NOTE: This HowTo assumes you are using a RedHat or Fedora based distro, but most of this info can be applied to any Unix based Operating System.

Change Ownership & Premissions

cd roundbube/

Database Setup

(This Assumes you already have MySQL installed)


  • Creating the RoundCube Database

mysql -u root -p (When prompted for a password enter the root password)

mysql> CREATE DATABASE `roundcube` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;


  • Create RoundCube User and Grant Privileges

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcube.* TO roundcube@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Your-Password-Here';
(where 'Your-Password-Here' is the password you want for the roundcube user)


  • Exit MySQL

mysql> quit


  • Import RoundCube Database Tables

mysql -u root -p roundcube < /var/www/roundcube/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
(When prompted for a password enter the root password)


Initial Configuration

  • Copy the sample configuration file

cd config/ cp db.inc.php.dist db.inc.php cp main.inc.php.dist main.inc.php


  • Configure Database Settings

vi db.inc.php

change this line: $rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:pass@localhost/roundcubemail';

to

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:Your-Password-Here@localhost/roundcube';

Note: I created the database as 'roundcube' but the sample database config calls it 'roundcubemail' change it where necessary


  • Configure Main Settings

(NOTE: these are the settings I use, they may differ depending on your particular mail server configuration)

vi main.inc.php

$rcmail_config['enable_caching'] = FALSE;
$rcmail_config['message_cache_lifetime'] = '1h';
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://localhost:993';
$rcmail_config['default_port'] = 993;
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = 'mailbox';
$rcmail_config['virtuser_query'] = 'SELECT username FROM mailbox WHERE username = "%u"';
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
$rcmail_config['smtp_auth_type'] = 'PLAIN';

  • Optional

$rcmail_config['pagesize'] = 100;
$rcmail_config['timezone'] = 4;


Apache Configuration

(For more info on Apache go here)

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/roundcube.mydomain.conf

Make sure all your database settings are correct. (Database Name, Database Username, Password, SELECT Statements, Etc...)
