Your need to change config.inc.php and change the value of DOMAIN_AS_PREFIX to 1. then you need to add
»unixhierarchysep: yes« to your <TT

>/etc/imapd.conf</TT

The username and password must exist in MySQL on table accountuser.
Web-cyradm will not complain if the cyrus login info is incorrect.

gettext is needed for NLS (Native Language Support) which means
contributors can easily translate web-cyradm to there language. Fill in your Language in the file
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/local/apache/htdocs/web-cyradm/locale/templates/web-cyradm.pot</TT
> and send me
the file, then your language will be supported in the next CVS snapshot</P

> Web-cyradm depends on PEAR for database abstraction. PEAR is included in recent PHP versions. Often
PEAR is a separate package, check out the package base of your distribution. I strongly suggest to update
to the most recent version of PHP anyway, because a lot of bugs have been fixed.</P

Unfortunately LDAP is very hard to set up. You have to make proper schemes etc. MySQL is the
way strait ahead, it is very easy to handle and versatile. There is a PAM module available
for LDAP, feel free to use it.

> Lots of people like to see such a setup with Qmail. The reason why is, Mysql-support is a hack and not in the
included in the main source-tree. This could end up in a bad situation. Think if a security-hole is found in qmail
and the patch does not work with the corrected version. Postfix is supporting MySQL natively.
Another (personal) reason is that I find Postfix more sympatic (I don't know why)

FreeBSD is reported working fine. AIX has problems with at least PHP. Please report if you got it running
on other platform, so I can update this section.
