==Setup Guide==
{{Version|CentOS 5}}
===Prerequisites===Zarafa requires a [[w:MySQL|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 sourcesoftware 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 -xzf 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.
</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-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==
