README.Slackware ================ This document gives some basic instructions on setting up Zarafa on Slackware 1) Prepare your MySQL server ---------------------------- On your MySQL server, enter with an account with full privileges: # mysql -u -p In MySQL, create the database and user: mysql> create database zarafa; mysql> grant all privileges on zarafa.* to zarafa@ identified by 'zarafa'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> quit You can change the name of the user and password as you please. 2) Edit Zarafa configuration files ---------------------------------- The sample configuration files are installed in /etc/zarafa/ There are files for the server, spooler, gateway, etc. Change at least the file server.cfg to the correct values for your MySQL server: mysql_host (can be localhost if mysql is on the same box) mysql_user (default is root, not a good idea) mysql_password 3) Starting and stopping services --------------------------------- For all services a /etc/rc.d/rc.zarafa-* script is installed. To start a particular service, make the script executable and include a few lines in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script. As an example for the zarafa-server: # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zarafa-server Include the following lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, they will check all scripts related to zarafa and start them if the executable bit is set: for z in server spooler gateway dagent ical monitor indexer ; do if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zarafa-$z ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.zarafa-$z start fi done To stop them at shutting down your server, include these lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: for z in indexer monitor ical dagent gateway spooler server ; do if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zarafa-$z ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.zarafa-$z stop fi done 4) Creating "public store" -------------------------- To create the public store of shared folders, use: # zarafa-admin -s 5) Where to go from here ------------------------ With these steps, you have concluded the basic setup of Zarafa. For web access, install the zarafa-webaccess-ajax package. More documentation is available in the man-pages and from the Zarafa site: http://www.zarafa.com/content/documentation On this site, several manuals (including some translations) and whitepapers can be downloaded.
