Installing Z-Push
======================
Requirements
------------
Z-Push runs on either PHP4 or PHP5.
Version prior to 1.2.2 require the 'Mail' package from PEAR.
Newer versions don't have this dependency anymore.
Additional informations can be found in the Zarafa Administrator Manual:
http://doc.zarafa.com/trunk/Administrator_Manual/en-US/html/index.html
How to install
--------------
To Install Z-Push, simply untar the z-push tar to your webroot,
e.g. with
tar -xzvf z-push-<version>.tar.gz -C /var/www
Now, edit the config.php file in the directory to reflect your local system.
For MAPI use with Zarafa, you needn't change any settings and should work
as-is.
Please also set your timezone in the config.php file.
Make sure that the 'state' directory is writeable for your webserver
process, so either change the owner of the 'state' directory to the UID of
your apache process, or make the directory world writeable:
chmod 777 /var/www/z-push/state
Now, you must configure Apache to redirect the URL
'Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync' to the index.php file in the Z-Push
directory. This can be done by adding the line
Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /var/www/z-push/index.php
to your httpd.conf file. Make sure that you are adding the line to the
correct part of your Apache configuration, taking care of virtual hosts and
other Apache configurations.
*WARNING* You CANNOT simply rename the z-push directory to
Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync. This will cause Apache to send redirects to the
PDA, which will definitely break your PDA synchronisation.
Lastly, make sure that PHP has the following settings:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
php_flag short_open_tag on
You can set this in the httpd.conf, in php.ini or in an .htaccess file in
the root of z-push. If you don't set this up correctly, you will not be
able to login correctly via z-push.
After doing this, you should be able to synchronize from your PDA.
Update to newer Z-Push versions
-------------------------------
Upgrading to a newer Z-Push version follows the same path as the initial
installation.
When upgrading to a new minor version e.g. from Z-Push 1.4 to Z-Push 1.4.1,
the existing Z-Push directory can be overwritten when extracting the archive.
When installing a new major version it is recommended to extract the tarball
to another directory and to copy the state from the existing installation.
IMPORTANT: It is crucial to always keep the data of the state directory in
order to ensure data consistency on already synchronized mobiles.
Without the state information mobile devices, which already have an ActiveSync
profile, will receive duplicate items or the synchronization will break completely.
Please also observe the published release notes of the new Z-Push version.
For some releases it is necessary to e.g. resynchronize the mobile.
Setting up your PocketPC
------------------------
This is simply a case of adding an 'exchange server' to your activesync
server list, specifying the IP address of the Z-Push apache server,
disabling SSL, unless you have already setup SSL on your Apache server,
setting the correct username & password (the domain is ignored, you can
simply specify 'domain' or some other random string), and then going through
the standard activesync settings.
Once you have done this, you should be able to synchronise your PocketPC
simply by clicking the 'Sync' button in ActiveSync on your PocketPC.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Most problems will be caused by incorrect Apache settings. To test whether
your Apache setup is working correctly, you can simply type the Z-Push URL
in your browser, to see if apache is correctly redirecting your request to
z-push. You can simply use:
http://<serverip>/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
If correctly configured, you should see a username/password request, and
when you specify a valid username & password, you should see a string like
"Your device requested the Z-Push URL without the required GET parameters"
If not, then check your PHP and Apache settings.
If you have other synchronisation problems, you can create the file
'debug.txt' in the root directory of z-push, which should also be
world-writable:
touch /var/www/z-push/debug.txt
chmod 777 /var/www/z-push/debug.txt
The debug.txt file will then collect debug information from your
synchronisation.
