Installation obsolete
There is no jessie roundcube :(
We're going to get the backport version as it's much much better
so in /etc/apt/sources.list add
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
and to install
apt-get -t squeeze-backports install roundcube roundcube-mysql roundcube-plugins roundcube-plugins-extra
You will need mysql-server, apache2 and php5 as well.
then in /etc/roundcube/apache.conf
uncomment:
Alias /roundcube/program/js/tiny_mce/ /usr/share/tinymce/www/
Alias /roundcube /var/lib/roundcube
in /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php change
$rcmail_config['htmleditor'] = 0; to 1 $rcmail_config['preview_pane'] = 0; to 1 $rcmail_config['default_host'] = '127.0.0.1'; $rcmail_config['language'] = 'nl_NL';
Settings that need looking at and haven't been enabled yet!
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'localhost'; $rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u'; $rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
in /usr/local/etc/php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 5M
Plugins
virtuser_file
This comes with the roundcube-plugins package and makes roundcube read the identities (@domain.ext) from a file in the format:
email@domain.ext user
email2@domain2.ext user2
If a user has multiple @domain.ext set in the file, then it makes multiple entries you can choose from as your from address.
Find in /etc/roundcube/config.inc.php
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file');
To enable it. and then all the way at the bottom set
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = '/etc/postfix/virtual';
NB: This only reads the identities the first time a user logs in!
DragnDrop Attachments
You can find that here
download, then unzip and mv to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/dragndrop_attachments/
In main.inc.php
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file','vcard_attachments','show_additional_headers','emoticons','jqueryui','dragndrop_attachments', 'vacation');
NB dragndrop_attachments.js has a hardcoded max message size in it!
Google Contacts
Syncs your Google account with the adress book. Find it here
Download, then unzip and mv to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/google_contacts/
Add the SQL in the file, move the config/config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php (might want to change $rcmail_config['google_contacts_max_results'] = 1000; to a higher number)
Download the Zend GData API's. In that file there is a subdirectory somewhere called Zend, which you copy to /var/lib/roundcube/program/lib/Zend/
In main.inc.php
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file','vcard_attachments','show_additional_headers','emoticons','jqueryui','dragndrop_attachments', 'vacation','google_contacts');
If you get a bad authentication error, you need to ensure that in Personal Settings -> Address Book the account has been filled in with everything after the @ as well. If you still get the error, gmail may have sent you a message saying that you need to authenticate the new device. There should be a link to allow this in that mail.
This also creates a log in /var/log/roundcube/google_contacts
If /var/log/roundcube/errors starts giving memory exhausted errors you need to edit the memory_limit in /var/lib/roundcube/.htaccess
404 error with photo's can be solved by commenting out everything before 'start photo' and 'end photo'. This is because roundcube 7.2 (debian wheezy) doesn't support photo's.
May have to look at 503 error
Automatic Addressbook
Automatically adds people you send a mail to to an address book. Get it here
Vacation autoresponder
The best version I can find now is https://github.com/bukowski12/roundcube-vacation-plugin
You can search it up on https://plugins.roundcube.net/#/
Installation instructions can be found on https://github.com/bukowski12/roundcube-vacation-plugin/blob/master/INSTALL.md
Obsolete
This package is not compatible with the elastic skin. It does create some real problems though because it creates an aliases column in the user table which is not nullable. This means that new users can't log in without this plugin installed as it throws errors like:
[17-Sep-2024 06:53:25 +0000]: <as95v65i> DB Error: [1364] Field 'alias' doesn't have a default value (SQL Query: INSERT INTO `users` (`created`, `last_login`, `username`, `mail_host`, `language`, `preferences`) VALUES (now(), now(), 'username', 'localhost', 'en_GB', 'a:0:{}')) in /usr/share/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php on line 578 (POST /roundcube/?_task=login&_action=login)
[17-Sep-2024 06:53:25 +0000]: <as95v65i> PHP Error: Failed to create new user in /usr/share/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_user.php on line 726 (POST /roundcube/?_task=login&_action=login)
[17-Sep-2024 06:53:25 +0000]: <as95v65i> PHP Error: Failed to create a user record. Maybe aborted by a plugin? in /usr/share/roundcube/program/include/rcmail.php on line 813 (POST /roundcube/?_task=login&_action=login)
To fix this, you can either drop the column (not my preference) or
alter table users modify alias varchar(128);
MariaDB [roundcube]> describe users; +----------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | user_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | username | varchar(128) | NO | MUL | NULL | | | mail_host | varchar(128) | NO | | NULL | | | alias | varchar(128) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
Download it from here
unzip it to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/vacation/
The config.ini should look like this:
[default] driver = "ftp" subject = "Afwezig" body = "default.txt" [dotforward] binary = "/usr/bin/vacation" flags = "" message = ".vacation.msg" database = ".vacation.db" alias_identities = true set_envelop_sender = false always_keep_message = true
in Roundcube 0.5 the page layout has changed and the plugin displays incorrectly. To fix this, edit
plugins/vacation/skins/default/vacation.css
and add in some padding:
#pagecontent {
width: 800px;
padding-top:70px;
}
Also edit plugins/vacation/default.txt
Note that it won't save the autoresponder message and subject if you don't tick the checkbox on the top of the page (which we've moved down a bit above)
Finally, add 'vacation' to the $rcmail_config['plugins'] in roundcube main.inc.php
You can find the auto reply in the settings
Changing max attachment filesize
Make sure the following settings are correct:
php
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:post_max_size = 100M /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:upload_max_filesize = 100M
postfix
/etc/postfix/main.cf:mailbox_size_limit = 0 /etc/postfix/main.cf:message_size_limit = 104857600
roundcube
/usr/share/roundcube/.htaccess:php_value upload_max_filesize 100M /usr/share/roundcube/.htaccess:php_value post_max_size 100M NB maybe also /etc/roundcube/htaccess
drag 'n drop attachments
/var/lib/roundcube/plugins/dragndrop_attachments/dragndrop_attachments.js: if(total_size > 100000000 /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/dragndrop_attachments/localization/en_US.inc:$labels['files_to_upload_bigger_than_allowed'] = 'The size of the files exceeds the maximum allowed size (100 Mb)'; /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/dragndrop_attachments/localization/en_GB.inc:$labels['files_to_upload_bigger_than_allowed'] = 'The size of the files exceeds the maximum allowed size (100 Mb)';
Important when testing!
NB. when testing, you may need to delete the users from the roundcube mysql database to check if certain settings are being set before logging in (the identities and users table)
Also there is a
/var/log/roundcube/error.log
you can consult
