Postaci Webmail Installation




This document is for fresh installation only. If you are upgrading from a provious

version please refer to UPGRADE.






---




This software was developed on a Red Hat Linux system and tested with many


conditions using PostgreSQL and MySQL databases.

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!!!!

* Pay attention to the .inc extension!!!! It is a must for a secure environment.


* 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........

# Setting up MySQL rpms




rpm -i MySQL-3.22.27-1.i386.rpm

rpm -i MySQL-client-3.22.27-1.i386.rpm

rpm -i MySQL-devel-3.22.27-1.i386.rpm





# untar the packets.




tar zxvf apache_1.3.12.tar.gz

tar zxvf php-4.0.tar.gz

tar zxvf c-client.tar.gz




# setup up c-client




cd imap-4.7

make slx


yes|cp c-client/c-client.a /usr/lib/c-client.a

yes|cp c-client/c-client.a /usr/lib/libc-client.a

yes|cp src/c-client/rfc822.h /usr/include

yes|cp src/c-client/mail.h /usr/include

yes|cp c-client/linkage.h /usr/include

cd ..





# preconfigure apache for php4




cd apache_1.3.12

./configure --prefix=/home/httpd

cd ..




# configure php4




cd php-4.0

./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-mysql --with-imap --enable-track-vars


make

make install

cd ..




# compile apache




cd apache_1.3.12

./configure --prefix=/home/httpd --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a


make

make install

cd ..




# php.ini stuff

cd php-4.0

cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini


// change the line like display_errors = On to Off at this file

Running Windows Pidgin From a USB Drive




It is relatively easy to set up Pidgin to run from a USB Drive. Most of Pidgin is very good about not assuming that it is installed; a slightly customized launcher makes it all come together nicely.




The way that this is set up, other GTK+ applications can use the same GTK+ runtime.




Caveats



• Spell-checking requires 2.0.0 beta3 or newer.
• Download and Install Pidgin
• Prepare your USB Drive: (This assumes that your USB Drive is U: for the purpose of explanation)
  
  • Create a directory: U:\Programs (This can be whatever you want, the idea is that GTK and Pidgin are at the same level)
  • Create GTK and Pidgin directories in this directory.
  • Copy a minimal part of your Pidgin installation to the USB Drive from the installed instance. The directory structure stays the same, but we don't need everything that is included in the standard installation.
    
    • Copy the whole pixmaps and sounds directories.
    • Create a U:\Programs\Pidgin\plugins directory and copy the contents of the installed Pidgin\plugins directory into it excluding perl.dll, tcl.dll.
    • If you want to use a language other than en_US, create a U:\Programs\Pidgin\locale directory and copy any language directories that you want from your installed Pidgin\locale directory.
    • Copy the contents of your root installed Pidgin directory except pidgin.exe, pidgin-uninst.exe, and if you don't want spell-checking support, libgtkspell.dll.
    • Download pidgin-portable.exe (use gaim-portable.exe for 2.0.0beta4-6 or this version for versions older than 2.0.0beta4) and put it in U:\Programs\Pidgin. The file uses the same source as the standard pidgin.exe, the difference being that when it was compiled PORTABLE was defined which causes some of the initialization to be done differently.
    • In the same spirit, create a minimal GTK+ runtime installation from your GTK+ installation.
      
      • Copy the bin and etc directories to your U:\Programs\GTK directory.
      • Create a U:\Programs\GTK\lib directory and copy the contents of the installed GTK+ runtime's lib directory, except the locale subdirectory.
      • If you want to use a language other than en_US, create a U:\Programs\GTK\lib\locale directory and copy any language directories that you want from your installed GTK+ runtime's lib\locale directory.
      • If you want spell-checking support, you will also need to create a minimal ASpell runtime installation from your ASpell installation.
        
        • Create a U:\Programs\Aspell directory with a bin subdirectory.
        • Copy aspell-15.dll into your ASpell bin directory.
        • Copy the data and dict subdirectories into U:\Programs\Aspell.
        • You are done! Running U:\Programs\Pidgin\pidgin-portable.exe will cause pidgin to run off the USB Drive, saving the settings, logs and etc. to U:\Programs\.purple.

The
LunarEclipse template is a take on Andy (rhuk) Miller's original design
of the SolarFlare template. SolarFlare, with it's lightweight design
and brilliant CSS took Joomla by storm with its clean white
background and brilliant orange colors.

LunarEclipse is a tribute to this great template that is
often seen in the world of Joomla  sites as a base for easy
navigation and plenty of space to make modular websites expand.
