|
are writable by the webserver
|
- /temp
|
- /logs
|
3. Create a new database and a database user for RoundCube (see DATABASE SETUP)
|
4. Create database tables using the queries in file 'SQL/*.initial.sql'
|
(* stands for your database type)
|
5. Rename the files config/*.inc.php.dist to config/*.inc.php
|
6. Modify the files in config/* to suit your local environment

DATABASE SETUP
|
==============
|
|
* MySQL
|
-------
|
Setting up the mysql database can be done by creating an empty database,
|
importing the table layout and granting the proper permissions to the
|
roundcube user. Here is an example of that procedure:
|
|
# mysql
|
> CREATE DATABASE 'roundcubemail';
|
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO roundcube@localhost
|
IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
|
> quit
|
# mysql roundcubemail < SQL/mysql.initial.sql
|
|
For MySQL version 4.1 and up, it's recommended to create the database for
|
RoundCube with the following command:
|
> CREATE DATABASE 'roundcubemail' DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
|
|
|
* SQLite
|
--------
|
Sqlite requires specifically php5 (sqlite in php4 currently doesn't
|
work with roundcube), and you need sqlite 2 (preferably 2.8) to setup
|
the sqlite db (sqlite 3.x also doesn't work at the moment). Here is
|
an example how you can setup the sqlite.db for roundcube:
|
|
# sqlite -init SQL/sqlite.initial.sql sqlite.db
|
|
Make sure your configuration points to the sqlite.db file and that the
|
webserver can write to the file.
|
|
|
* PostgreSQL
|
------------
|
To use RoundCube with PostgreSQL support you have to follow the next
|
simple steps, which have to be done with the postgres system user (or
|
which ever is the database superuser):
|
|
$ createuser roundcubemail
|
$ createdb -O roundcubemail roundcubemail
|
$ psql roundcubemail
|
|
roundcubemail =# ALTER USER roundcube WITH PASSWORD 'the_new_password';
|
roundcubemail =# \c - roundcubemail
|
roundcubemail => \i SQL/postgres.initial.sql
|
|
All this has been tested with PostgreSQL 8.0.x and 7.4.x. Older
|
versions don't have a -O option for the createdb, so if you are
|
using that version you'll have to change ownership of the DB later.
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
=============
|
|
Change the files in config/* according your to environment and your needs.
|
Details about the config paramaters can be found in the config files.
|
|
|
UPGRADING
|
=========
|
If you already have a previous version of RoundCube installed,
|
please refer to the instructions in UPGRADING guide.
