This is a pre-release of

Uebimiau 3.2.0 - revision 2.0
June, 2009

Notes:
There are many things experimental at this point so consider this a unstable version for testing only
your feedback is welcome 


INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------

1- Unpack the compressed file and copy the "webmail" directory into the root of your web folder

2- Make the "inc" directory and subdirectories "Writable", if you decide to move your database 
to another location or rename it, the folder where it resides has to be writable along with the 
config and backups folder

these directories need to be writable 

Webmail_root

/inc/config/
/inc/database/      "or new database location"
/admin/

typically just make the /inc/ and /admin/ folder 777 and it should work, if on windows it should work
fine 

3- Type "http://your webmail address" to access Uebimiau and start the installation
if the webmail has not been installed before the installation will start, if it has you will be able to 
log in normally. 


4- During the installation if you want more than one mail server click the multiple domains, 
then on tab 2 click add, fill out the page then click save, for another server click add again
you will notice the drop down to edit each of your servers before going on to the smtp tab,

make sure you set an admin name and password in the security tab, this allows for you to get back 
into the install or the admin after the installation is over. You can get back into the admin 
through the preferences page by clicking on the small icon at the bottom right of the page, 
use the name and password you set up in the install to change any settings for your mail server   

5- When the installation is completed, choose "LogIn Here" to access your mailbox

6- Log to your e-mail account with mailbox name and password.

several new features have been added to the admin and are considered experimental

you can now edit all of the config files through the admin

* a file manager has been added but not tested extensively, do not edit files thought it at this point

* a backup program has been added but keep in mind that it uses php and you will need to set your php.ini
  according to the file size being backed up, currently all you can do is download the file, backing up the 
  whole webmail could be slow

Languages 
* I haven't fixed an issue in the languages of the chat yet so whatever your language is should be listed at the top 
  of the config.language.php file or edit languages in the admin 
  you should add it to the config.chat.php also 
  $chat_language= "en_US"; no extensions and all of your language files should be translated, not just the .txt file

  we have added several language files for different scripts added to Uebimiau, each language will have 
  the following files example:

  Install- en_US.php   "installation Language"
  Main- en_US.txt   "Main Uebimiau Mail Language"
  Help- en_US-help.txt   "help file on the top bar"
  PHPmailer- phpmailer.lang-en.php   "mail error messages"

  So far only English and French Languages are current!

* as the install finishes these files are created or edited

/inc/config/config.paths.php              "paths to your webmail, *** important, these have to be correct ***
/inc/config/config.php                    "Default settings for your webmail" 
/inc/config/config.mail.php               "settings to connect to your mail server" 
database location /system_admin/admin.ucf "admin password file"
database location /system_admin/logs.ucf  "admin log file"
database location /chat/                  "directory in the database were the chat files are stored" 
database location /chat/chatdata.ucf      "chat data file"
database location /chat/online.ucf        "chat online file"
database location /chat/uploads/          "directory in the database were the chat upload files are stored" 
database location /cached_templates/      "smarty cache folder"


after you have installed the webmail, 3 backup files will be created in case you need to restore back to the 
previous installation, you can access these file through the install a second time /admin/install/
log in and click the restore 


/inc/config/config.paths.php.bak              
/inc/config/config.php.bak                    
/inc/config/config.mail.php.bak 


TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------------------------
	you can manually install this version editing the following files
	/config/
	config.paths.php
	config.php
	config.mail.php
	
	you can create a dummy admin password file using this it will be user admin password admin
	rename the file admin.ucf.bak to admin.ucf in the /inc/database/system_admin folder after editing the config files 
	and the mail  will go to the login screen

	To access manually the installation program: http://your webmail address/admin/install
	if you need to access the admin directly: http://your webmail address/admin/index.php



A:	There were problems during the installation
A:	If you encounter problems during the installation you may restart the installation procedure
	to correct the problem. The installation will automatically restart if the process did reach 
	the end. Once the procedure is completed, you should use the Administrator name and password
	set during the installation to restart the procedure.

	To access manually the installation program: http://your webmail address/admin/install
	if you need to access the admin directly: http://your webmail address/admin/admin.php

Q:	Weird characters are displayed with non English languages
A:	You shall check that your server supports the selected languages with the appropriate sets of 
	characters

A:	The date format is not correct with the selected language (eg. mm-dd-yyyy instead of dd-mm-aaaa)
Q:	Uebimiau automatically uses the appropriate LOCALES with the selected language. Check the 
	availability of LOCALES for the selected language on your server (eg. using the locale -a command). 
	Sometimes the LOCALES may have a different name, if so, update the inc/config/config.languages.php.
