    2. Step by step Installation.
    
    Below, is an example for PHP + IMAP + Apache installation. If you want to use another database
    
    that Postaci supports, refer to your preferred databases' s documentation. If you need more assistance
    
    on installing PHP + Apache + c-client please see section 3.

    
    

    * Set up MySQL. (http://www.mysql.org)

    
    
    

    * Setup c-client to server.
    
    (http://www.postaciwebmail/downloads/c-client.tar.gz)

    
    

    * Setup Aspell (If you plan to use the spell check feature)
    
    (http://aspell.sourceforge.net/)

    
    

    * Setup PHP and apache. (PHP3 WON' T WORK...!!!) (http://www.php.net)

    
    

    * make sure the following lines exist in your httpd.conf file and uncommented.

    
    

    * IMPORTANT!!!!

    * IMPORTANT!!!!

    
    

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .inc
    
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

    
    

    * Create a database for postaci. This can be done with the command "mysqladmin create postaci"

    
    

    * make sure the database name is the same at includes/global.inc file.

    
    

    * Create a temp folder for sending attachments. All the permissions should be the user nobody' This is the user which apacheruns as. use the following commands...

    
    

    mkdir /tmp/postaci/
    
    
    mkdir /tmp/postaci/send/
    
    mkdir /tmp/postaci/store
    
    chown nobody.nobody -R /tmp/postaci
    
    chmod 770 -R /tmp/postaci

    
    

    * make sure the directory is correctly specified at the includes/global.inc file.

    
    

    * run the following command and create the necessary tables in the DB.

    
    

    cd queries
    
    
    mysql postaci < postaci-mysql-1.1.sql

    
    

    * insert the domains you like to the tblDomains.sql file in queries folder. The syntax is as follows.

    
    

    INSERT INTO tblDomains VALUES (1,'trlinux.com');
    
    INSERT INTO tblDomains VALUES (2,'test.com');

    
    

    * Insert the data for Domains to the DB with the following command.

    
    

    mysql postaci < tblDomains.sql

    
    
    

    * Create a Database USER.

    
    

    $ mysql postaci
    
    mysql > grant usage on postaci.* to dbuser@localhost;
    
    mysql > grant select,insert,delete,update on postaci.* to dbuser@localhost;
    
    mysql > exit;
    
    
    $ mysqladmin -u dbuser password "new password"

    
    

    * make sure the password is the same as "new password" in the includes/global.inc file.

    
    

    * put your postaci files to a reachable directory and point your browser to that URL.

    
    

    * thats all........
