NutsMail (http://www.nutsmail.com) is an advanced skin for SquirrelMail that can be fully integrated into cPanel on a global level. While it's not free, it's well worth the money and your clients will love you!

Instead of writing a lengthy HOWTO with step-by-step instructions, it would make more sense to just provide two shell scripts that will do the job automatically. I'm not the best at writing shell scripts, so if you can do a better job - then do it! :)

Instructions:

1) Upload the NutsMail archive to your server, then create a file called nutsmail.sh and paste the (above) desired shell script into it.

2) cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi.bak

3) sh nutsmail.sh

4) You will then be asked to enter in the exact location to your NutsMail archive.

5) After you enter in the exact location, hit enter and you should see a long list of files being extracted and a bunch of modifications taking place.

6) Assuming no error messages were present, you should now be able to access cPanel's webmail interface where NutsMail has been installed.

---

Known Issues:

1) cPanel cannot parse XML files, so the WYSIWG editor is broken by default. I'm writing a shell script to fix this, however it'll only work for IE... A workaround for FireFox is still being looked into?

2) If you have cPanel set to automatically update, there is a good chance that the modifications made to webmaillogin.cgi will be lost. You can try the following workaround:

Linux: chattr +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi
FreeBSD: chflags schg /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi

3) These modifications will only work for cPanel v10 - not cPanel v11 (EDGE?). I'm still working on new shell scripts for cPanel v11 which should be out soon...

---

Disclaimer:

While I have used both of these scripts to install NutsMail on numerous servers without any issues, I take absolutely no responsibility for any damage that may occur!

Have a Problem?

Post any issues you may encounter here, and I'll do my best to help you out... within reason of course. :)

i e-mailed these guys to see if there software would work with RVskins. They never answered. Would you happen to know?

Plus i am running Edge so if and when you get it to worrk properly let em know.

thanks
tumble

If you replace SquirrelMail with NutsMail, then by default it will work with RVSkin. In order to have it work alongside SquirrelMail, the theme(s) will have to be manually modified.

Once the EDGE scripts are complete, I will post them here. :)

i dont think i would want to replace completly since clients already have data in the SQMail mail system. And i am unsure how to transfer that data into a seperate E-mal package. If you have any thoughts on that proccess please let em know.

What themes are you saying need to be modded the SQMail or the RVskins?

Thanks for your work in this area. Always nice to see someone go the extra mile just to help others out.

tumble

Part of my shell script modifies NutsMail to use the default SquirrelMail setup without any loss of data. Even if you run NutsMail alongside SquirrelMail, they are both ultimately using the same settings, address book and email folders.

As for the themes, if you decide to have NutsMail alongside SquirrelMail then a link would have to be added to the "Read Webmail" section. However, that section is only for the cPanel login - not individual email accounts (if that makes sense). IMO, it's a useless feature anyway. :)

Since RVSkin is actually using cPanel's webmail interface, then these shell scripts will still work without any issues.

Pat,

Thanks again for your hard work. You are correct in that RVskins uses cpanels webmail interface. RVskins links into the X3 series for the webmail interface.

As far as modifying the themes it a seems if NutsMail uses the default SquirrelMail set-up then the script would be spot perferct the way it is intented. IE replacing SQMail with NutsMail.
Pretty exciting stuff for sure.

Ill post my results here :

I have tried to installed this, but failed two times before I got it rigth. My first 2 fails were due to me enetering only the directory path (/home/user/) to the archive rather then (/home/user/archive.tgz)

Third time I got it right.

It installed itself just fine. However, When I log into webmail I get these options:

Horde - Squirrelmail - Nutsmail - Nutsmail - Nutsmail

I believe it has to do with my 2 failing and modification to webmaillogin.cgi . So I then recopied the backup webmaillogin.cgi.

Now I only have the se options :

Horde - Squirrelmail

However, even if I dont have Nutsmail, the skin for quirrelmail is working.

Another thing, when I enter : domain.com/webmail , I get a log in popup. I enter my credential, which takes me to a page with Horde and Squirrelmail for option. When I choose squirrelmail, I am taken to another login page but this time it is the nutsmail screen. Any way to avoid these multiple login ?

Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I'm going to modify the shell scripts above to stop the installation if the archive path is incorrect, or it will (as in your case) create multiple entries under the webmail interface.

As for the double login, that would be due to login_auth not being found on your installation. I'm not sure why that is since it's standard with all SquirrelMail packages in cPanel.

Could you run the following:
ls -la /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/

Also, which shell script did you use? The one to replace SquirrelMail or the one to add NutsMail alongside it?

camay123 have you already installed RoundCube?

Check attributes of webmaillogin.cgi and other file and directories.

I have found the solution to my login problem.

I copied /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.cpanel/plugins/login_auth/

to

/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/

And it is now login without asking twice for identification.

