(Note: the FAQ actually has some stuff on installation now. Take a look at
it - faq.html)

Requirements:
 - PHP 3.0.3 with IMAP support
 - A web server to run php on, preferably an SSL server

Installation Notes for CVS IMP:

index.html is the root of the frame system. IMP will use SSL for everything
if you call it on port 443 (unless you set $default->secure to false, in
which case it will be insecure no matter what). So ideally you should have a
server redirect that sends people to the secure page if they try and access
it insecurely.

You should also edit config/defaults.php3. You can change everything from
the default server to the colors here.

Then put all of the files wherever you want imp to live, and season to taste.

Seriously, if you have the server configured with php3 and IMAP, IMP
shouldn't take much to get running. You can email me (chuck@osmos.ml.org) if
you have questions, and I'll do my best to help out.

Suggestions:

 - If you want a fancier/better installation, write one. I may get around to it
someday, but it's not high on the priority list...

 - If you want to use the standalone cgi version of php3, you have a few
options. If you're running Apache, you should be able to add this line:

Action application/x-httpd-php3 /cgi-bin/php    # or where your php cgi lives

to srm.conf (possibly this will work for other servers as well, but I don't
know), as well as the standard:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps   # this one is optional

... and then the php cgi should automatically handle .php3 files.

You should also be able to set $default->imp_root to go through the cgi. If
this doesn't work, you can do a fair amount of link editing. It stinks, but
it should work - it's just slower.


Enjoy, Chuck Hagenbuch
