How to install SOGo on CentOS 6 with iRedMail (MySQL backend)

Requirements

• A working iRedMail server (MySQL backend) on CentOS 6.

Install SOGo

• Make sure you have EPEL repo enabled, if not, please follow this wiki tutorial to enable it.

# yum repolist | grep -i 'epel'
epel              Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64          11,109

• Add yum repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/sogo.repo:

[SOGo]
name=Inverse SOGo Repository
baseurl=http://inverse.ca/downloads/SOGo/RHEL6/$basearch
gpgcheck=0

• Install SOGo and dependences:

# yum install sogo sope49-gdl1-mysql sogo-activesync libwbxml

Create SQL database to store SOGo data

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE sogo CHARSET='UTF8';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON sogo.* TO sogo@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

-- TODO
mysql> GRANT SELECT ON vmail.mailbox TO sogo@localhost;

mysql> CREATE VIEW sogo.sogo_users (c_uid, c_name, c_password, c_cn, mail, home) AS SELECT username, username, password, name, username, maildir FROM vmail.mailbox;

Configure SOGo

Default SOGo config file is /etc/sogo/sogo.conf:

(
    SOGoProfileURL = "mysql://sogo:password@localhost:3306/sogo/sogo_user_profile";
    OCSFolderInfoURL = "mysql://sogo:password@localhost:3306/sogo/sogo_folder_info";
    OCSSessionsFolderURL = "mysql://sogo:password@localhost:3306/sogo/sogo_sessions_folder";

    SOGoIMAPServer = "127.0.0.1";
    SOGoDraftsFolderName Drafts
    SOGoSentFolderName Sent
    SOGoTrashFolderName Trash

    SOGoMailingMechanism = smtp;
    SOGoSMTPServer = 127.0.0.1;

    // Enable managesieve service
    SOGoSieveServer = sieve://127.0.0.1:4190;
    SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES;
    SOGoVacationEnabled = YES;

    SOGoFirstDayOfWeek = 1;

    SOGoMailMessageCheck = every_5_minutes;
    SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail = YES;
    SOGoAppointmentSendEMailNotifications = YES;
    SOGoFoldersSendEMailNotifications YES
    SOGoACLsSendEMailNotifications YES

    SOGoUserSources =
    (
        {
            type = sql;
            id = directory;
            viewURL = "mysql://sogo:password@127.0.0.1:3306/sogo/sogo_users";
            canAuthenticate = YES;
            isAddressBook = YES;
            userPasswordAlgorithm = md5;
            prependPasswordScheme = YES;
        }
    );

NOTE: SOGo will create required SQL tables automatically (sogo_user_profile, sogo_folder_info, sogo_sessions_folder, ...), we don't need to create them manually.

Start SOGo and dependent services

service sogod start
service httpd restart
service memcached start
