Installation

Horde Groupware requires some prerequisite software before you can use it. In addition, there are other software packages which, while
not required, are recommended as without them you will experience very limited functionality. The following helps you to
install the required and recommended software packages on a Debian Etch (4.0) System.

*There is also a Horde 'Groupware Webmail Edition' this will not be the part of this how to*
*This how to will not cover your mailserver setup.*

*Note: this how to is just a draft and not really perfect - feel free to edit it and make it better*


Debian specific

I started with a new and fresh Debian(openvz-image)
You should update your system.


apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade


Install Apache and php and modules



apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork


You need the cli for the horde setup script!


apt-get install php5-cli


These php modules are needed for horde Groupware


apt-get install php-pear php5-gd php5-ldap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache 


For webmail you need the imap extension


apt-get install php5-imap


If you want to use mysql as Database backend, you should install the php5-mysql extension


apt-get install php5-mysql


If you want to you postgresql as Database backend install php5-pgsql

apt-get install php5-pgsql


Install Database

For Mysql


apt-get install mysql-server


You will be asked for a mysqlroot password - don't forget it ;)
After that you need to create a user and create grants.


mysql -p -e 'CREATE USER HORDE ...'




mysql -p -e 'grant all on horde.* to horde@localhost identified by "horde";'


Install Horde Groupware

Download and unpack it


wget [tarball]
cd /root
tar -xvf horde-webmail-1.0.1.tar.gz

copy to /var/www and change owner


cp -r /root/horde-webmail-1.0.1 /var/www/horde
chown -r www-data:www-data horde


with php5-cli start the setup script
