=== Zarafa7 on SME8 ===
 +
If you want to test the new Zarafa 7 version on SME8b6: install as described [[Zarafa | here]], download the needed files from [[bugzilla:5789]] => Comment#5 and extract as described, make the following symbolic links and restart apache:
 +
ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
 +
ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

I uninstalled my original Zarafa setup and re-installed using the smeserver RPM Darrell created - all worked fine. I also migrated some email that I'd created in the test accounts for that purpose. This also went well. I happened to have one account in Thunderbird - the test email in the Inbox showed unread when I went into the account. However, the other account, accessed via the Zarafa web interface, showed the Inbox message as read.

Darrell, I have installed Zarafa manually using custom-templates/db settings and have most everything working flawlessly including the Outlook plugin, and z-push to a WM6 device and I am EXTREMELY impressed.  I have a desktop, laptop and my Samsung i760 in perfect sync.  The z-push actually "pushes" and emails, calendar, contact changes happen almost instantaneously.
 
  
−
I have a couple of pointers if you are still working on this project.
 
  
−
I notice you use the "db" setting for your users.  I found the unix plugin a superb tool.  It automatically adds all system users and keeps them in sync including password changes and user additions/deletions.  It works on the fly.  The only drawback is the fact SME uses weird user/group numbering so you have to include users from 5000 up and then exclude all groups by configuring uniz.cfg to a high range like 10001-10001.  I also did not include admin as one of the users due to the limitations on how the unix plugin handles users/groups.

2- You can sort junk email to zarafa and have it automatically placed in the Junk E-mail folder. This works in the .qmail-junkmail template. Note the -qj switch. This tells zarafa-dagent to place the email in the Junk E-mail folder.

Some other notes:

−
I totally disabled horde (no big loss there) and pop and imap and my implementation either uses horde OR zarafa but not both.  I run zarafa on the standard ports and transitioned 15 users last night.  Some using Outlook (pop) and they didn't notice anything.  A few use webmail and I left the alias alone and those users all logged in this morning to a big surprise and they were all extremely happy.
 
  
−
For this to work, you need to configure zarafa to use the certs already generated in SME.  Hope this helps.

On restart of the daemon, I was successfully able to connect.

Zarafa7 on SME8

If you want to test the new Zarafa 7 version on SME8b6: install as described here, download the needed files from bugzilla:5789 => Comment#5 and extract as described, make the following symbolic links and restart apache: 

ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

If you are upgrading from version 6 you will also need these dependencies: 

MySQL-python - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/MySQL-python-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm

yum localinstall smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-53.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-install

expand the php-mapi patch patch and and the symbolic links (see first text block above: Zarafa7 on SME8).

If you use webaccess mobile, change 86ZarafaAlias template bugzilla:6552

If you use z-push, download and install (see here mobile synchronization). You have to change the name of the installation folder from z-push<version #> to z-push, because this is expected by the smeserver-zarafa package. The download extracts correctly but leaves the file and group ownership to some unknown user 33. I changed that (might not be necessary, I consider it a small security risk). 

chown -R root:root /var/www/html/z-push

A python script is provided to do just that. See also [zarafa administration manual]! Stop running zarafa services, make sure a backup of the zarafa mysql database exists, install MySQL-python, run update script.
