Upon obtaining Funambol Data Synchronization Server please install it into

for Windows

    C:\Program Files\Funambol

for Linux

    /opt/Funambol

In the rest of this document, this Funambol installation directory will be referred to as $FUNAMBOL_HOME.

Once installation is completed, you need to configure Funambol Server. It should be configured to use the same MySQL Database that was specified for WebMail. You need to configure properties file for Funambol Data Synchronization Server. The $FUNAMBOL_HOME/install.properties file is the central configuration information storage that is used by the installation procedure to set up the Funambol Data Synchronization Server. Please, follow the below steps to configure Funambol Server:

1. Download MySQL connector from official MySQL page
2. Copy MySQL connector to
   

   for Windows
   

       $FUNAMBOL_HOME\funambol\tools\jre-1.6.0\jre\lib\ext
   

   for Linux

       $FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/tools/jre-1.6.0/jre/lib/ext
   

3. Modify the following file:
   

   for Windows
   

       $FUNAMBOL_HOME\funambol\ds-server\install.properties
   

   for Linux

       $FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/ds-server/install.properties
   

   Change the value of the dbms parameter to: dbms=mysql

4. Comment out the hypersonic configuration section:
   

       #jdbc.classpath=../tools/hypersonic/lib/hsqldb.jar
       #jdbc.driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
       #jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/funambol
       #jdbc.user=sa
       #jdbc.password=
   

5. Place the MySQL configuration: details:
   

   for example:

   for Windows
   

       jdbc.classpath="C:\Program Files\Funambol\tools\jre-1.6.0\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-<version>-bin.jar
   

   for Linux

       jdbc.classpath=/opt/Funambol/tools/jre-1.6.0/lib/ext/mysql-connector-java-<version>-bin.jar
   

   
   jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
   jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://db_host:db_port/db_name?characterEncoding=UTF-8
   jdbc.user=db_user
   jdbc.password=db_user_password
   
   
6. Run the following command:
   

   for Windows
   

       $FUNAMBOL_HOME\funambol\bin\install.cmd
   

   for Linux

       $FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/bin/install
   

answering 'y' to all questions.
After that, run the service


for Windows
Start->Programs->Funambol->Data Synchronization Server->Start Server

for Linux
$FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/bin/funambol start

then specify Mobile Sync URL in AdminPanel->WebMail->MobileSync as described here


7. The final step in setting up Synchronization - you should set the following script to be launched by your OS once a minute:

       $WEBMAIL_ROOR/calendar/cron/funambol.php Cron job should run PHP interpreter with funambol.php file as a parameter. Something like this:
    php -f /path/to/calendar/cron/funambol.php
