Topic: atmail On SME

[Brooke]

Dear All,

Anyone have experience using @mail (atmail) from http://atmail.com/index.ehtml on E-smith SME ?
We plan to buy @mail (atmail) for internal use.
Already search at atmail.com but it seems there is no one there using SME.

Thx for Help,

Brooke

Just had a look at the @mail site. My users would love this. I'm going to download the demo and give it a try. I'll report back if I have joy.

I can confirm that it works on SME 6.0. One issue though, it doesn't seem to have support for IMAP subfolders. At least not the Folder;subfolder format of Dovecot.

Thx Derek for that info. Could you please share it here how did you install it on SME 6.0 ?
Anybody maybe have another experience ?

Thx,

Brooke

I talked to someone at @Mail and they assured me that IMAP folder support was only disabled in the demo.

Installation was easy. They have comprehensive instructions on their site. The only SME-specific thing to watch out for is not to let their install script modify httpd.conf. You have to make a custom template with this info:

Alias /atmail /path/to/atmail/folder

# Allow .pl files to be executed as a perl script
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

<Directory "/www/atmail"> # Replace this with your @Mail directory
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Files ~ ".pm > # Deny files ending in .pm
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Make sure the permissions are correct on the folder that you install @Mail into and it all works.

Thank you Derek for that info.
Already download the demo version, try to install today, and if everything works , buy the @mail next week.

I've tried installing atmail and been having trouble.  All I get is an "Internal Server Error"  Below are the basic steps I did for the installation.  If anybody can offer some suggestions I'd really be grateful.  Thanks

1.
tar xvfz atmailwebmail-unix.tgz -C /usr/local/


2. Activate mod_perl

yum install mod_perl
config setprop modPerl status enabled
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

3. Create mysql database and user

used phpmyadmin to create atmail database and user/password


4. install atmail

cd /usr/local/atmail/webmail/

perl install.pl


5. change ownership

chown -R www:www /usr/local/atmail


6. Create httpd.conf template

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
pico 95atmail
