Compiling IMAP support into Directadmin's PHP   PDF  Print  E-mail 
Written by wunk

Compiling PHP yourself with custom options can still be a pain in the ass.., the Directadmin devs made it quite easy to add custom options to the apache/php compile, you just have to know how to do it :-)

The PHP with IMAP option is asked quite often due some webmail packages needing it..

Get the imap* RPM's from one of the RedHat or Fedora mirrors.., if you run Redhat 9.., next set of commands should work:

rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/imap*

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
rm -f configure.php
./build clean
./build update

Open up the freshly downloaded configure.php, and modify the last part:
add a to the last line and then add imap:
--enable-track-vars
--with-imap

Save that file, then do:
./build php

Answer yes to all rebuild questions to make sure you're up to date on all packages, then once it finishes do a: service httpd restart

You should have imap support then.., quick way to check:
create a file in /var/www/html/ called phpinfo.php with the following lines:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then go to: http://your.ip.address/phpinfo.php
And you should be able to see the freshly compiled IMAP with that info..

Good luck :-)
