Bruce,
Jim Riggs (I think) is creating a FreeBSD port. My efforts are just to try and
help him round out his port.
I believe all it really it needs is to be more turn key (aka a port that you
change a few variables in the config, turn it on in the rc.conf file and it
'just works' like all things FreeBSD.) by having some de facto config files and
to correct some path issues as Jim has done a solid cut so far.
I'm more than happy to post a synopsis on going through this.
I would ask that once complete, you post your document on the FreeBSD site.
That way, people won't have to search far. (I can't tell you how much I'm
starting to hate search engines giving me waaay too much irrelevant information
or none at all) Consolidating things in one location will help people who come
after us immensely.
(BTW, there's already a couple of threads that I've created on this list about
the configuration issues I've had until we get such an article written.)
I expect to have the configuration and functionality issues solved soon as the
people on the SOGo list are very knowledgeable about the product and this is,
by far, the most well-engineered and functional Exchange replacement that I've
come across. (Nothing like the issues I had with Zimbra where they don't
understand that hard-coding platform dependencies/paths is "never a good thing"
and /opt was created for OS extending optional software, not a catch all for
3rd party software. The only thing worse would be to just put it in the OS
directories.)
Sorry, I'm ranting... :-P Anyhow, I'll post some of my configuration files and
the like probably after this weekend. (I have lots to do through Monday.)
Peace to you and thanks to everyone that's been helping me to limp along with
this,
P.

Subject: Re: [SOGo] FreeBSD port - LDAP authentication
Paul, I'm also interested in running SOGo on FreeBSD. Right now I've already
got Dovecot/OpenLDAP/PostgreSQL install in FreeBSD (9.1) jails and have the
SOGo web half running in a CentOS VirtualBox on top of FreeBSD.
But, moving that part over to a FreeBSD jail would be awesome. Would you by
chance be willing to detail the steps and if any complicated things here on the
list? I'd be happy to take it and setup a test environment then write up some
complete documentation on my wiki for everybody. Maybe it's pretty straight
forward but I just haven't tried the SOGo web interface part yet and since you
have done it... :)
