Quote:Z-Push - open source push technology
Z-Push is an implementation of the ActiveSync protocol which is used 'over-the-air' for multi platform ActiveSync devices, including Windows Mobile, iPhone, Sony Ericsson and Nokia mobile devices. With Z-Push any groupware can be connected and synced with these devices.

1. Download Z-push to the web-root directory of your server from http://z-push.sourceforge.net
   Code:
   

   cd /var/www/virtual/mydomain.org/htdocs
wget http://download.berlios.de/z-push/z-push-1.5.5-790.tar.gz  #current as of 2011-10-25
   NOTE: the above download site goes down permanently Dec 31, 2011 info here
2. Extract the tarball into your web-root directory. (It will extract into it's own directory 'z-push')
   Code:
   

   tar -xvzf z-push-1.5.5-790.tar.gz
3. Find out who the owner of your web-root is, and give correct ownership of the z-push folder and contents.
   Code:
   

   ls -la  #see that the other files are owned by "vu2001" or similar
chown -R vu2001:vu2001 #change "vu2001" to your requirements
4. Read the INSTALL file in the new z-push subdirectory. Keep that information in mind while you follow along here and get all the extra steps required.
   Code:
   

   cd z-push
cat INSTALL | more
5. Check your timezone first:
   Code:
   

   cat /etc/timezone
(or browse the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory and subdirectories)
   then edit the config.php file (and do the optional bits by default)
   
   Code:
   

   nano config.php
   change line 45 to reflect your time zone:
   Code:
   

   date_default_timezone_set("MyRegion/MyCity");
   optionally increase max attachment size on line 66 (i used 10MB):
   Code:
   

   define('MAX_EMBEDDED_SIZE', 10485760);
   optionally enable loose provisioning for certain and older devices by changing line 75 to read:
   Code:
   

   define('LOOSE_PROVISIONING', true);
   change line 95 to read:
   Code:
   

   $BACKEND_PROVIDER = "BackendIMAP";
   optionally change line 116 to read:
   Code:
   

   define('IMAP_OPTIONS', '/notls/norsh/ssl/novalidate-cert');
6. Edit index.php to avoid open_basedir errors
   Code:
   

   nano index.html
   Change line 131 to read:
   Code:
   

   $subdirfile = BASE_PATH . "/backend/" . $entry . ".php";
7. Make the state folder writeable
   Code:
   

   chmod 777 state
8. Make a .htaccess file to fix some problems with authentication:
   Code:
   

   nano .htaccess
   add these lines:
   Code:
   

   RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_MS_ASPROTOCOLVERSION:%{HTTP:Ms-Asprotocolversion}]
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_X_MS_POLICYKEY:%{HTTP:X-Ms-Policykey}]
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
9. Edit the apache config to redirect the ActiveSync URL
   Code:
   

   nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispcp.conf
   for the virtual host's domain name that you are using, find the line:
   
   Code:
   

   # httpd [MyDomain.org] dmn entry BEGIN.
   look down 13 more lines and see:
   
   Code:
   

   Alias /errors   /var/www/virtual/MyDomain.org/errors/
   right below that line, add:
   Code:
   

   Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync      /var/www/virtual/MyDomain.org/htdocs/z-push/index.php
10. Reload the apache config
    Code:
    

    /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Quote:Logging can produce a LOT of unregulated output, so remember to disable logging when you get things working (or remember to disable it when you are wondering why there is no disk space left on that mountpoint!)
