Install LAMP Server<\/h2>\n
Before starting, you will need to install Apache, MariaDB, and PHP to your system. First, install Apache and MariaDB with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache mariadb-server php7.2 php7.2-gd php-mysql php7.2-curl php7.2-zip php7.2-ldap php7.2-mbstring php-imagick php7.2-intl php7.2-xml unzip wget curl -y<\/p>\n
Once all the packages are installed, you will need to change Timezone setting in php.ini file. You can do this with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/php\/7.2\/apache2\/php.ini<\/p>\n
Make the following changes:<\/p>\n
date.timezone = Asia\/Kolkata \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, then start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot time using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql<\/p>\nDownload Roundcube<\/h2>\n
First, you will need to download the latest version of Roundcube to your system. You can download it with the following command:<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/github.com\/roundcube\/roundcubemail\/releases\/download\/1.3.6\/roundcubemail-1.3.6-complete.tar.gz<\/p>\n
Once the download is completed, extract the downloaded file with the following command:<\/p>\n
tar -xvzf roundcubemail-1.3.6-complete.tar.gz<\/p>\n
Next, move the extracted directory to the Apache web root directory:<\/p>\n
mv roundcubemail-1.3.6 \/var\/www\/html\/roundcube<\/p>\n
Next, give proper permissions to the roundcube directory:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/roundcube
sudo chmod -R 775 \/var\/www\/html\/roundcube<\/p>\nConfigure the Database<\/h2>\n
By default, MariaDB installation is not secured. So you will need to secure it first. You can secure it by running the following script:<\/p>\n
mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
Answer all the questions as shown below:<\/p>\n
Change the password for root ? N \nRemove anonymous users? Y \nDisallow root login remotely? Y \nRemove test database and access to it? Y \nReload privilege tables now? Y \n<\/pre>\n
Once the MariaDB is secured, login to MariaDB shell using the following command:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
Enter your root passw**ord, then create a database and user for Roundcube:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE roundcubedb;
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER ’roundcube’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubedb.* to ’roundcube’@’localhost’;<\/p>\nNext, flush the privileges and exit from the MariaDB shell using the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;<\/p>\nNext, you need to import initial tables to roundcubedb database. You can do this using the following command:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/html\/roundcube
mysql -u roundcube -p roundcubedb < SQL\/mysql.initial.sql<\/p>\nConfigure Apache for Roundcube<\/h2>\n
Next, you will need to create an Apache virtual host file for Roundcube. You can do this with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/roundcube.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName 192.168.0.102 ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/roundcube \n ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/roundcube_error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/roundcube_access.log combined \n <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/roundcube> Options -Indexes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all <\/Directory> \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, then enable virtual host file using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite roundcube<\/p>\n
Next, enable Apache rewrite module and restart Apache server with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\nAccess Webmail<\/h2>\n
