[HowTo] Replace squerrelmail with Roundcube

[bulforce]

First i want to say that it is not neccesery to replace it, you can have them both. To those that haven't heard of roundcube here are some screenshots

Its a fare simple procedure. Here it is.[/b]

1. Download the RoundCube source code from: HERE

2. Create a new directory in /var/www/ispcp/gui/tools/roundcube

3. Upload the unpacked source in it.

4. chown the folder and files in it to vu2000:www-data chown -R vu2000:www-data roundcube/

5. there are two files that needs to be edited over there, they are located in the config directory. Please reffer to this how-to for more info

6. create mysql database if you haven't done it yet. Import mysql.initial.sql in it. The file is located in the SQL folder.

7. Open for editing /etc/apache2/sites-available/00_master.conf

Add the following line:
Alias /rmail /var/www/ispcp/gui/tools/roundcube/

After:
Alias /ftp /var/www/ispcp/gui/tools/filemanager/

8. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And you are done

Now you can go to http://yourserver.com/rmail/ and login with valid mail user that you have created in isp-control.

I'm having problems with this setup ...
I'm using libapache2-mod-fastcgi , and everything I configure either on /etc/apache2/00_master.conf or in the .htaccess just gets ignored.

I just find this thread here that says that with php as a cgi you cannot change the gpc_magic_quotes to off during runtime.

What could I do?

Correct configuration options in 00_master.conf won't get ignored. But why do you need to change magic_quotes for roundcube?

As you are not using mod_php but fastcgi (this is the preferred ispcp method), php config settings must be set in /var/www/master/php5/php.ini (the php.ini file used for the master domain), not as apache directives.

Each hosted domain has it's own php.ini file, located at: /var/www/<domain.tld>/php5/php.ini. If you ever want to set a specific option for a hosted domain, change it here.

I am aware of this, but I wanted to disable the gpc_magic_quotes only in the Directory of roundcube, so it doesn't affect ispcp in any case.

Oh, BTW, in php6 the gpc_magic_quotes will be deprecated

Can you also post manual how to make working FILTER or RULES in Roundcube under ISPcp?

Thanks for info.
