Framework

PHP Tweaks

Make sure PHP has the following USE flags, especially ssl... 

dev-lang/php apache2 cgi ctype curl ftp gd hash imap ldap mysql nls pcre pdo session simplexml ssl unicode xml

Reinstall PHP 

emerge -q dev-lang/php

Install PEAR

echo "dev-php/pear ~amd64" >>/etc/portage.package.keywords
echo "dev-php/PEAR-PEAR ~amd64" >>/etc/portage.package.keywords
emerge pear
nano /usr/bin/pear   (change to -d memory_limit=128M)

Check PEAR Version

pear -V

PEAR Version: 1.9.4
PHP Version: 5.4.4--pl0-gentoo
Zend Engine Version: 2.4.0
Running on: Linux vmware-gentoo-server 3.3.8-gentoo #6 SMP Mon Feb 11 17:20:35 GMT 2013 x86_64

Upgrade PEAR Internally

pear upgrade

Install Horde Framework

pear channel-discover pear.horde.org
pear install horde/horde_role
pear run-scripts horde/horde_role
Filesystem location for the base Horde application : /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/
pear install -a -B horde/horde

Make Configuration Files And Tweak Web Server Permissions

cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/config/
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done
nano conf.php   (change $conf['testdisable'] = false;)
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/config/

Testing

Load the Horde test page... 

http://192.168.0.x/horde/test.php

The, load the actual Horde main page... 

http://192.168.0.x/horde/

Configuration

Configure Horde...

Click on the COG > Administration > Configuration > Horde (horde) 5.0.4

Set up MYSQL backend... 

$ mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE horde;
GRANT ALL ON horde.* TO horde@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'horde';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Download 'horde_create_mysql.sql' file and import it into MySQL... 

wget https://raw.github.com/wrobel/horde-fw3/master/scripts/sql/create.mysql.sql
mysql -u root -p horde < horde_create_mysql.sql

Set up Database... 

Configuration > Database

$conf[sql][phptype] MySQL / PDO
$conf[sql][username] horde
$conf[sql][password] horde
$conf[sql][protocol] TCP/IP
$conf[sql][hostspec] localhost
$conf[sql][port] 3306
$conf[sql][database] horde

Set up Authentication...

In this example we are authenticating with IMAP... 

$conf[auth][admins] Administrator, userjoesmith
$conf[auth][driver] IMAP
$conf[auth][params][hostspec] localhost
$conf[auth][params][port] 143
$conf[auth][params][secure] none

Click the big black Generate Horde Configuration button!

Then update the Database Schemas in all cases... 

Configuration > Update All DB Schemas

IMP Email

Prerequisites

Add SSL and TLS to the Dovecot IMAP server software... 

echo "net-mail/dovecot ssl" >>/etc/portage/package.use
emerge -1q dovecot
nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart

Installation

pear install -a -B horde/imp

Configuration

Create the config files... 

cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done

Fix the directory permissions... 

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/
chmod g+w /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/

Edit the email servers... 

cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/
cp -av backends.php backends.local.php
nano backends.local.php

<?php
$servers['imap'] = array(
   // ENABLED by default
   'disabled' => false,
   'name' => 'IMAP Server',
   'hostspec' => 'localhost',
   'hordeauth' => 'false',
   'protocol' => 'imap',
   'port' => 143,
   // Plaintext logins are disabled by default on IMAP servers (see RFC 3501
   // [6.2.3]), so TLS is the only guaranteed authentication available by
   // default.
   'secure' => 'tls',
   'maildomain' => ,
   'smtp' => array(
       'auth' => true,
       'localhost' => 'localhost',
       'host' => 'localhost',
       'password' => null,
       'port' => 25,
       'username' => null
   ),
   'cache' => false,
);

Permissions

You have to allow users to use IMP. 

Administraion > Permissions > + Add New Permission > Mail (imp)
> All Authenticated Users > Show | Read | Edit Delete

Change Horde Authentication

Now change Horde so that it authenticates using another Horde service, otherwise you will have to log in twice. 

