'''Zarafa''' is a Free Software groupware server. The for-pay enterprise version provides Microsoft Exchange server functionality. For non-enterprise users, Zarafa's ability to function as a back-end for [[Z-Push]], allowing full-fledged, locally served [[Android]] synchronization may be its most attractive feature.
=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, open source, 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 -xzf 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. Otherwise, the Unix backend is recommended. To configure it, edit <code>/etc/zarafa/unix.cfg</code> and change the domain to your own.
<pre>
# Default email domain for constructing new users
# Required, no default
default_domain = vtluug.org
</pre>
