→INVESTIGATION 3: INSTALL, CONFIGURE & RUN WEBMAIL APPLICATION (Roundcube Mail)
In the investigation, we will simply install, configure and run the '''roundcube''' webmail application.
'''Perform the following steps on vm1:'''
<ol><li>Perform a search on the roundcube application in order to access the website.</li><li>Either Download the lastest '''Complete''' "zipped tarball" from their website from a direct link or use (https://roundcube.net/download/) using wget on the wget command to download directly from a download link (This part may take some effort depending on the Sourceforge website).</li>
<li>Extract the "zipped tarball" and rename the generated directory that contains download source code to: '''webmail'''. Also make sure that '''webmail''' is a sub-directory of your '''DocumentRoot'''.
* Use the '''--no-same-owner''' option when extracting the tar achive to ensure that the files do not keep the original owner (who will not exist on your system).</li>
::* Go onto your host, open Firefox and on the address bar type "vm1.<yourSenecaID>.ops/webmail/installer", make sure your dns on host can resolve the web address. Alternatively, instead of "vm1.<yourSenecaID>.ops" you can input the ip address of your vm1, "192.168.X.2/webmail/installer", change X to your own IP octet.
::* Inside the web browser installer, ensure all required options are "'''ok'''", if "'''DOM: not ok'''" it means you need to install additional php packages (yum install php-xml php-mbstring). Once everything is ready (it will not let you continue otherwise) click next go to the next page.
::* On the next page, insert "vm3.<yourSenecaID>.ops" under the '''imap settings''' '''default_host''' field and "143" in '''default_port''' field. Insert "vm2.<yourSenecaID>.ops" under '''smtp settings''' '''smtp_server''' field, and "25" in '''smtp_port''' field. Ensure '''smtp_user/smtp_pass''' is empty and uncheck '''"Use the current IMAP username and password for SMTP authentication"'''
::* Under '''Database setup''' '''db_dsnw''', enter "localhost" as your database server, "roundcubemail" for database name. Put "roundcube" as Database user, and the password you set for the roundcube user when you configured that in the previous steps for database password. Everything else can be left as default.
::* Click next to create the configuration file, then download it to your host. By default it will be saved under "~SenecaID/Downloads". Transfer the files to vm1 using scp and place it inside /var/www/html/webmail/config folder.
