7. Compiling CryptoMail

  • Go back to Cryptomail directory by typing "cd ../CryptoMail-1.0.0A/Server".
  • Execute the config.sh batch file, "./config.sh"
  • Answer the questions that will come up. You can accept the default for some of the answers. For those that are non-default, the following are correct for Linux Mandrake 10.1 with Apache and MySQL and sendmail installed as specified earlier.
    • Qualified host name: <yourdomainname>
    • MySQL base installed /usr/bin
    • MySQL libraries: /usr/lib/mysql
    • MySQL include files: /usr/include/mysql
    • Apachi cgi running as: nobody (default)
    • Apache insecure htdocs: /var/www/html
    • Apache secure htdocs: /var/www/html
    • Apache insecure cgi-bin: /var/www/cgi-bin
    • Crypto MySQL user: crypto
    • MySQL CryptoMail user password: <choose password>
    • Crypto MySQL metabase host: localhost
    • Meta CryptoMail database: MetaCryptoMail
    • CryptoMail database: CryptoMail
    • MySQL running as unix or tcp/ip: u
    • Domain for Mail: yourdomain.net
    • Bifts pages from: something@yourdomain.net
    • Maximum number of active sessions any one time: 1000
    • Maximum number of active sessions any one time per user: 5
    • MySQL command line executable: /usr/bin/mysql
    • MySQL command to start mysql: /usr/bin
    • MySQL administrator password: [not necessary]
    • Install CRON jobs as part of install: Yes
    • Sendmail directory that contains cf.m4: /usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4
    • Sendmail directory that contains m4: /usr/share/sendmail-cf
  • If successful, CryptoMail.cf will be created. Copy "cryptomail.cf" to "/etc" and rename this file as "sendmail.cf"
  • If unsuccessful you will see an error messaging telling you that CryptoMail.cf was not automatically generated and that you would have to generate one yourself. This is difficult if your linux system is handling other mail jobs as you have to get CryptoMail and your existing mail service to work together. However, if your system’s sendmail is only for CryptoMail then simply use the attached sendmail.cf file and copy it as etc/sendmail.cf. You will need to replace yourdomain.net in the file with your own domain name.
  • After completing the above, at the command prompt type, "make; make install"
