Home > CentOS > CentOS 8.x > Web based tools > CentOS 8.x Roundcube > Installation

To install roundcube use following steps:

1. Install mariadb and set roundcube database using:

   dnf -y install mariadb-server
   systemctl start mariadb
   systemctl enable mariadb
   mysql_secure_installation
   
   mysql -u root -p
   
   CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail;
   CREATE USER 'roundcube'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<secret>';
   GRANT ALL ON roundcubemail.* to 'roundcube'@'localhost';
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

2. Download LTS version of roundcube from https://roundcube.net/download/
3. Extract the downloaded file at /var/www/roundcube folder
4. Create /etc/httpd/conf.d/roundcube.conf with:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName <server-fqdn>
   DocumentRoot /var/www/roundcube/
   
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/roundcube_error.log
   CustomLog /var/log/httpd/roundcube_access.log combined
   
   <Directory />
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
   
   <Directory /var/www/roundcube/>
   Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   </Directory>
   
   </VirtualHost>

   Other option is to install roundcube on a subdirectory / Alias such as /mail instead of setting it up on entire parent domain.

5. Restart apache for settings to take effect:

   systemctl restart httpd

6. Open http://<server-fqdn>/installer and follow various installer wizard pages. At some point in web based installer we need to enter MariaDB database details as created above. Example values to be filled in installer for Gmail SMTP and IMAP are explained at CentOS 8.x Roundcube web based installer for Gmail IMAP and SMTP
