If you have already used RoundCube installation please make sure you remove any traces of it with,


cd /usr/local/cpanel/base
rm -rf roundcube*
mysql -p -e 'drop database roundcube';
chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/webmaillogin.html
chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi
/scripts/upcp


You will have to specify your root password when prompted.

Now lets download roundcube first and chmod the directorys


cd /usr/local/cpanel/base
wget -O roundcube.tar.gz http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/roundcubemail/
roundcubemail-0.1-rc1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf roundcube.tar.gz
rm -rf roundcube.tar.gz
mv -f roundcubemail-0.1-rc1 roundcube
cd roundcube
chmod -R 777 temp
chmod -R 777 logs


Create the database and install the intial sql file. The following commands will do this for you.


mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE roundcube;" -pDATABASEPASSWORD
mysql -e "use roundcube; source SQL/mysql.initial.sql;" -pDATABASEPASSWORD


Now lets sort out the configuration


cd config
mv db.inc.php.dist db.inc.php
mv main.inc.php.dist main.inc.php


Now open db.inc.php

nano db.inc.php

Find


$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:pass@localhost/roundcubemail';


Replace with


$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://root:DATABASEPASSWORD@localhost/roundcube';


Now Open main.inc.php

nano main.inc.php

Find


$rcmail_config['default_host'] = '';


Replace with


$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';


Now we have to configure cPanel to show roundcube in the theme. Please note this is for the X theme(default) only!! If you use another theme please skip the next part and see below.


cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/roundcube/skins/default/images/
cp --reply=yes roundcube_logo.png /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/images/roundcube_logo.png
cp --reply=yes roundcube_logo.png /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmail/x/images/roundcube_logo.png
cd /usr/local/cpanel/base
wget http://www.hostgeekz.com/files/hostgeekz/HGpatch-roundcube-0.1-rc1
patch -p0 < HGpatch-roundcube-0.1-rc1


**NOTE** If you receive a message stating

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R?

please press N for No as this is because you previously installed roundcube

This will auto do all the necessary changes to roundcube and the X theme.

Once the patch is executed you may now access roundcube via http://yourip/webmail

—–

If you do not use the X theme please do the following


cd /usr/local/cpanel/base
wget http://www.hostgeekz.com/files/hostgeekz/HGpatch-roundcube-NON-X-0.1-rc1
patch -p0 < HGpatch-roundcube-NON-X-0.1-rc1


Then open your webmaillogin.html, please replace YOURTHEME with the name of your theme.


nano /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/YOURTHEME/webmaillogin.html


and find

Add Below

RoundCube——

***UPDATE***
Remember to chattr +i the files or add the patch to your /scripts/upcp.


chattr +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/webmaillogin.html
chattr +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi


If you are using cPanel 11 ensure to run the following fix.


wget http://www.hostgeekz.com/files/hostgeekz/cpanel-11-fix.sh
chmod 700 cpanel-11-fix.sh
./cpanel-11-fix.sh
rm -f cpanel-11-fix.sh
