Dedicated vhost installation:

apt-get install turba2 kronolith2 mnemo2 nag2

Apache configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /usr/share/horde3
        ServerName horde.example.com

        Alias /horde3 /usr/share/horde3

Get necessary sql creation scripts:

zcat /usr/share/doc/horde3/examples/scripts/sql/create.pgsql.sql.gz > create.pgsql.sql
cp /usr/share/doc/turba2/examples/scripts/sql/turba.pgsql.sql .
cp /usr/share/doc/kronolith2/examples/scripts/sql/kronolith.pgsql.sql .
cp /usr/share/doc/mnemo2/examples/scripts/sql/mnemo.sql .
cp /usr/share/doc/nag2/examples/scripts/sql/nag.sql .

Edit beginning of create.pgsql.sql to read:

CREATE USER horde;
ALTER USER horde WITH PASSWORD 'password';

As postgresql superuser, run:

psql < create.pgsql.sql
psql horde horde < kronolith.pgsql.sql
psql horde horde < turba.pgsql.sql
psql horde horde < mnemo.sql
psql horde horde < nag.sql

Edit /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php ; remove first echo and exit lines. Then do the following change:

$conf['cookie']['path'] = '/';

Edit /etc/horde/horde3/prefs.php to look like following:

twentyFour stanza:

'value' => true,

date_format stanza:

'value' => '%Y-%m-%d',

first_week_day stanza:

'value' => '1',

Edit /etc/horde/kronolith2/prefs.php to loog like following:

week_start_monday stanza:

'value' => '1',

Edit /etc/horde/horde3/registry.php to look like following:

horde stanza:

'webroot' => '',

Change config directory permissions:

chown www-data:www-data /etc/horde/ -R

Web-configure horde from http://horde.example.com

Now edit /etc/horde/horde3/registry.php again to look like following:

kronolith stanza:

'status' => 'active',

turba stanza:

'status' => 'active',

mnemo stanza:

'status' => 'active',

nag stanza:

'status' => 'active',

Now configure horde again, for horde set $conf[share][no_sharing] to OFF and $conf[share][any_group] ON. Also, configure the permissions system; add kronolith , turba, mnemo and nag to the permissions system. For all the aforementioned apps, grant Show and Read permissions for 1) "All Authenticated Users" and 2) "Guest Permissions".

Now every user can configure sharing of his/her calendar, address book, etc. For example, to share one's calendar, select Calendar app, "Manage Calendars" and select the "keys" icon, then check Show and Read permissions for "Guest Permissions".

SyncML synchronization to mobile phone

The best thing with the setup, IMHO, is the ability to synchronize all the data to a SyncML capable mobile phone. I use Nokia E51, and the synchronization just works. To setup synchronization on phone,

Notes:

• Make sure, php has at least 32 MB's of memory
• Preference system should be used with the 'SQL database' option
