This README contains additional information specific to the openSUSE package of roundcube. INSTALLATION ============ This application is packaged to integrate with Apache and MySQL but it can basically run with every webserver being able to run PHP and also use other SQL based database engines. After installation of the package the application will immediately be reachable from everywhere once Apache is enabled under the URL http://IP-ADDRESS/roundcubemail The configuration is copied from the example config files from the package and therefore not really working. First step is to prepare the MySQL database for Roundcube: Setting up the mysql database can be done by creating an empty database, importing the table layout and granting the proper permissions to the roundcube user. Here is an example of that procedure: # mysql > CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail /*!40101 CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci */; > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO 'roundcube'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; > FLUSH PRIVILEGES; > quit # mysql roundcubemail < /usr/share/doc/packages/roundcubemail/SQL/mysql.initial.sql Note 1: 'password' is the master password for the roundcube user. It is strongly recommended you replace this with a more secure password. Please keep in mind: You need to specify this password later in '/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php'. To use the integrated web based installer you need to enable it first in /etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php: $rcmail_config['enable_installer'] = true; IMPORTANT: This MUST be disabled again after installation is finished for SECURITY reasons and then access http://IP-ADDRESS/roundcubemail/installer to finish the installation.
