TODO: Move to software page '''Zarafa''' is a software libre groupware server. The for-pay enterprise version provides Microsoft Exchange server functionality. The gratis and libre community version of Zarafa supports, [[POP3]], [[IMAP]], [[CalDAV]] and a [[web application]] interface out-of-the-box, allowing Mac, Mozilla and Novell [[:Category:Personal information management|PIM]] applications (i.e. Mac Mail, [[Thunderbird]], [[Lightning]] and [[Evolution]]) to easily connect to its information stores. Additionally, Zarafa is a useful back-end for [[Z-Push]] and these packages setup together enable full-fledged, locally served [[Android]] synchronization. With additional configuration and integration, using [[LDAP]] for contact storage and access in Zarafa is also possible. == Setup Guide =={{Version|CentOS 5}} === Prerequisites ===Zarafa requires a [[MySQL]] database server be accessible. If you don't already have one, setup and run MySQL on your local machine. === Installation ===Download the non-Outlook, software libre, binary package from the community section of the company's website. If you want to give it a proper extension, it's a gzipped tarball so you can name it <code>zarafa.tar.gz</code> if you like. Unpack the tarball and run the installation script. If you have RPM errors, check to see if you have older versions of the dependencies it ships with already installed. If this is the case, removing them should lead to successful execution of the installation script. <pre># wget 'http://url.com' -O zarafa.tar.gz# tar -xf zarafa.tar.gz# zarafa-*/install.sh</pre> Give the installation script the login information to your MySQL database when asked. === Configuration ===Zarafa has a flexible, pluggable user system. If you have a fully functional LDAP or Active Directory server, go ahead and use it. The default MySQL database backend works fine out-of-the-box, but a Unix backend is also available. If you don't know what to choose, just don't change anything to use the database backend. If you want to use the Unix backend, edit <code>/etc/zarafa/unix.cfg</code> and change the domain to your own. <pre># Default email domain for constructing new users# Required, no defaultdefault_domain = domain.com</pre> Lastly, you'll need to add a user. How you do this depends on the user backend you chose. If you went with the default database backend, an administration tool is provided. Read the man page or run <code>zarafa-admin --help</code> for the full documentation. A quick example is below.<pre># zarafa-admin -c username -e username@domain.com -f 'Full Username' -P</pre> === Starting services ===The first time you run the installation script, it may start some services for you. Below is the list of services if you would like to start additional services or stop them.;<code>zarafa-server</code> : Main server;<code>zarafa-spooler</code> : Outgoing mail service;<code>zarafa-monitor</code> : Quota monitoring service;<code>zarafa-gateway</code> : POP and IMAP service;<code>zarafa-ical</code> : iCal/CalDAV service == Accessing the PIM ===== Calendar ===The calendar can be accessed through CalDAV from the url <code>http://domain.com:8080/caldav/username</code>. Public calendars can be accessed from <code>http://domain.com:8080/caldav/public/calendar</code>. == External Links ==* [http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/drupal/ondemand.php?version=6.30.7&document=Zarafa_Server_Manual&lang=en Zarafa server manual]* [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-956654.html Zafara howto on Ubuntu forums] [[Category:Web applications]][[Category:Personal information management]][[Category:Howtos]][[Category:Needs restorationPending deletion]]
