Adding Kolab Calendar in Directadmin Roundcube webmail
If you need to add Kolab Calendar on Roundcube and your control panel is DirectAdmin this may help you:
First, we need access root.
Run this command to find pnp.ini. if you are not sure where is it:
php –ini
In pnp.ini if you have (proc_close,proc_open,) in disable_functions then remove this 2 itmes and restart httpd. (We can add them again after sucess kolab calendar instalaltion)
Time to start Kolab Calendar in Directadmin :
# yum install git php-sabre-*
# cd /tmp
# git clone https://git.kolab.org/diffusion/RPK/roundcubemail-plugins-kolab.git
# cd /var/www/html/roundcube/plugins/ >>>or (cd /<path-to-roundcube>)
# cp -r /tmp/roundcubemail-plugins-kolab/plugins/calendar .
# cp -r /tmp/roundcubemail-plugins-kolab/plugins/libcalendaring .
# cd calendar
# cp config.inc.php.dist config.inc.php
Now we need a MySQL root password, if you don’t know what is your MySQL root password run this command:
# cat /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf
backup your Roundcube database before any change, all user’s contacts are saved in this DB if you don’t have a backup you will go in trouble.
I used this command to backup database:
# mysqldump –user da_admin –password=”123456″ da_roundcube > /var/www/html/roundcube/da_roundcubeBK.sql
da_admin is mysql root username
123456 is myql root password
da_roundcube is roundcube database name
after backedup roundcube db make sure da_roundcubeBK.sql file is ok on backup path in this case: /var/www/html/roundcube/
If you need to restore backedup database you can use this command:
mysql –user=da_admin –password=”123456″ da_roundcube < da_roundcubeBK.sql
Run the initial mysql file in the calendar plugin folder:
# mysql –user=da_admin –password=”123456″ da_roundcube < /var/www/html/roundcube/plugins/calendar/drivers/database/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
# mysql –user=da_admin –password=”123456″ da_roundcube < /var/www/html/roundcube/plugins/calendar/drivers/kolab/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
# mysql –user=da_admin –password=”123456″ da_roundcube < /var/www/html/roundcube/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
Now add ( ‘calendar’,) to roundcube config file with your favorite editor, Mine is vi:
# vi /var/www/html/roundcube/config/config.inc.php
If you were not sure where is the right place looking for this line:
$config [‘plugins’] = array(
As screenshot :
This file is read-only and to save by vi should use this command:
w !sudo tee %
To prevent changing config on updates:
# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
# mkdir custom
# cd custom
# mkdir roundcube
# cp /var/www/html/roundcubemail-1.3.x/config/config.inc.php /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/roundcube
We need php-ldap module but can’t do on DirectAdmin, install it with yum so we will do a little change:
remove (php*) on this file:
# vi /etc/yum.conf
sould delete php* from exclude= php*
Now we can install php-ldap:
# yum install php-ldap
After installation add again exclude= php*
Compile php with ldap:
# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
# mkdir -p custom/ap2
# cp -fp configure/ap2/configure.php56 custom/ap2/configure.php56
# ./build used_configs | grep configure.php
This command show php info and result should be like this:# (PHP (default) configuration file: /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/configure.php56)
Edit custom/ap2/configure.php56 and add:
(–with-ldap=/usr \
–with-ldap-sasl=/usr)
# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
# ./build php n
# service httpd restart
Install the dependencies with Composer
# cd /var/www/html/roundcube/
# wget https://getcomposer.org/download/1.5.2/composer.phar
# cp composer.json-dist composer.json
# php composer.phar require sabre/vobject 3.3.3
if you got an error you can run first :
# php composer.phar install
and again:
# php composer.phar require sabre/vobject 3.3.3
# cd var/www/html/roundcube/plugins
# chown webapps:webapps libcalendaring calendar
Now you have a calendar on your round cube.
