Install Rainloop on PHP 5.6 on Debian 8 LAMP

Step-1: Install LAMP on Debian

I’ve used a bash script to install LAMP. You may find it useful.

#!/bin/bash

Step-2: Download and Install Rainloop

# mkdir /var/www/rainloop 
# cd /var/www/webmail
# wget http://repository.rainloop.net/v1/rainloop-1.6.3.715-f96ed936916b7f3d9039819323c591b9.zip
# unzip rainloop-1.6.3.715-f96ed936916b7f3d9039819323c591b9.zip
# rm rainloop-*.zip

or alternate installation:

You can also download the latest version of RainLoop application without a need to deal with zip archive, just use the following command in your terminal.

# curl -s http://repository.rainloop.net/installer.php | php

Step-3: securing and permission:

Please switch to application directory i.e. ‘/var/www/rainloop‘ or ‘/var/www/html/rainloop‘ and execute following commands thereon.

# find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
# find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Now, set owner for the application recursively.

chown -R www-data:www-data .

Step-4: Configure RainLoop via Admin Interface

There are two ways to configure the RainLoop application – using admin panel, or by modifying ‘application.ini‘ file manually from the terminal. But, most of the basic options are configured via web interface, and that should suffix in most cases. To access admin panel, use the following default login credentials.

URL : http://Your-IP-Address/rainloop/?admin
User : admin
Pass : 12345
