Installing Ingo H5

Contact: ingo@lists.horde.org

This document contains instructions for installing the Ingo Email Filter Rules Manager.

For information on the capabilities and features of Ingo, see the file README in the top-level directory of the Ingo distribution.

To function properly, Ingo requires the following:

  1. A working Horde installation

    Ingo runs within the Horde Application Framework, a set of common tools for web applications written in PHP. You must install Horde before installing Ingo.

    Important

    Ingo H5 requires version 5.0+ of the Horde Framework - earlier versions of Horde will not work.

    Important

    Be sure to have completed all of the steps in the horde/doc/INSTALL file for the Horde Framework before installing Ingo. Many of Ingo's prerequisites are also Horde prerequisites. Additionally, many of Ingo's optional features are configured via the Horde install.

The RECOMMENDED way to install Ingo is using the PEAR installer. Alternatively, if you want to run the latest development code or get the latest not yet released fixes, you can install Ingo from Git.

First follow the instructions in horde/doc/INSTALL to prepare a PEAR environment for Horde and install the Horde Framework.

When installing Ingo through PEAR now, the installer will automatically install any dependencies of Ingo too. If you want to install Ingo with all optional dependencies, but without the binary PECL packages that need to be compiled, specify both the -a and the -B flag:

pear install -a -B horde/ingo

By default, only the required dependencies will be installed:

pear install horde/ingo

If you want to install Ingo even with all binary dependencies, you need to remove the -B flag. Please note that this might also try to install PHP extensions through PECL that might need further configuration or activation in your PHP configuration:

pear install -a horde/ingo

See http://www.horde.org/source/git.php

  1. Configuring Ingo

    You must login to Horde as a Horde Administrator to finish the configuration of Ingo. Use the Horde Administration menu item to get to the administration page, and then click on the Configuration icon to get the configuration page. Select Filters from the selection list of applications. Fill in or change any configuration values as needed. When done click on Generate Filters Configuration to generate the conf.php file. If your web server doesn't have write permissions to the Ingo configuration directory or file, it will not be able to write the file. In this case, go back to Configuration and choose one of the other methods to create the configuration file ingo/config/conf.php.

    Documentation on the format and purpose of the other configuration files in the config/ directory can be found in each file. You may create *.local.php versions of these files if you wish to customize Ingo's appearance and behavior. See the header of the configuration files for details and examples. The defaults will be correct for most sites.

    If you want to disable any of the special rules like blacklist, vacation, or spam, you can lock the according preferences in ingo/config/prefs.local.php.

  2. Creating the database table

    Once you finished the configuration in the previous step, you can create all database tables by clicking the DB schema is out of date. link in the Ingo row of the configuration screen.

    Alternatively you creating the Ingo database tables can be accomplished with horde's horde-db-migrate utility. If your database is properly setup in the Horde configuration, just run the following:

    horde/bin/horde-db-migrate ingo
    

Some people experienced problems with Ingo's Sieve driver and Cyrus 2.1.12. The "addflag/removeflag" Sieve commands can cause message copies sticking in Cyrus' message queues producing "virtual memory exhausted" errors. It was reported that upgrading to version 2.1.15 has fixed this problem.
