Install Squirrelmail for use as a webmail system for OpenACS

By Malte Sussdorff

OpenACS docs are written by the named authors, and may be edited by OpenACS documentation staff.

This section is work in progress. It will detail how you can install Squirrelmail as a webmail frontend for OpenACS, thereby neglecting the need to have a seperate webmail package within OpenACS

[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME]# cd www
[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME www]# wget http://cesnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/squirrelmail/squirrelmail-1.4.4.tar.gz
[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME www]# tar xfz squirrelmail-1.4.4.tar.gz
[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME www]# mv squirrelmail-1.4.4 mail
[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME www]# cd mail/config
[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME www]# ./conf.pl
      

Now you are about to configure Squirrelmail. The configuration heavily depends on your setup, so no instructions are given here.
