Summary

This installation guide is used to install iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Scientific Linux. Both 5.x and 6.x are supported.
iRedAdmin-Pro is official web-based admin panel for iRedMail. There're three editions available:
- iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP: works with OpenLDAP backend.
- iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL: works with MySQL backend.
- iRedAdmin-Pro-PGSQL: works with PostgreSQL backend.

System requirements

iRedMail-0.8.0 or later releases. If you're looking for installation guide for iRedMail-0.7.4 or eailier releases, please go to this tutorial instead.
iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.3.0 or later releases.

Required Packages. They all are installed automatically during iRedMail installation.
- Apache, 2.2+. Web server.
  - mod_wsgi 2.1+. Apache module used to host Python application which supports the Python WSGI interface.
- Python 2.4+, core programming language. Warning: Python 3.x is not supported yet.
  - Web.py, 0.32+. A python-powered web framework.
  - MySQLdb. A thread-compatible interface to the popular MySQL database server that provides the Python database API.

iRedAdmin will run with a low-privileged system user: iredadmin, which is created automatically during iRedMail installation, too.

Download iRedAdmin and configure Apache web server

Get iRedAdmin:
- If you purchased iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL, you should already have it. If not, please mail to support@ iredmail.org to get a download link.
- If you didn't purchase iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL, download iRedAdmin open source edition from download page.

Copy iRedAdmin to /var/www/, set correct file permissions, and create symbol link.

Terminal:

# tar xjf iRedAdmin-x.y.z.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/
# cd /var/www/
# chown -R iredadmin:iredadmin iRedAdmin-x.y.z
# chmod -R 0755 iRedAdmin-x.y.z
# ln -s iRedAdmin-x.y.z iredadmin

Add apache configure file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/iredadmin.conf.

File: /etc/httpd/conf.d/iredadmin.conf

WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess iredadmin user=iredadmin threads=15
WSGIProcessGroup iredadmin

AddType text/html .py

<Directory /var/www/iredadmin/>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf, make iredadmin accessable via HTTPS. Add below lines before </VirtualHost>:

File: /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

WSGIScriptAlias /iredadmin /var/www/iredadmin/iredadmin.py/
Alias /iredadmin/static /var/www/iredadmin/static/

Restart apache to enable mod_wsgi:

Terminal:

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Create necessary MySQL database and grant privileges

Create MySQL database: iredadmin. Used to store sessions, admin operation logs, etc.

Terminal:

# mysql -uroot -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE iredadmin DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
mysql> USE iredadmin;
mysql> SOURCE /var/www/iredadmin/docs/samples/iredadmin.sql;

Grant privileges to iredadmin user and set password for it.

WARNING: Here we use 'plain_passwd' as password of iredadmin user, please replace it with your own password.

Terminal:

# mysql -uroot -p
mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON iredadmin.* TO iredadmin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'plain_passwd';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Configure iRedAdmin

The major config file of iRedAdmin is file /var/www/iredadmin/settings.ini.

Copy example config file, and set correct file permission.

Terminal:

# cd /var/www/iredadmin/
# cp settings.ini.mysql.sample settings.ini
# chown iredadmin:iredadmin settings.ini
# chmod 0400 settings.ini

NOTE: If you are installing iRedAdmin-Pro, and have iRedAdmin open source edition installed, you can simply copy settings.ini from open source edition. Don't forget to set correct file owner and permission after copied.

Edit settings.ini.

NOTE:

- All required usernames/passwords are stored in iRedMail.tips which generated during iRedMail installation, placed under iRedMail directory. e.g. /root/iRedMail-0.8.0/iRedMail.tips.
- For more inforamtion, please open settings.ini, it's self-documented.

File: settings.ini

[general]
# General settings ...

[iredadmin]
# Database "iredadmin". required by iRedAdmin.

[vmaildb]
# Database "vmail", stored all mail accounts.

[policyd]
# Database "policyd". Required for policyd integration.

[amavisd]
# Database "amavisd". Required for Amavisd-New integration. includes spam quarantining/releasing.

Restart apache web server.

Terminal:

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Open your web browser to access iRedAdmin: https://your_server_ip_address/iredadmin/
- NOTE: Make sure you use HTTPS:// instead of HTTP://.

Troubleshooting

If iRedAdmin doesn't work as expected, you can set debug = True in settings.ini to turn on debug mode, restart apache web server, use your favourite web browser to access it again, create a new forum topic and paste error message in forum topic.
