(.*/)?(config|lib|locale|po|scripts|templates)/(.*)?">

# Deny access to the test.php files except from localhost
<LocationMatch "^/horde/(.*/)?test.php">

Change horde.conf permission:
chmod 0644 -v /etc/httpd/conf.d/horde.conf
Increase memory_limit option in /etc/php.ini to 32MB:
memory_limit = 32M
Restart httpd:
service httpd restart
Open the following address in your browser:
http://localhost.localdomain/horde/test.php
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/*/config
Secure 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/*/scripts
Secure test.php:
chmod a-rwx /var/www/html/horde/test.php chmod a-rwx /var/www/html/horde/*/test.php
Open the following url in your browser and log into horde with the administrator user (defined above in Option 2 when creating databases):
http://localhost.localdomain/horde
(PS: use full URL address, with host and domain name)
(PS2: Remember to check $conf['cookie']['path'] = '/horde'; in horde/config/conf.php to match the path you use to access horde on your server)
Fell free to change other options, as you like. The good thing about Horde Groupware Webmail Edition is it comes pretty much configured and ready for use!
Remember to restart httpd after you make changes:
service httpd restart
