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

=== Installation ===
  
====Address book====
+
To make things a bit more easy for non Zarafa experts, I used this procedure for a clean install.
The Zarafa global address book finds users and groups from /etc/passwd etc/group
+
Get zcp 7.01, unpack, remove the devel packages and install all rpm's:
 +
yum localinstall *.rpm
 +
All packages have dependencies that cannot be resolved if you install only part of the rpm's (as suggested installation instruction for zcp 6.40).
  
We don't want machine names, ibays, system, the group of a user, maybe others.  
+
Then install smeserver-zarafa. I could not retrieve this file from the smevdev repository (sme8 uses another one?).  
I don't see how to hide them, changing shell to /bin/false may break things
+
Get it manually and install:
 +
wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/releases/7/smedev/i386/RPMS/smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-53.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
 +
yum localinstall smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-53.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
  
====Questions====
+
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-install
  
Darrell, why port 144? Is there a reason, when this is in full production, that the regular IMAP/IMAPS ports cannot be used?
+
expand the php-mapi patch patch and and the symbolic links (see first text block above: Zarafa7 on SME8).
  
===Feedback===
+
If you use webaccess mobile, change 86ZarafaAlias template [[bugzilla:6552]]
  
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.
+
If you use z-push, download and install (see [[Zarafa | 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
  
Overall, the smeserver alpha RPM works well. Many thanks for it, Darrell.
+
Then post-upgrade and restart.  
  
=== Bugs ===
+
For upgrades (tested with 6.40.2): zarafa-server does not start, there is an  error message in the /var/log/zarafa/zarafa-server.log file which tells you to update the database first. A python script is provided to do just that. See also [[http://doc.zarafa.com/7.0/Administrator_Manual/en-US/html/upgrading.html zarafa administration manual]]!
Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section in {{BugzillaFileBug|product=|component=|title=bugzilla}}and select the smeserver-zarafa component or use {{BugzillaFileBug|product=SME%20Contribs|component=smeserver-zarafa|title=this link}}.
+
Stop running zarafa services, make sure a backup of the zarafa mysql database exists, install MySQL-python, run update script.

yum install MySQL-python

SME 8 beta

php 5.2.10

The php mapi files zarafa uses are compiled against 5.1.6, if sme 8 uses 5.2.10 we have a problem

here is one workaround http://forums.zarafa.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3263&p=18753#p18753