Nevermind.

oops...cannot edit previous message, so here it goes:

After the Cpanel11 update, nutsmail was gone.

I redid the first script and it did not work. I got two errors:

Unable to "mv squirrelmail squirrelmail.cpanel"
Unable to to create webmaillogin.cgi : permission denied.

So I did this :

mv /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.cpanel10

Redid first script, Skin is back. However still got the error:


Please wait...

cp: cannot create regular file `webmaillogin.cgi': Permission denied

Installation finished!

So I guess that the last mod of webmaillogin.cgi did not work, Since at the login screen I dont see any changes.

Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for confirming that the script above does work for cPanel 11. A developer from cPanel originally told me that it wouldn't work, however I never actually tested it until a few minutes ago.

As for the permission denied error, that would be due to the chattr +i flag that is set to prevent any changes to the file during cPanel updates. If you are replacing SquirrelMail with NutsMail then you don't need to remove the flag. However, if for some reason you do need to remove the flag, run the following:

chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi

Then to turn it back on:

chattr +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi

As today Release version of cPanel 11 has been released, more confirmation may pour in.

Well, I came back this morning, and squirrelmail was back to it's original form. Would that be cause by the cpanel automatic overnigth update ?

Hi Patrick,
If you run the following command it should prevent cPanel from replacing NutsMail with the default SquirrelMail:

chattr -R +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

Make sure you run the above command after NutsMail has been reinstalled.

The first shell script to replace SquirrelMail with NutsMail has been updated:

- If the NutsMail archive does not exist, the shell script will exit and nothing further will be done.

- The shell script will also prevent cPanel from removing NutsMail and replacing it with the original SquirrelMail during any updates. (Linux only)

- Confirmed to work on cPanel v11.

were you able to get the GPG plugin working? We keep getting errors in the GPG config file.

were you able to get the GPG plugin working? We keep getting errors in the GPG config file.

I assume you're getting the warning message about certain files not being found?

Fix:
cd /path/to/nutsmail/plugins
mv gpg gpg.bak
wget "http://www.squirrelmail.org/countdl.php?fileurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.squirrelmail.org%2Fplugins%2Fgpg-2.1.tar.gz"
tar -xvf gpg-2.1.tar.gz

That will allow the GPG configuration screen to work, however the initial screen appears to be lacking the correct theme (you'll see what I mean) but the other pages look fine.

Also, the key generation feature does not work, at least for me... but I can still import private & public keys without any issues.

Edit:
You may also have to comment out the smallcal plugin under /path/to/nutsmail/config/config.php ... not sure why that is causing a problem.

I'll see if I can figure out these issues...

we get this:

even after a fresh gpg plugin install. Any thoughts?

Hrm, I'm not able to recreate that.

Can you post the version:

Figured it out: register_globals was on so the functions were stepping on each other.

Fix it in 3rdparty/etc/php.ini and the GPG plugin works fully - even key generation.



Regards,

Ah, you are correct! :agree:

Ah, it might be related to FreeBSD then.

I just disabled register_globals (again) and while Fantastico does load, if you try and install a software package it returns:

"This application is currently not available. Please contact your host."

The cPanel error log shows that it tried to use RPM, which of course is not available (by default) in FreeBSD.

Hi i have done a server wide installation of NutsMail and enabled the GPG plug-in but it doesn't show up in the OPTIONS section?

Any idea how to get this to work/show up?

Thanks!!

If you enabled it under config.php, did you put it before html_mail?

Example:

$plugins[22] = 'gpg';
$plugins[23] = 'html_mail';

I currently have it like this

$plugins[14] = 'preview_pane';
$plugins[15] = 'gpg';
$plugins[16] = 'newmail';
$plugins[17] = 'spamcop';
$plugins[18] = 'message_details';
$plugins[19] = 'html_mail';
$plugins[20] = 'view_as_html';
$plugins[21] = 'notes';

is that correct?

run the sq mail configure script and enable the plugin. not that there is an error in the script when you save it puts quotes incorrectly around a variable on line 30.

Does the 2nd script work with CPanel 11 ?

Did you run the second shell script followed by the first one? Your best bet would be to do the following:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/
mv squirrelmail squirrelmail.OLD
/scripts/upcp

The last command will update cPanel and force the re-installation of SquirrelMail. As for NutsMail, I would advise not installing the software alongside SquirrelMail until the second script is updated.

mv squirrelmail squirrelmail.OLD
mv: cannot move `squirrelmail' to `squirrelmail.OLD': Operation not permitted

mv squirrelmail squirrelmail.OLD
mv: cannot move `squirrelmail' to `squirrelmail.OLD': Operation not permitted

Run the following:

chattr -R -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/
mv squirrelmail squirrelmail.OLD
/scripts/upcp

cp: missing destination file

SM HTML editor doesnt load either :( Followe above instructions

What shell script is that?

