Linux server how to achieve mail server openwebmail installation, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain in detail for you, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

Install openwebmail

Openwebmail provides a visual mail management system, which runs in the Apache environment.

1. Install the necessary software

[root@localhost ~] # yum install-y perl-TextIconv perl-CGI perl-CPAN perl-suidper perl-YAML

2. Download openwebmail on the official website (http://openwebmail.org/openwebmail/download/release/) and decompress it

[root@localhost] # tar-xvf openwebmail-2-53.tar

3. After decompressing, you get two directories "cgi-bin" and "data", and both directories will contain a "openwebmail" directory. Where cgi-bin is the program to be executed and data is the data part. So what we need to change later is concentrated on the openwebmail under the cgi-bin directory.

1) move the openwebmail under cgi-bin to the default directory of web page cgi

[root@localhost ~] # mv cgi-bin/openwebmail / var/www/cgi-bin/

2) copy data to "/ var/www"

[root@localhost] # cp-r data/ / var/www/

3) move the openwebmail under data to "/ var/www/html/"

[root@localhost ~] # mv data/openwebmail / var/www/html/

4. Modify the openwebmail permission under cgi-bin

[root@localhost] # chmod-R 777 / var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/

5. Modify the permissions of suidperl

[root@localhost ~] # chmod 4555 / usr/bin/suidperl

6. Modify the configuration file openwebmail.conf and change the parameters ow_cgidir and ow_htmldir, one of which is the default directory of the web page and the other is the default directory of the data.

[root@localhost openwebmail] # gedit etc/openwebmail.conf

Domainnames auto

Auth_module auth_unix.pl

Mailspooldir / var/mail

Ow_cgidir / var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail / / Web program path

Ow_cgiurl / cgi-bin/openwebmail

Ow_htmldir / var/www/data/openwebmail / / Web page data path

Ow_htmlurl / openwebmail

Logfile / var/log/openwebmail.log

7. Modify the authentication file, which needs to be copied from the defaults directory, and then modify the two parameters "passwdfile_enctypted" and "passwdmkdb"

[root@localhost openwebmail] # cp etc/defaults/auth_unix.conf etc/

[root@localhost openwebmail] # gedit etc/auth_unix.conf

Passwdfile_encrypted/etc/shadow

Passwdmkdb none

8. Modify the dbm file, first copy it from the defaults directory, and then change the parameters "dbmopen_ext" and "dbmopen_haslock"

[root@localhost openwebmail] # cp etc/defaults/dbm.conf etc/

Dbm_ext .pag

Dbmopen_ext none

Dbmopen_haslock no

9. Initialize the openwebmail service

[root@localhost openwebmail] #. / openwebmail-tool.pl-init

Creating db / var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/maps/b2g... done.

... done.
