Installing horde...

After using the horde file manager for a project at work, I decided to give it a test drive at home. So far, so good. As this is just a dry run for the migration of tonns.com to home (as I don't have the right setup due to hardware failures). I was feeling kind-of lazy about it, so I followed this HOWTO to get postfix/SMTP-AUTH/TLS/dovecot going.

Key points on the install:

• It's all about rpmforge. Dag Wieers really takes the headache out of installing all this with the rpmforge repository. Remember to send him an email thanking him - I did.
  
  
• The list of packages I had to "yum install" is as follows:

  apr apr-util autoconf automake curl curl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi dovecot e2fsprogs-devel gd httpd httpd-suexec ImageMagick krb5-devel libc-client libidn libidn-devel libtool libtool-libs libxml2-devel mysql mysql-server openssl-devel pam-devel perl-DBD-MySQL perl-DBI perl-HTML-Parser perl-HTML-Tagset perl-libwww-perl perl-URI php php-devel php-domxml php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mysql php-odbc php-pear php-pear-log php-pear-mail_mime php-pecl-fileinfo php-pecl-memcache php-xmlrpc pkgconfig postgresql-libs rpm-build unixODBC vsftpd zlib-devel

  
  
• PHP and PAM don't play nice together. The pam_auth module for php exists, but damn I couldn't get it to compile as a module and fuck-no, I'm not recompiling PHP.
  
  
• Instead, setup IMP and MIMP before other modules, and use thier auth (i.e. imap auth) as the horde auth using this setup: http://wiki.horde.org/MIMPHowTo adding $conf['auth']['driver'] = 'composite'; as well.
  
  
• Getting the latest PEAR modules to install was also a PITA. IMP requires HTTP_Request and Auth_SASL modules, but to get them installed I had to lock-step upgrade modules to interim versions before everything would update. Specifically:
  

  pear upgrade Archive_Tar
  pear upgrade PEAR-1.3.3
  pear upgrade PEAR
  pear upgrade XML_RPC-1.4.0
  pear upgrade-all
  pear install HTTP_Request
  pear install Auth_SASL

  Which finally left me with:
  

  Installed packages, channel pear.php.net:
  =========================================
  Package        Version State
  Archive_Tar    1.3.1   stable
  Auth_SASL      1.0.2   stable
  Console_Getopt 1.2     stable
  DB             1.7.6   stable
  HTTP           1.4.0   stable
  HTTP_Request   1.4.0   stable
  Log            1.9.9   stable
  Mail           1.1.14  stable

  Net_Socket     1.0.6   stable
  Net_URL        1.0.14  stable
  PEAR           1.4.11  stable
  XML_Parser     1.2.7   stable
  XML_RPC        1.5.1   stable

Other than that, it was mostly following the horde INSTALL files. It's pretty simple.

Today, I'm gonna try to take a look at SpamAssassin, ClamAV, amavisd-new, CRM114, etc. etc. blah. blah.
