Hi folks, If it doesn't exists yet I would like to open a bounty for $100 to get an install script to make the initial installation of horde and it's modules. I'll go to $500 for a web based, full featured install engine and I'm willing to play an active role in the development, not the code because I'm a code dummy but I'm pretty good in user interfaces. Just tell me how this can be done? Greetz Filips

Sounds like a great bounty. Can you give some more details what you would like to see the installer handle, steps that would be covered, what level of install/config should be available, etc?

Sat, 24 Apr 2004 15:13:44 +0000

The picture I have is the following: Let's start as a new user (new installation) 1. You download a kind of small script and run it on your server. 2. The script will download an initial install module and install it so you get a kind of install/admin page via web. 3. When browsing to that page you can select the modules you want and click an "install/update" button 4. All requirements are checked, and the user is presented with a list of things to be done before install 5. The user can check all items he wishes to "fixed" with a checkbox and click an "install/update" button 6. The install module will take care of all these things like changing the php.ini, load pear modules, etc ... 7. Then the modules will automatically downloaded and installed with default parameters (some of those can be entered in the install script) 8. After the install module has finished, Horde, Imp and all other selected modules should be working in an initial way. 9. Then the existing setup module can take over And now ... if there is an existing installation 1. Click an "update" button 2. User will be presented with a list of things that can be updated 3. User checks the wanted checkboxes and click an "Update" button. 4. Everything will be updated automatically. In both cases service restarts should be performed automatically when asked to do that. As an example of the way it could work, have a look at the way Webmin does this. (www.webmin.com) If I find someone who will do the programming, I will provide the specs and layout. Greetz Filips P.S. As a kind of goodwill I'm willing to pay a part up in front.

I've got some code which does the initial setup for a 'Horde IMP' webmail system, but one still needs to manually configure the modules. Would a 'dialog' type menu system be useful for selecting I want to extract say imp and kronolith and turba. I'm going to add code to get the script to download the distfiles from ftp://ftp.horde.org/

Hi Jaques, Thanks for reacting on my proposal. I have created a web layout which makes it pretty clear what I have in mind. I can do the web stuff if you could do the coding. Let's team up. Attached you can find the web code. Greetz Filips

go-horde.php script Attached to this page is the go-horde

Sun, 10 Oct 2004 18:27:07 +0000

go-horde.php script Attached to this page is the go-horde script. It is an ALPHA level php script that installs Horde using the MySQL database backend. This script must be run as the root user. It has only been tested on Fedora Core 3 test 1. It uses the Horde provided defaults and it is suggested that you change the horde database password after it is installed. There are many limitations, so please read through the script before executing it. By default it will install: Framework, Horde, Turba, Imp, Nag, Kronolith, Mnemo, Wicked. Here are the steps: - download the go-horde.php script - ensure the Apache and MySQL servers are running - Run the script like this: php go-horde.php - Answer the questions regarding where to put it,etc. - Run the install-packages.php script: php framework/install-packages.php - Ensure you have the required items, go to http://www.example.com/horde/test.php This will show what pieces are still missing from php, pear or whatever. www.example.com isn't a real address, use your ip address here. Use: pear install to install any missing pear modules. - After loading all the missing modules (you may need to restart your Apache server) go to http://www.example.com/horde/ - Choose the Configuration from the menu on the left and configure the modules that you are installing. Hint: Selecting a module to configure then pressing Generate will create a working default install - After things are configured the way you would like, run the bash script set_perms.sh to tighten security for the site

Hi barjunk, Thanks for working on this project. Unfortunately I don't have much time right now and will have to look at it later, probably in a few weeks. In the meanwhile please keep working on it and enhance it as much as you can. Then we can go through it and enhance it to create a newbie-proof peace of art. Greetz and thanks again

Ok, I saw where I have to confirm my bounty. However, I have a question: when I pay the 700 US$ via PayPal, who can tell me when this project will be finished and if it wil be what I want? I will pay 700 US$ for that what I ask for and I want to prove it but I will not sign a blank cheque ;-). Any input is welcome.

To avoid duplicate work and creating a soon to be obsolete installer, the install script should be implemented as post-install script for PEAR 1.4.0. Everything else could be done through the PEAR installer. See http://greg.chiaraquartet.net/ for details.

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 07:29:38 +0000

Looks like not much has happened with the installer. I'm not clear on what you were thinking with regard to the URL that is posted. My goal was to get the minimal packages loaded so that we could use the gui to finish the install. Maybe add a module that would allow HEAD versions of other modules to be installed right from the gui as well.

There seems to be not too much interest in such an installer

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 12:51:53 +0000

There seems to be not too much interest in such an installer. I just thought that it would make Horde more attractive and easy to install so more people would use it. But ... I guess that I have to install my the new version step by step again. Thanks to all of you guys who have spend time in this. BTW the offer stands.
