I would just use yum to install them ... httpd, mysql and php all need to be up and functioning before installing the horde apps (those are also required for qmailtoaster to work, so they are already setup if you have a functional qmailtoaster running). The Horde RPMS are in the extras repository (which is enabled by default in CentOS), so you can install them using yum: yum groupinstall Horde-Apps BUT, that is just the beginning of the install. You would then need to go to the /usr/share/horde/docs and follow the INSTALL document for the Horde Framework. (The things you need to install are the extra pear modules and do all the database create scripts and configure ... you do not need to setup apache or compile/untar anything). You would also need to do the same for all the other apps that are included (gollem, imp, ingo, kronolith, mnemo, nag, and turba). There is a docs directory under each individual app directory ... for example /usr/share/horde/gollem/docs/ ... and an INSTALL document in each. Once all the databases are created and the pear stuff is right, you need to make the conf.php file in each app's config directory owned by the user that runs your web server (usually apache in CentOS, but it could be different if changed by the user ... look in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file for the User and Group directives and make note of what they are, usually both are set to apache) So each conf.php file in each config directory (ie, /usr/share/horde/config/conf.php and /usr/share/horde/gollem/config/conf.php ... and the other modules) need to have the following command done on them (from within their directory): chown apache:apache conf.php (if apache is the User and Group used to run the web server) Once all the conf.php files are writable by the web server, you would go to: http://your.servername.here/horde/ and set up each app as instructed in the install docs. Horde is a very detailed setup, even with the RPMS. You would also want to look at /etc/httpd/conf.d/horde.conf and make sure it is what you want ... it is probably OK. If your server is using SELinux, you would need to work with your profiles and rules to allow the webserver user to update the conf.php files as well. ------------------------------------------ I don't like the way the pear modules need to be updated/installed ... basically you can use the command: pear list to get your current modules that are installed ... and you can do upgrade the modules (for each module listed EXCEPT "PEAR"): pear upgrade module_name If/when PHP is upgraded (actually the rpm named php-pear), you will need to re-upgrade the base modules (which is a major PITA). Those base pear modules currently are: Installed packages: =================== Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.6.2 stable HTTP 1.2.2 stable Mail 1.1.3 stable Net_SMTP 1.2.3 stable Net_Socket 1.0.1 stable PEAR 1.3.2 stable XML_Parser 1.0.1 stable XML_RPC 1.1.0 stable Just for the record, Greg Swallow (SME Server project) did some of the original spec files for the Horde apps (with I used as a template to create the rest) and he is currently trying to work with RHEL and Fedora to make it easier to upgrade the pear modules as RPMS. Greg and I have corresponded on this and I agree with the patch he has submitted ... hopefully upstream will do something soon. Since CentOS is an enterprise distro, we want to wait to see how upstream is going to handle the pear RPMS issue before we roll something into CentOS ... as we are committed to maintaining what we do for 7 years. --- Thanks, Johnny Hughes
