File README.SUSE of Package squirrelmail-beta

README.SUSE for squirrelmail
============================

This package is configured to use the University of Washington IMAP
server over SSL. To enable the IMAP server, please open
`YaST2->Network Services->Network Services(xinetd)' and turn on imaps.
You may need to generate a SSL certificate for your IMAP server, please
refer to /usr/share/doc/packages/imap/README.SuSE how to do that.

You can change the pre configured values by executeing the configure script in
/srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl.

Per default the session.save_path in /etc/php.ini is set to /tmp.
It is strongly recommended to set this parameter to a directory, which is only
readable and writeable by the webserver (group www).

Squirrelmail and Pear DB support
--------------------------------

Php4-pear and php5-pear packages from SUSE distribution come
without Pear DB database support, which was obsoleted by MDB2.

However, Pear DB is needed by Squirrelmail if you want to store user
preferences in database. Please, install Pear DB by typing:

pear install --onlyreqdeps DB
