RoundCube Webmail With PostgreSQL, Mcrypt, Authentication Fixes

I installed roundcube wemail and found that I had to add a lot of functionality and fixes along the way. Here's the terse step-by-step and my notes:


Loosely based on this.


# get roundcube

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/web

(cd /usr/share/web ; sudo tar xfz ~/Downloads/roundcubemail-0.8.2.tar.gz )

sudo ln -s /usr/share/web/roundcubemail-0.8.2 /usr/share/web/roundcubemail


# create postgres roundcube user, roundcubemail db

sudo createuser -U _postgres -P roundcube

sudo createdb -U _postgres -O roundcube -E UNICODE -W roundcubemail


# Don't do this! -- the installer will take care of this

# sudo psql -q -d roundcubemail roundcube --password

# \c – roundcube

# \i SQL/postgres.initial.sql

# \q


sudo mkdir sudo vi /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/domainnam

sudo vi /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/domainname/roundcubemail.conf


Alias /webmail "/usr/share/web/roundcubemail"

<Directory "/usr/share/web/roundcubemail">

DirectoryIndex index.php

</Directory>


sudo vi /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf


Include /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/domainname/*.conf


(at the end)

cd /usr/share/web/roundcubemail

sudo patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/changeset_d13f3293eaacd1263f620971d9304dbf2786a0dc.diff


cd /usr/share/web/roundcubemail/config

sudo chmod go-r db.inc.php main.inc.php

sudo chown www:www db.inc.php main.inc.php


sudo vi main.inc.php


$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://server.domainname.com';

$rcmail_config['default_port'] = 993;

$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = 'CRAM-MD5';

$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'tls://smtp.domainname.com';

$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 587;


# Logs always show a FAIL on DIGEST-MD5 authentication:


Nov 2 20:33:44 domainname.com log[249]: auth: Error: od(username,10.0.1.3): authentication failed for user=username, method=DIGEST-MD5


So I just turned off DIGEST-MD5 authentication in serveradmin and it worked.


sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:imap_auth_digest_md5 = no


# Provide link to web mail on Server main page


cd /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default

sudo cp default.html.en default.html.en.orig

sudo vi default.html.en


<a href="/webmail" title="Mail">Mail</a> |

<a href="/webcal" title="Calendar">Calendar</a> |


# Clean up


cd /usr/share/web/roundcubemail

sudo chmod go-rwx ./install

Thanks to this comment, here's a fix that allows the use of CRAM-MD5 authentication (not subscript, not hyphen in CRAM_MD5):


cd /usr/share/web/roundcubemail/config


sudo vi main.inc.php


$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = 'CRAM_MD5';


And if you turned this off as above, use serveradmin to turn it back on:


sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:imap_auth_digest_md5 = yes
