Download & Install

http://www.zarafa.com/download-community

Distribution = Rhel 4

tar -zxvf zarafa-6.20-rhel4-i386.tar.gz

yum localinstall libvmime*.rpm libical*.rpm zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-6*.rpm

Zarafa config files

nano /etc/zarafa/server.cfg
 mysql_user = zarafa
 mysql_password = 'yourpassword'
 mysql_database = zarafa

 user_plugin        = unix
 user_plugin_config = /etc/zarafa/unix.cfg

1. I think that due to issues that arise from the unix plugin (including but not limited to) failed Outlook and Multi-Company support, we should revert back to using the db plugin.

1. Go for it, I'm sitting back and letting others pitch in for a while SN

 attachment_storage      = files
 attachment_path         = /home/e-smith/files/zarafa

+ mkdir /home/e-smith/files/zarafa

nano /etc/zarafa/unix.cfg

 min_user_uid = 5000
 min_group_gid = 5000

SME templates

httpd.conf

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

consider 'adding' a generic alias, just add a line below the other Alias

Create the Database

mysqladmin create zarafa
mysql -e "grant all privileges on zarafa.* to zarafa@localhost identified by 'yourpassword'"
mysql -e "flush privileges"

Other tasks

Change webaccess apache rights

chown -R www:www /var/www/html/webaccess/tmp

Configure Zarafa services and add links for auto start

config set zarafa-server service status enabled
config set zarafa-spooler service status enabled
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-server
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-spooler

Configure Zarafa calendar scheduling. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNEF)

config setprop smtpd tnef2mime disabled
signal-event email-update

Start Zarafa services

/etc/init.d/zarafa-server start
/etc/init.d/zarafa-spooler start

Create Zarafa public store

/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -s

Assigning an administrator

When a user is an administrator, the user will be allowed to open all Zarafa stores of any user.

List users:

/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -l

Update a user to admin status:

/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -u <username> -a 1

Usage

After implementing the .qmail fragment mail is sent to zarafa, and NOT the users ~\Maildir

Webmail

Access with browser for a local user

http://server/zarafa

Outlook

To use MS Outlook

Configure, enable and start /etc/init.d/zarafa-licensed

Install the zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz

However, appears to be an issue when the user_plugin=unix finds matching user/group names (SME design):

IMAP

To access mail in zarafa with an email client

nano /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg 
 pop3_enable     =       no
 pop3s_enable    =       no
 imap_enable     =       yes
 imap_port       =       144
 imaps_enable    =       no

config set zarafa-gateway service TCPPort 144 access private status enabled [access public/private as required]
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-gateway
/etc/init.d/zarafa-gateway start; signal-event remoteaccess-update

Configure your IMAP client to use port 144

Calendar

http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/zarafa_ical_gateway.en.pdf

To access the calendar functions with an iCal client eg, Thunderbird and Lighting

nano /etc/zarafa/ical.cfg [maybe use icals on 8443]
 ical_enable = yes
 ical_port = 8088

config set zarafa-ical service TCPPort 8088 access private status enabled [access public/private as required]
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-ical 
/etc/init.d/zarafa-ical start; signal-event remoteaccess-update

in Tbird/Lightning > New Calendar > on network > ical > http://<domain>:8088/ical/<user>/calendar/

Note, there are problems with reading events created with /webaccess http://forums.zarafa.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1019

Mobiles

To sync the data in zarafa to a compatible device

Install rpm, start service, configure

Issues

Backup

Nothing to do, data is in mysql, config files are in /etc/zarafa, attachments in /home/e-smith/files/zarafa

Store_attachment_outside_of_the_database

Early wiki instructions stored attachments in mysql, if you just edit the config file zarafa may fail to start. One way to fix is by dropping the database (this deletes your data), and recreating the database with the server.cfg setting set to files.

.qmail fragment

• mailsorting contrib sorts to Maildir folders, zarafa won't see this mail. Disable procmail/maildrop and re-create internal zarafa rules

sv sigusr1 httpd-e-smith

Eg. modifying an ibay, causes a problem with webaccess

tail /var/log/messages
<snip>
Sep 28 16:30:27 kiwi httpd: PHP Warning:  Function registration failed - duplicate name - mapi_zarafa_getuser in Unknown on line 0
Sep 28 16:30:27 kiwi httpd: PHP Warning:  Function registration failed - duplicate name - mapi_zarafa_getgroup in Unknown on line 0
Sep 28 16:30:27 kiwi httpd: PHP Warning:  mapi:  Unable to register functions, unable to load in Unknown on line 0

most of these events will cause webaccess to break

# ls -la `slocate services2adjust | grep httpd-e-smith`
/etc/e-smith/events/console-save/services2adjust/httpd-e-smith -> restart
/etc/e-smith/events/domain-create/services2adjust/httpd-e-smith -> sigusr1

/etc/e-smith/events/network-delete/services2adjust/httpd-e-smith -> sigusr1
/etc/e-smith/events/remoteaccess-update/services2adjust/httpd-e-smith -> sigusr1
/etc/e-smith/events/timezone-update/services2adjust/httpd-e-smith -> restart

workaround is to

sv restart httpd-e-smith

fix is to work out why php is giving an error

Address book

The Zarafa global address book finds users and groups from /etc/passwd etc/group

We don't want machine names, ibays, system, the group of a user, maybe others. I don't see how to hide them, changing shell to /bin/false may break things

Folder Naming

SME and Zarafa use different folder naming. To enhance migration SME folders should be renamed prior to migration.

drafts > Drafts
junkmail > Junk E-mail
sent-mail > Sent Items
trash > Deleted Items

Migrating users and data to Zarafa

Zarafa migration whitepaper describes various ways of migrating your users and your data to a Zarafa server.

http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/zarafa_migration.en.pdf

IMAP migration from SME/IMAP to Zarafa/IMAP

Configure zarafa-gateway for migration enabling IMAP on port 144 only as shown above

Get imapsync and required perl module

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-Mail-IMAPClient/perl-Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall perl-Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

wget http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/imapsync-1.264.tgz
tar -zxvf imapsync-1.264.tgz
cd ./imapsync-1.264
make install

Perform a user mail sync from SME/IMAP (host1/port1) to Zarafa/IMAP (host2/port2)

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 <username> --password1 <password> --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 <username> --password2 <password>

Example to synchronize a user named 'bob' with password 'bob123' from SME IMAP into Zarafa:

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 bob --password1 bob123 --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 bob --password2 bob123

After syncing is complete, stop zarafa-gateway service and/or edit /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg to meet your needs.

SME Actions

Actions to be linked into events

user-delete

To delete a user from the server, use the following command:

 /usr/bin/zarafa-admin -d <user name>

The user will be deleted from the database. The store of the user will be placed in the public store, in a 'Deleted Stores' folder. This folder is only available to administrative users of Zarafa.
