==== How to Install/Uninstall (Automated) ====
Here's the sequence of events to get the virtual email server up and running:
# Restart your [[Intro|HDA]] so it's fresh for the install. This is not required, just a recommendation.
# Open terminal [[Open_Terminal_as_root|Open a terminal as '''root'''user]], and create a web app in Amahi named '''ams''' (see Amahi application [[Amahi_7_Create_Manual_Web_App|Create Manual https://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps Web App in Amahi 7]]provides this capability.).
# Navigate to '''''/var/hda/web-apps/ams''''' directory.
# Download [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1380867/mail-server-1.0205.zip mail-server-1.0205.zip] (sha1sum c528405143e26eb2f692b372767084041bfc70934d5623d5d00a4d66512455deaec688fc49a34782) to this directory and extract it into '''''html''''' directory of '''''ams''''' (archive [http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1380867/FilesList.html contentfile list]).
# Ensure you recursively change ownership of the files to apache:users.
# Need to make a directory called '''''elevated''''' in '''''ams'''''. Copy mail-setup.sh and del-maildir.sh to that location.
===== Example Install Terminal Session =====
cd /var/hda/web-apps/ams
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1380867/mail-server-1.0205.zipmkdir -p elevated
cd html
unzip ../mail-server-1.0205.zipchmod 755 *.shchown -R apache:users * ../elevated
cp mail-setup.sh ../elevated
cp del-maildir.sh ../elevated
hda-create-db-and-user mail
mysql -umail -pmail mail < config/mail.sql}}</pre>
==== How to Uninstall (Manual) ====
To uninstall, do the following:
# Open terminal [[Open_Terminal_as_root|Open a terminal as '''root'''user]], and navigate to '''''/var/hda/web-apps/ams/html''''' directory.
# Remove the database.
# Ensure mail-remove.sh is executable.
# From the '''''html''''' directory, run the script. This may take a while to complete.
# Remove the web app in Amahi named '''ams''' (see [Amahi application [Amahi_7_Create_Manual_Web_App|Create Manual https://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps Web App in Amahi 7]]provides this capability.) and close the terminal window.
===== Example Uninstall Terminal Session =====
cd /var/hda/web-apps/ams/html
hda-create-db-and-user -d mail
./mail-remove.sh}}</pre><br>
==== Add-Ons ====
* To permanently change your hostname from '''localhost.localdomain''', see this [http://www.labtestproject.com/using_linux/permanently_change_hostname_on_fedora article].
* You can change the Login Credentials for the integrated database manager/web-based installer by doing the following:
*# * Open the Login-class.php file in the '''''/var/hda/web-apps/ams/html''''' directory*# * On lines 29 and 32, change to whatever works for you*# * Save and now you can log in using the new credentials
* Change the sender default email address format (i.e. root@hda.amahi.net) by following [[Masquerade_email_address|Masquerade email address]] tutorial.
* Update mail certificate
** Should you need to update the mail certificates, use the mail-cert-update.sh script.
** Prior to executing the script, you will want to update the values for Country, State, City, Organization, Organizational Unit, and Number of Days for the certificate to be valid.
** Once complete, you can execute the script to update the mail server certificates.
su -
cd /var/hda/web-apps/ams/html
./mail-cert-update.sh
* Move mailbox data files to share
** <u>MUST</u> be accomplished prior to doing the install (Step #12).
** Will ensure if you uninstall, mailbox data files will be preserved.
** Create a new [[Storage_and_file_sharing#Step_2:_Create_Shares|share]] named <b>ams</b> in Amahi dashboard Shares tab.
** Open terminal [[Open_Terminal_as_root|as '''root''' user]] and execute the following commands:
cd /var/hda/web-apps/ams
sed -i '57s|/home/vmail|/var/hda/files/ams|' html/mail-setup.sh;
sed -i '65s|/home/vmail|/var/hda/files/ams|' html/mail-setup.sh;
sed -i '74s|/home/vmail|/var/hda/files/ams|' html/users.php;
sed -i '12s|/home/vmail|/var/hda/files/ams|' html/config/authmysqlrc;
====Troubleshooting====
* Should your mail server hang up and stop working, you can most likely fix it with the <b>mail-stop.sh</b> and <b>mail-start.sh</b> scripts included in the app. Open terminal [[Open_Terminal_as_root|as '''root''' user]] and do the following:
<pre>cd /var/hda/web-apps/ams/html
./mail-stop.sh
./mail-start.sh</pre>
* If you get the message " warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found." [[Open_Terminal_as_root|open a terminal as '''root''']] and execute the following:
yum install cyrus-sasl{,-plain}
: Restart Postfix
systemctl restart postfix
<!--* Add '''NEW''' users to the foo.com domain (does not include any DNS MX records). Modify the '''mail''' database and substitute your information accordingly:
*# In the '''users''' table, insert a new record with the following information...
