| | | |
| | | CONFIGURATION HINTS |
| | | =================== |
| | | |
| | | Roundcube writes internal errors to the 'errors' log file located in the logs |
| | | directory which can be configured in config/config.inc.php. If you want ordinary |
| | | PHP errors to be logged there as well, enable the 'php_value error_log' line |
| | | in the .htaccess file and set the path to the log file accordingly. |
| | | |
| | | By default the session_path settings of PHP are not modified by Roundcube. |
| | | However if you want to limit the session cookies to the directory where |
| | | Roundcube resides you can uncomment and configure the according line |
| | | in the .htaccess file. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | DATABASE SETUP |
| | | ============== |
| | | |
| | | Note: Database for Roundcube must use UTF-8 character set. |
| | | |
| | | * MySQL |
| | | ------- |
| | |
| | | recommended you replace this with a more secure password. Please keep in |
| | | mind: You need to specify this password later in 'config/db.inc.php'. |
| | | |
| | | Note 2: For MySQL version 4.1 and up, it's recommended to create the database for |
| | | RoundCube with utf-8 charset. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | * 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 |
| | | Versions of sqlite database engine older than 3 aren't supported. |
| | | Database file and structure is created automatically by Roundcube. |
| | | Make sure your configuration points to some file location and that the |
| | | webserver can write to the file and the directory containing the file. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | * PostgreSQL |
| | | ------------ |
| | | To use RoundCube with PostgreSQL support you have to follow these |
| | | To use Roundcube with PostgreSQL support you have to follow these |
| | | simple steps, which have to be done as the postgres system user (or |
| | | which ever is the database superuser): |
| | | |
| | | $ createuser roundcube |
| | | $ createuser -P roundcube |
| | | $ createdb -O roundcube -E UNICODE roundcubemail |
| | | $ psql roundcubemail |
| | | $ psql -U roundcube -f SQL/postgres.initial.sql roundcubemail |
| | | |
| | | roundcubemail =# ALTER USER roundcube WITH PASSWORD 'the_new_password'; |
| | | roundcubemail =# \c - roundcube |
| | | roundcubemail => \i SQL/postgres.initial.sql |
| | | Note: in some system configurations you might need to add '-U postgres' to |
| | | createuser and createdb commands. |
| | | |
| | | All this has been tested with PostgreSQL 8.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. |
| | | |
| | | * Microsoft SQL Server |
| | | ---------------------- |
| | | Language/locale of the database must be set to us_english (1033). More info |
| | | on this at http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1488918. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | Database cleaning |
| | | ----------------- |
| | | To keep your database slick and clean we recommend to periodically execute |
| | | bin/cleandb.sh which finally removes all records that are marked as deleted. |
| | | Best solution is to install a cronjob running this script daily. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | MANUAL CONFIGURATION |
| | | ==================== |
| | | |
| | | First of all, rename the files config/*.inc.php.dist to config/*.inc.php. |
| | | You can then change these files according to your environment and your needs. |
| | | Details about the config parameters can be found in the config files. |
| | | See http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Install for even more guidance. |
| | | First of all, copy the sample configuration file config/config.inc.php.sample |
| | | to config/config.inc.php and make the necessary adjustments according to your |
| | | environment and your needs. More configuration options can be copied from the |
| | | config/defaults.inc.php file into your local config.inc.php file as needed. |
| | | Read the comments above the individual configuration options to find out what |
| | | they do or read http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Install for even more |
| | | guidance. |
| | | |
| | | You can also modify the default .htaccess file. This is necessary to |
| | | increase the allowed size of file attachments, for example: |

| | | UPGRADING |
| | | ========= |
| | | |
| | | If you already have a previous version of RoundCube installed, |
| | | If you already have a previous version of Roundcube installed, |
| | | please refer to the instructions in UPGRADING guide. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | OPTIMISING |
| | | ========== |
| | | |
| | | There are two forms of optimisation here, compression and caching, both aimed |
| | | at increasing an end user's experience using Roundcube Webmail. Compression |
| | | allows the static web pages to be delivered with less bandwidth. The index.php |
| | | of Roundcube Webmail already enables compression on its output. The settings |
| | | below allow compression to occur for all static files. Caching sets HTTP |
| | | response headers that enable a user's web client to understand what is static |
| | | and how to cache it. |
| | | |
| | | The caching directives used are: |
| | | * Etags - sets at tag so the client can request is the page has changed |
| | | * Cache-control - defines the age of the page and that the page is 'public' |
| | | This enables clients to cache javascript files that don't have private |
| | | information between sessions even if using HTTPS. It also allows proxies |
| | | to share the same cached page between users. |
| | | * Expires - provides another hint to increase the lifetime of static pages. |
| | | |
| | | For more information refer to RFC 2616. |
| | | |
| | | Side effects: |
| | | ------------- |
| | | These directives are designed for production use. If you are using this in |
| | | a development environment you may get horribly confused if your webclient |
| | | is caching stuff that you changed on the server. Disabling the expires |
| | | parts below should save you some grief. |
| | | |
| | | If you are changing the skins, it is recommended that you copy content to |
| | | a different directory apart from 'default'. |
| | | |
| | | Apache: |
| | | ------- |
| | | To enable these features in apache the following modules need to be enabled: |
| | | * mod_deflate |
| | | * mod_expires |
| | | * mod_headers |
| | | |
| | | The optimisation is already included in the .htaccess file in the top |
| | | directory of your installation. |
| | | |
| | | If you are using Apache version 2.2.9 and later, in the .htaccess file |
| | | change the 'append' word to 'merge' for a more correct response. Keeping |
| | | as 'append' shouldn't cause any problems though changing to merge will |
| | | eliminate the possibility of duplicate 'public' headers in Cache-control. |
| | | |
| | | Lighttpd: |
| | | --------- |
| | | With Lightty the addition of Expire: tags by mod_expire is incompatible with |
| | | the addition of "Cache-control: public". Using Cache-control 'public' is |
| | | used below as it is assumed to give a better caching result. |
| | | |
| | | Enable modules in server.modules: |
| | | "mod_setenv" |
| | | "mod_compress" |
| | | |
| | | Mod_compress is a server side cache of compressed files to improve its performance. |
| | | |
| | | $HTTP["host"] == "www.example.com" { |
| | | |
| | | static-file.etags = "enable" |
| | | # http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Etag.use-mtimeDetails |
| | | etag.use-mtime = "enable" |
| | | |
| | | # http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs:ModSetEnv |
| | | $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/roundcubemail/(plugins|skins|program)" { |
| | | setenv.add-response-header = ( "Cache-Control" => "public, max-age=2592000") |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | # http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs:ModCompress |
| | | # set compress.cache-dir to somewhere outside the docroot. |
| | | compress.cache-dir = var.statedir + "/cache/compress" |
| | | |
| | | compress.filetype = ("text/plain", "text/html", "text/javascript", "text/css", "text/xml", "image/gif", "image/png") |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | KNOWN ISSUES |
| | | ============ |
| | | |
| | | Installations with uw-imap server should set imap_disabled_caps = array('ESEARCH') |
| | | in main configuration file. ESEARCH implementation in this server is broken (#1489184). |
