| 4e17e6 | 31 | INSTALLATION |
| T | 32 | ============ |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | 1. Decompress and put this folder somewhere inside your document root | |
| 10a699 | 35 | 2. Make sure that the following directories (and the files within) |
| T | 36 | are writable by the webserver |
| 4e17e6 | 37 | - /temp |
| T | 38 | - /logs |
| 10a699 | 39 | 3. Create a new database and a database user for RoundCube (see DATABASE SETUP) |
| 967b34 | 40 | 4. Point your browser to http://url-to-roundcube/installer/ |
| 190e97 | 41 | 5. Follow the instructions of the install script (or see MANUAL CONFINGURATION) |
| T | 42 | 6. After creating and testing the configuration, remove the installer directory |
| 42b113 | 43 | 7. Done! |
| T | 44 | |

| 10a699 | 46 | DATABASE SETUP |
| T | 47 | ============== |
| 48 | ||
| fa898a | 49 | * MySQL |
| T | 50 | ------- |
| 10a699 | 51 | Setting up the mysql database can be done by creating an empty database, |
| T | 52 | importing the table layout and granting the proper permissions to the |
| 53 | roundcube user. Here is an example of that procedure: | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | # mysql | |
| f7bfec | 56 | > CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail; |
| 10a699 | 57 | > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO roundcube@localhost |
| 6ae6e4 | 58 | IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; |
| 10a699 | 59 | > quit |
| fa898a | 60 | |
| 10a699 | 61 | # mysql roundcubemail < SQL/mysql.initial.sql |
| 535da2 | 62 | |
| fa898a | 63 | Note 1: 'password' is the master password for the roundcube user. It is strongly |
| 3cf664 | 64 | recommended you replace this with a more secure password. Please keep in |
| T | 65 | mind: You need to specify this password later in 'config/db.inc.php'. |
| 66 | ||
| fa898a | 67 | Note 2: For MySQL version 4.1 and up, it's recommended to create the database for |
| T | 68 | RoundCube with utf-8 charset. |
| 69 | ||
| 1cded8 | 70 | |
| 10a699 | 71 | * SQLite |
| T | 72 | -------- |
| 73 | Sqlite requires specifically php5 (sqlite in php4 currently doesn't | |
| 74 | work with roundcube), and you need sqlite 2 (preferably 2.8) to setup | |
| 75 | the sqlite db (sqlite 3.x also doesn't work at the moment). Here is | |
| 76 | an example how you can setup the sqlite.db for roundcube: | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | # sqlite -init SQL/sqlite.initial.sql sqlite.db | |
| 79 | ||
| 80 | Make sure your configuration points to the sqlite.db file and that the | |
| 83ce4b | 81 | webserver can write to the file and the directory containing the file. |
| 10a699 | 82 | |
| T | 83 | |
| 1cded8 | 84 | * PostgreSQL |
| T | 85 | ------------ |
| a89845 | 86 | To use RoundCube with PostgreSQL support you have to follow these |
| T | 87 | simple steps, which have to be done as the postgres system user (or |
| 1cded8 | 88 | which ever is the database superuser): |
| T | 89 | |
| a89845 | 90 | $ createuser roundcube |
| T | 91 | $ createdb -O roundcube roundcubemail |
| 1cded8 | 92 | $ psql roundcubemail |
| T | 93 | |
| 94 | roundcubemail =# ALTER USER roundcube WITH PASSWORD 'the_new_password'; | |
| a89845 | 95 | roundcubemail =# \c - roundcube |
| 1cded8 | 96 | roundcubemail => \i SQL/postgres.initial.sql |
| T | 97 | |
| a89845 | 98 | All this has been tested with PostgreSQL 8.x and 7.4.x. Older |
| 1cded8 | 99 | versions don't have a -O option for the createdb, so if you are |
| T | 100 | using that version you'll have to change ownership of the DB later. |
| 101 | ||
| 102 | ||
| 190e97 | 103 | MANUAL CONFIGURATION |
| T | 104 | ==================== |
| 535da2 | 105 | |
| a89845 | 106 | First of all, rename the files config/*.inc.php.dist to config/*.inc.php. |
| T | 107 | You can then change these files according to your environment and your needs. |
| 108 | Details about the config parameters can be found in the config files. | |
| 190e97 | 109 | See http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Install for even more guidance. |
| 535da2 | 110 | |
| 4b9efb | 111 | You can also modify the default .htaccess file. This is necessary to |
| S | 112 | increase the allowed size of file attachments, for example: |
| 113 | php_value upload_max_filesize 2M | |

| 42b113 | 119 | If you already have a previous version of RoundCube installed, |
| T | 120 | please refer to the instructions in UPGRADING guide. |