Just to confirm:
ls -la /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/ | grep auth

Does it return any results?

no result...was it supposed to

im installing for - 1.4.10a_NM-9.Bluehive.tgz

(just confirming this is the right file)

no result...was it supposed to

Yeah, there's supposed to be a directory there called login_auth which is somewhat important to the NutsMail installation.

After you ran /scripts/upcp did the SquirrelMail directory get reinstalled?

ls -al /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

Yes it did. But that login_auth thing didnt. (using cpanel edge)

I get everything working if I install the Nutsmail alone into a /mail or /email folder on the website - then everything works (perfect functionality) except now and then some session error and something about quota exceeding (though it hasnt exceeded)

Yeah, it'll work fine under a normal directory with Apache but these shell scripts (at least the first one) will allow people to access it via cPanel.

If you want to get it to work under cPanel using the first shell script, try this:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins
wget http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip
unzip login_auth.zip

Then rerun the first shell script and it should work fine, now that the login_auth directory is present.

after the above i get

cp: missing destination file
Try `cp --help' for more information.
nutsmail.sh: line 32: /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/nutsmail/plugins/login_auth: No such file or directory

It should be squirrelmail/plugins!!!??

It should be squirrelmail/plugins!!!??

Yeah, that's where the login_auth directory should go.

There appears to be something else going on with your installation, so lets try starting off from scratch:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/
rm -rf nutsmail
rm -rf squirrelmail
mv squirrelmail.cpanel squirrelmail
ls -la squirrelmail/plugins/login_auth

If you get a directory listing, follow the next steps:

wget http://www.failover.ca/nutsmail-replace.sh
chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi
sh nutsmail-replace.sh

Give the exact path to 1.4.10a_NM-9.Bluehive.tgz and hit enter.

Okay ..here is whats going on.

Its installed after showing some errors.

When I login to webmail it shows Squirrelmail icon - after login i see the Nutsmail system HOWEVER

the plugins i see are
upto SpamCop - Spam Reporting one

There is NO HTML editor or spell check system and other parts that are included in the actual Nutsmail package...so wondering whats wrong.

Regards

It's probably related to those permission denied errors, I'm not sure why you are getting them... those are definitely not from the shell scripts. :(

Try this one last time:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/
chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty
chattr -R -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.cpanel
rm -rf nutsmail
rm -rf squirrelmail
mv squirrelmail.cpanel squirrelmail

cd squirrelmail/plugins
wget http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip
unzip login_auth.zip
ls -la squirrelmail/plugins/login_auth | grep functions.php

If you get a file result back, follow the next steps:

wget http://www.failover.ca/nutsmail-replace.sh
chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi
sh nutsmail-replace.sh

Give the exact path to 1.4.10a_NM-9.Bluehive.tgz and hit enter. The bold above are the changes I made that should correct those permission denied errors...

mv squirrelmail.cpanel squirrelmail
mv: cannot stat `squirrelmail.cpanel': No such file or directory

The NutsMail team probably changed the configuration file around with the new versions, let me take a look at mine and see what can be done.

It should just be a matter of replacing a single file. :)

Open the following file:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php

Do a search for $plugins[1] and you should see a list of 25 or so plugins, paste that entire list here.

whats odd is when i install it standalone for 1 domain in a /email subfolder i get all the features from the same ziped file.

Anyhow,

//$plugins[0] = 'sqclock'; //not used
$plugins[1] = 'show_user_and_ip';
$plugins[2] = 'filters';
$plugins[3] = 'mail_fetch';
$plugins[4] = 'calendar';
$plugins[5] = 'abook_take';
$plugins[6] = 'administrator';
$plugins[7] = 'squirrelspell';
$plugins[8] = 'translate';
$plugins[9] = 'msg_flags';
$plugins[10] = 'bookmarks';
$plugins[11] = 'compatibility';
$plugins[12] = 'smallcal';
$plugins[13] = 'delete_move_next';
$plugins[14] = 'preview_pane';
$plugins[15] = 'html_mail';
$plugins[16] = 'newmail';
$plugins[17] = 'spamcop';
$plugins[18] = 'message_details';
//$plugins[19] = 'gpg'; //check gpg config details before enabling
$plugins[20] = 'view_as_html';
$plugins[21] = 'notes';
//$plugins[22] = 'calendar_sql_backend'; //enable and configure if needed
$plugins[23] = 'login_auto';
$plugins[24] = 'todo';
$plugins[25] = 'login_auth';
// $plugins[25] = 'check_quota'; //only works on some servers
$plugins[26] = 'tbaddr';

do i need to chmod 777 for the data folder of squirrelmail (as per readme or not)

I don't think it would make a difference... I left the permissions alone and everything is working fine.

