*SOGo is groupware server with a focus on scalability and open standards.

*SOGo provides a rich AJAX-based Web interface and supports multiple native clients through the use of standard protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV and GroupDAV.

*SOGo is the missing component of your infrastructure; it sits in the middle of your servers to offer your users an uniform and complete interface to access their information. It has been deployed in production environments where thousands of users are involved.

II/INSTALL

#easy_install web.py Jinja2 python-ldap==2.3.8 netifaces
#rpm -ivh http://www.iredmail.org/yum/rpms/5/mod_wsgi-2.5-2.ired.i386.rpm

Step 2:download Iredadmin(you need buy liscense because open source version only fearture create mailbox not create maillist but you can use phpldapadmin create mailist ) from http://iredmail.googlecode.com/files/iRedAdmin-0.1.1.tar.bz2
Step 3:Copy iRedAdmin to /var/www/, set correct file permissions

$ ln -s iRedAdmin-0.1.1 iredadmin   

Step 5:Add apache configure file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/iredadmin.conf.

AddType text/html .py Order deny,allow Allow from all

Step 6:Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf, make iredadmin accessable via HTTPS. Add below lines before :

WSGIScriptAlias /iredadmin /var/www/iredadmin/iredadmin.py/ Alias /iredadmin/static /var/www/iredadmin/static/

Step 7:restart apache

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE iredadmin DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
mysql> USE iredadmin;
mysql> SOURCE /var/www/iredadmin/docs/samples/iredadmin.sql;
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON iredadmin.* TO
