[lug] Horde

[George Sexton]

I have done it a couple of times lately. If you are using RedHat 7.1, I have
the RPMS. I built my own RPMS using their older SPEC files and the current
versions of IMP. If you want the RPMs, let me know and I will put them on an
FTP Dir. Here is basically what I did:

1)	Install the RPMS for Horde, IMP, PHP and Postgres. You need PHP 4.05 to
work with the current version of Horde/IMP. I have the RPMS for PHP also for
RH 7.1.
2)	change to /var/www/html/horde and run sh ./install.sh
3)	If you have changed DocumentRoot on your server, add an alias for the new
directory.
4)	Start a web browser and go to http://host.name.com/horde/ and walk
through the setup script.
4a)	If you want to use postgresql make sure it's running and accepting
connections. Do a netstat --inet -a | grep postgres. If you don't see it,
you may have to modify the postgresql startup
5)	If you are using postgresql, go to the horde/scripts/database directory
and run the pgsql_createuser script
6)	If you are using postgresql, run the create database script in the same
directory.

7)	Here's something kind of undocumented, Edit the the
horde/imp/config/defaults.php3 and make sure you put the postgres port #
5432 in the config file. Search the file for password and it should be down
a few lines.
8) 	Go to the /var/www/html/horde directory and run sh ./secure.sh
9)	Make sure you have IMAP running on the server.
9a)	Run the database change password script in horde/scripts/database.
10)	using the browser, navigate to http://host.name.com/horde/imp/ and try
logging in.

Fine points:

You might want generate your own SSL certificate (or buy one) and put a

<Location /horde>
	SSLRequireSSL
</Location>

I have a Java program and script file that will parse a Netscape Address
book and insert it into Postgresql. If you want it, let me know. I'm also
going to write a program that will take a comma-delimited text file and
stuff it in using ODBC.

I'm probably going to write a shell script to grep /var/log/messages for
each user for IMP logins and Email a history to them once a week.

so.
