REQUIREMENTS
|
|
------------
|
|
- Postfix
|
|
- Apache / Lighttpd
|
|
- PHP (for web server)
|
|
- one of the following databases:
|
|
- MariaDB/MySQL
|
|
- PostgreSQL
|
|
- SQLite
|
|
|
|
|
|
READ THIS FIRST!
|
|
----------------
|
|
When this is an upgrade from a previous version of Postfix Admin, please read
|
|
DOCUMENTS/UPGRADE.TXT also!
|
|
|
|
If you need to setup Postfix to be able to handle Virtual Domains and Virtual
|
|
Users check out:
|
|
|
|
- the PostfixAdmin documentation in the DOCUMENTS/ directory
|
|
- our wiki at https://sourceforge.net/p/postfixadmin/wiki/
|
|
|
|
There are also lots of HOWTOs around the web. Be warned that many of them
|
|
(even those listed below) may be outdated or incomplete.
|
|
Please stick to the PostfixAdmin documentation, and use those HOWTOs only if
|
|
you need some additional information that is missing in the PostfixAdmin
|
|
DOCUMENTS/ folder.

|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Unarchive new Postfix Admin
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(if you installed PostfixAdmin as RPM or DEB package, you can obviously skip this step.)
|
|
|
|
Assuming we are installing Postfixadmin into /srv/postfixadmin, then something like this should work. Please check https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/releases to get the latest stable release first (the 3.2.4 version/url below is probably stale)
|
|
|
|
$ cd /srv/
|
|
$ wget -O postfixadmin.tgz https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/archive/postfixadmin-3.2.4.tar.gz
|
|
$ tar -zxvf postfixadmin.tgz
|
|
$ mv postfixadmin-postfixadmin-3.2 postfixadmin
|
|
|
|
Alternatively :
|
|
|
|
$ cd /srv
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin.git
|
|
$ cd postfixadmin
|
|
$ git checkout postfixadmin-3.2.4
|
|
|
|
2. Setup Web Server
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Assuming /var/www/html is where your webserver reads from, either create a symlink:
|
|
|
|
$ ln -s /srv/postfixadmin/public /var/www/html/postfixadmin
|
|
|
|
or setup an alias in your webserver config. For Apache, use:
|
|
|
|
Alias /postfixadmin /srv/postfixadmin/public
|
|
|
|
3. Setup a Database
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
With your chosen/preferred database server (i.e. MySQL or PostgreSQL),
|
|
you need to create a new database. A good name for this could be :
|
|
|
|
postfix
|
|
|
|
The mechanics of creating the database vary depending on which server
|
|
you are using. Most users will find using phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin the
|
|
easiest route.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use the command line, you'll need to do something like :
|
|
|
|
For MySQL:
|
|
CREATE DATABASE postfix;
|
|
CREATE USER 'postfix'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'choose_a_password';
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `postfix` . * TO 'postfix'@'localhost';
|
|
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
|
|
|
For PostgreSQL:
|
|
CREATE USER postfix WITH PASSWORD 'whatever';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE postfix OWNER postfix ENCODING 'unicode';
|
|
|
|
For SQLite:
|
|
$mkdir /srv/postfixadmin/database
|
|
$touch /srv/postfixadmin/database/postfixadmin.db
|
|
$sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/postfixadmin/database
|
|
(both the directory and the database need to be writeable)
|
|
|
|
4. Configure PostfixAdmin so it can find the database
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Create /srv/postfixadmin/config.local.php file for your local configuration:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
$CONF['database_type'] = 'mysqli';
|
|
$CONF['database_user'] = 'postfix';
|
|
$CONF['database_password'] = 'postfixadmin';
|
|
$CONF['database_name'] = 'postfix';
|
|
|
|
$CONF['configured'] = true;
|
|
?>
|
|
|
|
See config.inc.php for all available config options and their default value.
|
|
|
|
You can also edit config.inc.php instead of creating a config.local.php,
|
|
but this will make updates harder and is therefore not recommended.
|
|
|
|
The most important settings are those for your database server.
|
|
|
|
You must also change the line that says :
|
|
|
|
$CONF['configured'] = false;
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
$CONF['configured'] = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
PostfixAdmin does not require write access to any files except the templates_c
|
|
directory (smarty cache). You can therefore leave the files owned by root (or
|
|
another user); as long as the web server user (e.g. www-data) can read them, it
|
|
will be fine.
|
|
|
|
For templates_c/, allow write access (only) for the web server user (e. g. www-data).
|
|
The easiest way to do this is
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir -p /srv/postfixadmin/templates_c
|
|
$ chown -R www-data /srv/postfixadmin/templates_c
|
|
|
|
(If you're using e.g. CentOS or another distribution which enables SELinux, something like the following may be necessary as well :
|
|
```chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /usr/share/postfixadmin/templates_c```
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
5. Check settings, and create Admin user
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Hit http://yourserver.tld/postfixadmin/setup.php in a web browser.
|
|
|
|
You should see a list of 'OK' messages.
|
|
|
|
The setup.php script will attempt to create the database structure
|
|
(or upgrade it if you're coming from a previous version).
|
|
|
|
Assuming everything is OK you can specify a password (which you'll
|
|
need to use setup.php again in the future); when you submit the form,
|
|
the hashed value (which you need to enter into config.inc.php is echoed
|
|
out - with appropriate instructions on what to do with it).
|
|
|
|
create the admin user using the form displayed.
|
|
|
|
6. Use PostfixAdmin
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This is all that is needed. Fire up your browser and go to the site that you
|
|
specified to host Postfix Admin.
|
|
|
|
7. Integration with Postfix, Dovecot etc.
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now that PostfixAdmin is working, you need to do some configuration in Postfix,
|
|
Dovecot etc. so that they use the domains, mailboxes and aliases you setup in
|
|
PostfixAdmin.
|
|
|
|
The files in the DOCUMENTS/ directory explain which settings you need to
|
|
do/change.
|
|
|
|
7. XMLRPC Integration (OPTIONAL!)
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
See ADDITIONS/squirrelmail-plugin
|
|
See xmlrpc.php - only a subset of Postfixadmin's functionality is currently exposed.
|
|
See config.inc.php - see xmlrpc_enabled key (defaults to off).
|
|
|
|
You'll need to install a copy of the Zend Framework (version 1.12.x) within Postfixadmin
|
|
or your PHP include_path (see header within xmlrpc.php).
|
|
NOTE: The XMLRPC interface is _not compatible_ with Zend Framework version 2.x.
|
|
You'll need to enable the xmlrpc link (see config.inc.php)
|
|
|
|
