SquirrelMail is a popular webmail interface that allows users to read, send, and manage their email messages within a web browser. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install SquirrelMail on Clear Linux Latest.
To install SquirrelMail, we need to have PHP installed on our system. Clear Linux Latest provides PHP by default, so we can install it using the following command.
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic
Go to the SquirrelMail website and download the latest version of SquirrelMail. You can download it using the following command.
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrelmail/files/stable/1.4.22/squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22.zip
Once the download is complete, we need to extract the downloaded file. We will extract it to the webserver's document root directory.
sudo unzip squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22.zip -d /var/www/html/
Now, we need to rename the squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22 directory to squirrelmail.
sudo mv /var/www/html/squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.22 /var/www/html/squirrelmail
We need to set the correct permissions for the squirrelmail directory.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/squirrelmail
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/squirrelmail
We need to configure SquirrelMail to use our server settings. For that, we need to open the config file.
sudo nano /var/www/html/squirrelmail/config/config.php
Go to line 258 and set the $domain variable to your server's domain name.
$domain = 'yourdomain.com';
Save and close the file.
Now, we can access SquirrelMail by opening a web browser and entering the following URL.
http://yourserverip/squirrelmail
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install SquirrelMail on Clear Linux Latest. Now, you can use SquirrelMail to manage your emails through a web interface.
