If it doesn't work for you, please post a new topic in our forum: http://www.iredmail.org/forum/

Some notes:

• It works with both iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL and iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP.
• Please replace 'iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z' below with your real edition and version numbers. e.g. iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.2.1, or iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-1.6.1.

Requirements and Notes

• This tutorial is applicable to iRedMail-0.7.0 and later versions. If you're using iRedMail-0.6.1 or earlier versions, please refer to this tutorial.
• You MUST select to install iRedAdmin open source edition during iRedMail installation.
• This tutorial works for both iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP and iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL.

Summary

It's easy to migrate from iRedAdmin open source edition to iRedAdmin-Pro. Steps:

• Upload or copy iRedAdmin-Pro to your server which has iRedMail running. We assume you uploaded it to /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-xxx.tar.bz2.
• Uncompress iRedAdmin-Pro to apache server root directory.
• Copy config file from open source edition. We assume you're using iRedAdmin-0.1.4 (open source edition) in this tutorial, it's shipped in iRedMail-0.7.0.
• Set correct file permission for iRedAdmin-Pro.
• Restart apache web server.
• [OPTIONAL] Enable quarantining in Amavisd and restart amavisd service.

Upload or copy iRedAdmin-Pro to your server

Upload or copy iRedAdmin-Pro to your server which has iRedMail running. We assume you uploaded it to /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-x.y.z.tar.bz2 or /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-x.y.z.tar.bz2.

Uncompress iRedAdmin-Pro, copy config file, set correct file permission, restart apache

• For RHEL/CentOS:

# tar xjf /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/
# cd /var/www/
# rm -i /var/www/iredadmin                 # <- this is a symbol link, it will prompt you to type 'y' to confirm.
# ln -s iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z iredadmin
# cp -p iRedAdmin-0.1.4/settings.ini iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/

# chown -R iredadmin:iredadmin iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/              # <- Set correct file permission for iRedAdmin-Pro.
# chmod -R 0555 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z
# chmod -R 0400 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/settings.ini

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart            # <- Restart apache web server

• For Debian/Ubuntu:

# tar xjf /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/apache2/
# cd /usr/share/apache2/
# rm -i /usr/share/apache2/iredadmin                 # <- this is a symbol link, it will prompt you to type 'y' to confirm.
# ln -s iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z iredadmin
# cp -p iRedAdmin-0.1.4/settings.ini iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/

# chown -R iredadmin:iredadmin iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/              # <- Set correct file permission for iRedAdmin-Pro.
# chmod -R 0555 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z
# chmod -R 0400 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/settings.ini

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart            # <- Restart apache web server

• For openSUSE:

# tar xjf /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z.tar.bz2 -C /srv/www/
# cd /srv/www/
# rm -i /srv/www/iredadmin                 # <- this is a symbol link, it will prompt you to type 'y' to confirm.
# ln -s iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z iredadmin
# cp -p iRedAdmin-0.1.4/settings.ini iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/

# chown -R iredadmin:iredadmin iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/              # <- Set correct file permission for iRedAdmin-Pro.
# chmod -R 0555 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z
# chmod -R 0400 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/settings.ini

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart            # <- Restart apache web server

• For FreeBSD:

# tar xjf /root/iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local/www/
# cd /usr/local/www/
# rm -i /usr/local/www/iredadmin                 # <- this is a symbol link, it will prompt you to type 'y' to confirm.
# ln -s iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z iredadmin
# cp -p iRedAdmin-0.1.4/settings.ini iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/

# chown -R iredadmin:iredadmin iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/              # <- Set correct file permission for iRedAdmin-Pro.
# chmod -R 0555 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z
# chmod -R 0400 iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/settings.ini

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2 restart          # <- Restart apache web server

Quarantining SPAMs and manage them with iRedAdmin-Pro

Note: This step is OPTIONAL. You can apply it if you want to quarantine SPAM mails into MySQL database, then delete or release them with iRedAdmin-Pro.

iRedMail-0.7.0 has quarantining related settings pre-configured, but users can't manage quarantined mails without iRedAdmin-Pro, so quarantining is disabled by default.

Since iRedAdmin-Pro supports releasing and deleting quarantined mails, you can easily enable quarantining with below tutorial. (Don't worry, it's easy enough.)
