Install on cPanel (WebMail Pro 6 PHP)

From AfterLogic Wiki

Introduction

You can easily install WebMail Pro PHP on a cPanel server.

If you're a hosting provider and wish to offer WebMail Pro to your clients (instead of the current webmail software), follow the instructions below.

Installing through direct embedding

The installation is really simple, it is performed with the installation wizard which guides you through the entire process.

To begin, download the installer package from here.

Assuming you downloaded the installer to your home directory on a cPanel server, extract it to the same location:

cd ~ tar -xzvf ./webmail-panel-installer.tar.gz

To perform the installation, root access is required. Open the installer directory, make sure that install script has sufficient execute permissions and run it:

cd ./webmail-panel-installer chmod a+x ./installer ./installer -t pro -a install

The installer downloads WebMail Pro package and performs the basic product configuration. The default installation path is /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/afterlogic.

It is assumed that this is blank installation of WebMail on particular server. In case if existing WebMail installation is found in this folder, installation will be aborted. For upgrading existing installation, a different command is required:

./installer -t pro -a upgrade

While upgrading the existing installation, only files are replaced while all the database contents are kept intact, the database structure is updated if necessary. Thus, you won't lose any existing data created by previous installations of WebMail Lite. And if you choose to remove WebMail installation, that is done with:

./installer -a remove

Once the installation is complete, WebMail Pro can be accessed at http://domain.com/webmail/. Here, domain.com stands for any domain name hosted by the server (IP address can be used instead). Any customer can access WebMail Pro by adding /webmail/ to their domains. Once logged in, user will get full list of available webmail clients:

Note that you'll need email address created in cPanel to check mail, and you'll also need it to configure the product. To fine-tune WebMail Pro installation, first log in webmail screen as shown above, and then log in AdminPanel at the URL of the following kind:

http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/afterlogic/adminpanel/index.php

where domain.com can be any domain hosted by this cPanel server. Default AdminPanel credentials supplied by the installer are mailadm/12345 for username and password respectively.

Once entered the AdminPanel, you can replace the trial key (generated by the installer) with your permanent one, change the default password for AdminPanel access, and configure the product in any other way you like. This is, however, optional, as the installer sets up the product to the fully operational state.

Installing as cPanel addon

If you're a shared hosting client and just want to install WebMail Pro PHP for your domain on your hosting provider's cPanel server, you need to install WebMail Pro PHP as cPAddon within your cPanel WHM interface. See Installing as cPanel addon for details. To learn more about differences between embedded solution and cPAddon, refer to Compare cPanel integration methods. This way, you get your own installation of WebMail Pro, only for your domain. You'll need to purchase your own license, etc.

Please note that you'll need to install the product as cPanel addon only if your hosting provider hasn't already installed it through direct embedding for all its clients including you. The only reason to install your own local copy of WebMail Pro when it's already installed by the hosting provider is when you need to have total control over such installation, customize WebMail Pro interface, and so on.
