Update/install latest RoundCube on cPanel

First you will have to uninstall/remove exiting RoundCube files/folder/database on your server,

• Uninstall/remove exiting RoundCube

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base
rm -rf roundcube*
mysql -e 'drop database roundcube';
/scripts/upcp

Now follow the following steps to  update/install latest roundcube  version ,we need to get Roundcube before we can use it. The easiest way to get it is to visit http://www.roundcube.net and click on “Downloads” or just go to http://roundcube.net/downloads. Wait for it to download and then unzip (using WinZip or ZipGenius or tar -xzf roundcubemail-0.1.tar.gz) in the current directory.

• update/install latest roundcube

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base
wget -O roundcube.tar.gz http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
roundcubemail/roundcubemail-0.2.1.tar.gz
rm -rf roundcube.tar.gz
mv -f roundcubemail-0.2.1/ roundcube
cd roundcube
chmod -R 777 temp
chmod -R 777 logs

• Database Configuration

Create the database, database user and install the intial sql file. The following commands will do this for you.

mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE roundcube;"
mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcube.* TO roundcube@localhost IDENTIFIED BY
'DATABASEPASSWORD';"
mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
mysql -e "use roundcube; source SQL/mysql.initial.sql;"

You will have to replace the roundcube password with ‘DATABASEPASSWORD’ field.

• Configuring RoundCube

cd config
mv db.inc.php.dist db.inc.php
mv main.inc.php.dist main.inc.php

then open database configruation file  db.inc.php in your favroite editor like vi or pico or nano
vi db.inc.php
Find following line

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:pass@localhost/roundcubemail';

Replace it with

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:DATABASEPASSWORD@localhost/roundcube';

Now Open main.inc.php

vi main.inc.php

Find

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = '';

Replace with

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';

Last steps , restart the mysql, cpanel services on your server. That’s it ,Have fun with your new Roundcube installation!!
