Whilst we do provide support for DWmail itself we can't provide personal support for your server configuration. Because of that we do give you a few tips on how to add IMAP support to PHP.
[Please note: configuring IMAP support will require you to have root access to your server AND will require changing core configuration files. We cannot be held responsible for any problems arising relating to the information given below. Always make sure you have a backup]
Throughout the information below you must replace the directory names with the location specific to your server setup.
Linux/Unix Based Systems - Compile from Binary
1) You have a Linux/Unix installation on Apache and your PHP installation is a binary installation from the PHP source.
a) Backup httpd.conf and libphp4.so in case anything goes wrong.
b) Get current PHP info. Create a PHP file (phpinfo.php, for example) in the http documents folder on your site. This file should contain:
code:
----------------------------------------------------------
<? phpinfo(); ?>
----------------------------------------------------------
When you view this file through your browser (ie., http://www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php ), it'll show you lots of information about the PHP installation on your server. Save the output to a local file so you can compare it to similar output after the upgrade.
c) Download and compile IMAP. This is used by DWmail, so it's required by PHP
code:
----------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/local/src
wget ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap.tar.Z
uncompress imap.tar.Z
tar xvf imap.tar
cd imap-2001a
make slx
----------------------------------------------------------
Also, copy the IMAP client header and lib files to appropriate places, as described at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php:
code:
----------------------------------------------------------
cp /usr/local/src/IMAPDIRECTORY/c-client/c-client.a /usr/lib/libc-client.a
cp /usr/local/src/IMAPDIRECTORY/src/c-client/mail.h /usr/include
cp /usr/local/src/IMAPDIRECTORY/src/c-client/rfc822.h /usr/include
cp /usr/local/src/IMAPDIRECTORY/c-client/linkage.h /usr/include
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkrb5 -lgssapi_krb5 -lpam"
----------------------------------------------------------
d) Download and recompile PHP
code:
----------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://uk.php.net/get/php-4.3.4.tar.gz/from/www.php.net/mirror
tar xvfz php-4.3.4.tar.gz
cd php-4.3.4
./configure [CONFIGUREOPTIONS] --with-imap=/usr/local/src/IMAPDIRECTORY
make
make install
----------------------------------------------------------
The [CONFIGUREOPTIONS] here are based on what was displayed in the phpinfo before the upgrade. Feel free to add other options as you feel necessary. The IMAPDIRECTORY is the location of your previously installed IMAP c-client files.
e) Replace the PHP module used by Apache.
code:
----------------------------------------------------------
/path/to/apache/apachectl stop
cp -f /usr/local/src/php-4.3.4/.libs/libphp4.so /path/to/apache/libexec/
/path/to/apache/apachectl start
----------------------------------------------------------
f). View phpinfo again by visiting http://www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php ... It should now display the new version and other info for PHP.
g) Clean up any unnecessary files in /usr/local/src
Linux/Unix Based Systems - RPM
Some operating system providers distribute RPM installer files for PHP, these are not actually built by PHP themselves. Make sure you install the php-imap.rpm file as well
Windows Based Systems
Edit the php.ini file and uncomment the php-imap.dll line