Administration > Configuration > Horde > Authentication
> $conf[auth][driver] > Let a Horde Application handle authentication > imp

Logout and log back in again.

Viewing Mail

Now click on the new Mail link at the top of the screen next to the cog :)

Kronolith Calendar + Nag Tasks

Installation

pear install -a -B horde/kronolith

Configuration

Create the config files... 

cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/kronolith/config/
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done
cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/nag/config/
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done

Fix the directory permissions... 

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/kronolith/config/
chmod g+w /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/kronolith/config/
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/nag/config/
chmod g+w /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/nag/config/

Error: A Fatal Error Has Occurred:

Error... 

HORDE: Class Horde_Compress_Fast does not exist [pid 1571 on line 60 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Injector/Binder/Implementation.php"]

Fix... 

pear install -a -B horde/Horde_Compress_Fast
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

UPDATE: October 2012: Horde + PHP 5.3.x

If you upgrade to PHP 5.3 from PHP 5.2, Horde will not work.

Don’t be tricked by these errors in log: 

[error] [client ....] PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /usr/share/psa-pear/PEAR.php

the errors can be disabled in /usr/share/psa-horde/config/conf.php

If you get white page [500 error] after login on horde you can try this:

Edit files: 

/usr/share/psa-horde/imp/lib/IMAP/Client.php line 576
modify     function namespace($additional = array())
with       function plnamespace($additional = array())
/usr/share/psa-horde/imp/lib/Session.php line 295
modify     $_SESSION['imp']['namespace'] = $imapclient->namespace($user_namespace);
with       $_SESSION['imp']['namespace'] = $imapclient->plnamespace($user_namespace);

Reload the webmail page and logout/login again.

Introduction

The Horde Project is a collection of open source software - web applications written in PHP for group-based communication and collaboration.

http://www.horde.org

Using lighttpd Instead of Apache

emerge lighttpd
n /etc/vhosts/webapp-config

vhost_server="lighttpd"

webapp-config -I -d horde -u lighttpd horde 3.3.11

.htaccess Password Protection

/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 

server.modules = (
    "mod_access",
    "mod_auth",

...

$HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "(127.0.0.1|192.168.0.*)" {
auth.debug = 2
auth.backend = "htpasswd"
auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/.htpasswd"
auth.require = ( "/horde/" =>
                 (
                   "method" => "basic",
                   "realm" => "Webmail Access",
                   "require" => "valid-user",
                 )
               )
}

Installation on Gentoo Linux

This guide will install the basic Horde framework, the IMP email application, the Turba Address Book application, the Kronolith Calendar application and the Vacation out-of-office reply software.

PHP

UPDATE: August 2011

You will need to hard mask versions of PHP greater than 5.2, because PHP 5.3 does not work with Horde. 

echo ">dev-lang/php-5.2.17" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Check PHP requirements are met... 

nano /etc/portage/package.use

...and add or edit the line making sure you add cgi, ftp, imap and ldap use flags... 

dev-lang/php apache2 cgi ctype curl ftp gd hash imap ldap mysql nls pcre pdo session simplexml unicode xml

...then reinstall PHP 

emerge -1q php

Apache

Restart Apache web server 

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

IMP

Install the Horde IMP Email software. This will also install the PEAR and Horde Framework 

emerge -q horde-imp

Enable the Horde test PHP page 

chmod 0644 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/test.php

Create the config files for both Horde and IMP 

cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/config/
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done
cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done

Fix the directory permissions 

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/config/
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/

Edit the email servers file 

nano /var/www/localhost/htdocs/horde/imp/config/servers.php
...
$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'hordeauth' => false,
    'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
    'port' => 143,
    'maildomain' => 'yourdomain.com',
    'smtphost' => 'localhost',
    'smtpport' => 25,
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => '',
 );
