The following must be working before installing roundcubemail
- mysql (mariadb)
# urpmi mysql # systemctl start mysqld # mysql_secure_installation
- https (apache-mod_ssl)
- dovecot (for imap access) The user chosen for use with roundcubemail must be a real linux user (not a made up name just for roundcubemail as in older version of our testing). The user must have the correct directories and files in ~/mail with the correct permissions. In my case I used 'rcmail' as the userid, ...
[drwx------ rcmail rcmail ] /home/rcmail/mail/.imap/INBOX [-rw------- rcmail mail ] /home/rcmail/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache [-rw------- rcmail mail ] /home/rcmail/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log
I created the files with the touch command, and then changed the group and permissions.
After installing roundcubemail
Create a DB user & database for roundcubemail (according to http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Install):
# mysql -u <user> -p CREATE USER <e.g. roundcube> IDENTIFIED BY <e.g. 'pass'>; CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO <username>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY <'password'>; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;
or
Use phpmyadmin to create the rcmail user and the database.
After installation of roundcubemail, the contents of
/usr/share/doc/roundcubemail/SQL/sqlite.initial.sql must be run.
I did this with phpmyadmin by loading it into an editor, then copy/pasting it into phpmyadmin, to run.
Don't forget to restart httpd after installing any php packages such as roundcubemail.
After that I was able to log in to https://localhost/roundcubemail/ (after adding an exception for the certificate), and read/compose and send email.
Previously ? redundant ?
You will need to adjust the file /etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php :
The username (e.g. roundcube) and password (e.g. pass) from the mysql database
$config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:pass@localhost/roundcubemail';
I added the imap-server for my mail account:
$config['default_host'] = 'imap.your-mail-provider.com';
I added my smtp data for my mail account:
$config['smtp_server'] = 'smtp.your-mail-provider.com';
Then you can go in your webbrowser to http://localhost/roundcubemail/installer
On step 3 you need to initiate your database.
After that you can go to http://localhost/roundcubemail and log into you mail account.
