Installing Imp

[Jonathan Hutchins]

I have installed Imp on two systems, and I don't think you can get much 
simpler than the directions in the INSTALL files. 
 
Downnload horde 
untar 
move to /var/www/http/horde 
cd /var/www/http/horde 
screen 
less docs/INSTALL 
<new screen> 
create MySQL user per INSTALL 
Test user login to MySQL 
create databases from scripts/... per INSTALL 
cd horde/config 
create php config files using 'for foo in...' per INSTALL 
open <site> horde/test.php 
Correct any errors 
download imp 
<close screen> 
close INSTALL 
download/untar imp 
move to horde/imp 
create imp php configuration files 
edit horde/config/horde.php to set password for MySQL 
edit horde/config/registry.php to set horde to use imp login and activate imp 
edit horde/imp/config/conf.php to set authentication options (IMAP is what I 
use) 
edit horde/imp/config/sources.php to point to your mail source (IMAP again). 
Optional: install Turba. 
 
Be sure to follow the Admin FAQ at horde.org in case of errors, but if you 
just go through each INSTALL file step-by-step it works fine.  You may 
encounter a common PHP error which is documented in the FAQ about an illegal 
call on line 64, just edit the file with the error and remove the obsolete 
"is_error" statement per the FAQ. 
 
Seriously, if you just follow the INSTALL files and check the FAQ if you get 
an error, you should be up and running in an hour.
