[horde] Can't install with PEAR properly Horde 4.0.13 on Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze

Sun Jan 22 21:54:29 UTC 2012

Hi,

I'm trying to install Horde on my Debian stale server but without
success.

I tried several times to install it, but not get the complete webpage,
say the left menu is empty.

I did the followings following INSTALL document:
pear config-show | less 

I'm searching (/) for:
PEAR directory
Find it:
PEAR directory  php_dir /usr/share/php

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
I'm searching here (Ctrl+w) for:
include_path

Find it:
;include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"

Remove the ";" character, then save file.

Restart Apache2 webserver:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I have installed php-pear using system package manager: aptitude. 
sudo pear upgrade PEAR

sudo pear channel-discover pear.horde.org

sudo pear install horde/horde_role
sudo pear run-scripts horde/horde_role
Filesystem location for the base Horde application : /var/www/horde/

sudo pear install -a -B horde/horde

sudo pear config-show
PEAR directory   php_dir  /usr/share/php

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Ctrl+w :include_path
include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.php

cd /var/www/horde/config
sudo cp conf.php.dist conf.php

sudo nano /var/www/horde/config/conf.php
$conf['auth']['admins'] = array('username');

NOTE! I would like to setup Horde as VirtualHost, but don't know
how. The following doesn't work for some reason, so I omit this setting:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
   Alias /horde /var/www/horde
   <Directory /var/www/horde>
       Options FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride Limit
       deny from all
       allow from 192.168.10.90
   </Directory>
   <Files ~ "\.(inc|bak)$">
       deny from all
   </Files>

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

NOTE AND

sudo nano /etc/exim4/passwd.client
*.google.com:username at gmail.com:Jelszavam

chown root:Debian-exim /etc/exim4/passwd.client
chmod 640 /etc/exim4/passwd.client

The followings can be done only as root:
echo username: username at gmail.com' >> /etc/email-addresses
echo 'username at localhost: username at gmail.com' >> /etc/email-addresses
echo 'username at hostname: username at gmail.com' >> /etc/email-addresses
echo 'username at hostname.localdomain: username at gmail.com' >> /etc/email-addresses

mail username
This works abowe.

sudo apt-get install dovecot

sudo aptitude install fetchmail
sudo nano /etc/default/fetchmail
START_DAEMON=yes

mlocate .pem

Does this serve the purpose?
/etc/ssl/certs/GeoTrust_Primary_Certification_Authority.pem

sudo cp /usr/share/doc/fetchmail/examples/fetchmailrc.example /etc/fetchmailrc

sudo chmod 600 /etc/fetchmailrc
sudo nano /etc/fetchmailrc
poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3
    user 'username at gmail.com' there with password 'password' is username here
        options keep ssl sslfingerprint '59:51:61:89:CD:DD:B2:35:94:BB:44:97:A0:39:D5:B4'
            sslcertck sslcertpath /usr/share/ssl/certs

sudo /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart

http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL

sudo nano /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

Only for the time of setup:
sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/horde

 http://192.168.10.1/horde/admin/config

After setup:
sudo chown -R root.root /var/www/horde

At this point I can't get even http://192.168.10.1/horde/admin/config
webpage when try to open it second or third time; for the first time I
can to get it.

However the left hand menu is empty.

When I uninstall horde to get clean configuration next time, I get
configurations as it was before. How can this happen? How can one clean
the horde installation so the configurations get deleted also?
