The Roundcube webmail software is available in
The ports for Roundcube webmail is available in /var/www/html/roundcube. To install roundcube, you will need to type the following (as root):
# cd /usr/ports/mail/roundcube # make install clean
The ports system will install Apache, PHP4, and MySQL if you do not have them on your system. By default, roundcube is installed in /usr/local/www/roundcube/
Now, I’m going to map the http://localhost/roundcube/ to /var/www/html/roundcube/. To do this you will need to open the apache configuration located in /etc/http/http.d Edit httpd.conf then copy and paste the following:
Alias /roundcube "/usr/local/www/roundcube/" <Directory "/usr/local/www/roundcube"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Save the file and then restart apache: # apachectl restart
You now need to create a database for roundcube. Once you’ve created the database, you need to open config/db.inc and change the database setting:
$rcmailconfig['dbdsnw'] = 'mysql://username:secretpass@localhost/roundcube';
The format for the above line is db_provider://user:password@host/database.
Now, you want to edit main.inc.php file and change the mailhost setting with your IMAP server address. You can leave them blank, roundcube will display a textbox at login so users can enter the IMAP address manually.
$rcmailconfig['defaulthost'] = 'localhost';
Now, you need to import the database structure into your roundcube database. You can copy and paste them into phpMyAdmin or you can use the following command:
# cd /var/www/html/roundcube/SQL # mysql -u user -p database < mysql.initial.sql
All done, congratulation you have installed roundcube on your server. You can access your roundcube webmail on http://localhost/roundcube/ (You can change your localhost to your hostname).
You can now login with your username and password on your IMAP server.
