Zimbra mail exchange port for FreeBSD
Ad
Hi, is anyone working on a FreeBSD port of Zimbra? I am just wondering as I am more in favor of using FreeBSD then Linux and currently I run an old version of Zimbra on CentOS, which I would like to upgrade to a version running on FreeBSD. I know a few years ago some work was being done on this subject but it looks as though there still isn't anything substantial; can anyone fill me in as to the progress/status of this? Regards, Kaya

Have you looked at @mail ? (atmail) I see one in ports, looks like 1.0.4 is in ports, and 1.0.5 is available: www.atmail.org (they have a licensed exchange 'push' option I think. its not opensource, the push thing is patented by ms.
Never tried Atmail....
Just checked it out though and looks cool, even Thunderbird
integration which is good.
Will try it out and see, though would need to work out a migration
plan between Zimbra to it.
As long as it's FREE it should be ok :-)
Thanks for the suggestion will just need to work out if can integrate it.

am just attempting a Vbox FreeBSD @Mail install now.
Can't get passed the "Create Database" portion of things; I get this
error in the browser:

Not sure what is happening..... like you said perhaps it's just worth
contacting the port maintainer and seeing what can be done with it.
Will be good to compare both this and Zimbra and then see if @mail is
easier to migrate/update as Zimbra is a bit tricky - especially between
32bit to 64bit.

Kaya

The base URL doesn't even display. The standard php5 port works best but
bombs out at the "create DB" screen.

Unfortunately the upgrade didn't work either.... I didn't have PEAR
previously - I have installed now but still no luck in getting it to work.
However, in the meantime I have been contacted by the package maintainer
who is looking at the issue and the port upgrade.

Kaya

Furthermore, there is nothing stopping anyone from contacting or joining the zimbra thread to update it or collaborate with others. I used Zimbra for a long time, and on FreeBSD, when they had distributed packages for it. Unfortunately, they aren't doing it now, but it was done. -jgh

Hi,On 2-5-2012 16:47, Kaya Saman wrote: > is anyone working on a FreeBSD port of Zimbra?I´ve been working on a port of Zarafa which should provide the same features. The hold up is currently my computer issues and the fact that I am in the process of setting up a second environment to test the LDAP user connector with. If you don't use that feature, the port should be functional, just rough on the edges (it might leave some files behind after deinstall and it needs one or two more rc scripts). https://redports.org/browser/melflynn/mail/za... https://redports.org/browser/melflynn/mail/za... https://redports.org/browser/melflynn/devel/z...
