Install the Email server (MTA):
We need a working mail system, here we use sendmail with dovecot providing IMAP:
apt-get install sendmail
Configure domain & SMTP settings:
nano /etc/mail/local-host-names
mydomain.com
nano /etc/sendmail.mc
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomain.com)
make -C /etc/mail
/etc/init.d/sendmail reload
Install an IMAP provider:
apt-get install dovecot-imapd
Allow plaintext authentication temporarily (or configure TLS certificate?):
nano /etc/mail/...
Test a local user authentication:
telnet
a login
b select inbox
Install the web server:
apt-get install apache2
Install the database server:
There are no instructions or guides explaining how to use sqlite, so we will use postgresql since it has fewer dependencies than mysql. We need to create a user and a blank database that will be used by Horde.
apt-get install postgresql
su - postgres
psql
ALTER USER horde PASSWORD 'new-password';
CREATE horde
\q
Test the new postgresql user:
psql -U horde -W
Install Horde:
apt-get install php-horde-webmail
apt-get install php5-postgres
webmail-install
cd /etc/horde/imp
cp backends.php backends.local.php
nano backends.local.php
(remove unnecessary lines)
(change the imap 'secure' setting from 'tls' to 'no security')
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Try to log in via web interface, using a local user account:
http://server
Create an Administrator:
???
*Debian php-horde includes a script at /usr/share/php/data/horde/scripts/sql
that sets an Administrator user, but it's use is not documented.
Try to access the admin site:
http://server
aliasname: username
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