As for the plugins, try this:

cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php.bak

Edit:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php

Find the $plugins list and replace all of them with the following list instead:

$plugins[1] = 'show_user_and_ip';
$plugins[2] = 'filters';
$plugins[3] = 'mail_fetch';
$plugins[4] = 'todo';
$plugins[5] = 'abook_take';
$plugins[6] = 'administrator';
$plugins[7] = 'squirrelspell';
$plugins[8] = 'translate';
$plugins[9] = 'msg_flags';
$plugins[10] = 'bookmarks';
$plugins[11] = 'compatibility';
$plugins[13] = 'delete_move_next';
$plugins[14] = 'preview_pane';
$plugins[16] = 'newmail';
$plugins[17] = 'spamcop';
$plugins[18] = 'message_details';
$plugins[19] = 'view_as_html';
$plugins[20] = 'notes';
$plugins[21] = 'login_auth';
$plugins[22] = 'gpg';
$plugins[23] = 'html_mail';

I'm not 100% sure, but I remember the list order had something to do with a previous plugin not working... but if this doesn't work, I'll have to get the latest Nutsmail to see what was changed.

no change. :(

I have requested that the second shell script be temporarily removed until the code is cleaned up and confirmed working with cPanel 11.

As for the plugins not working, I'm going to have to look into that one. I'll hopefully have a fix for the latest NutsMail by the end of this weekend? I'll be sure to work in more checks into these shell scripts to make sure they don't screw anything up, if they fail the first time... :)

Just a minor update on the plugin issue, I have been able to recreate it under cPanel and I'm working on a fix right now.

I have also noticed a few other bugs (unrelated to my scripts) that should allow the WYSIWG editor to work correctly... as it kinda works but not quiet. :)

Edit:
The problem is directly related to the login_auth module... the same module that allows you to login via cPanel without having to login a second time. I'll see if I can come up with a work around, as this is a very important plugin for true cPanel integration.

Here's a fix for the plugins not showing up and the WYSIWG editor:

Edit:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/data/default_pref

Replace the contents with:
show_html_default=1
javascript_on=1
javascript_setting=1
compose_window_type=html

Now, if this is your first time logging into NutsMail everything will work as it should... however, if you have logged in before the old preferences may be used.

Preference Fix:
Login to NutsMail, go to Options and click on "Display Preferences" and make sure "Use Javascript" is set to always. Click the Submit button at the bottom to finish.

When I find some time, I'll be working these changes into the shell scripts above... and hopefully automate a few more things.

How do i install plugins?

Download and extract the plugin to the following directory:

/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins

Open the SquirrelMail configuration:

/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php

Scroll down until you see the list of plugins, for example:

$plugins[23] = 'login_auto';
$plugins[24] = 'todo';

Then add the plugin in the same format with the next number, for example:

$plugins[23] = 'login_auto';
$plugins[24] = 'todo';
$plugins[25] = 'archive_email';

Replace 'archive_email' with the name of the directory that the plugin created when you were extracting everything.

is this script now working properly with cpanel 11? can anyone confirm this?

I used the original script in the beginning of the post on a cpanel 11 box and the only error i got is the error below. Any suggestion?

Ah, I remember someone else had this problem... I'm not sure if it was cPanel or NutsMail who made the change of removing login_auth...

1 minute while I grab login_auth and put it on a website, along with instructions on how to install it.

thanks very much Pat H, await your respond

Alright, try this:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins
wget http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip
unzip login_auth.zip

Then try to access SquirrelMail from cPanel, just to see if it's working... if it's not, I have another fix that will (hopefully) get it working in one go.

this is weird. How is it possible that root have no permission on the plugins folder i am trying to wget the file but getting permission deny

Don't think this is permission issue on my server because it appear permissions are set properly though i may be missing something please advice.

so basically the whole problem is login_auth seem its not there at all

Cannot write to `login_auth.zip' (Permission denied).

Ah right, the shell script chattrs the directory to prevent cPanel from overwriting it during routine updates.

Try this:

chattr -R -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins
wget http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip
unzip login_auth.zip

Yeah, the login_auth module missing from the latest versions of NutsMail appears to be the problem here... I'll have to redo the shell script to download it, or at least ask the NutsMail team to put it back. It's essential to how everything operates with the cPanel integration.

I take it i need to turn on back the chattr on the directory so i am doing that

Ok now seem i dont have to login twice now thats good, when i click the squirrel mail then nuts mail comes up.

Here are the things i am wondering though, are there any interesting modules thats not installed by default thats good. Also anyway to have just the squirrel mail login and not the horde and squirrel mail also anyway to just go to www.domain.com/webmail and just get the nutsmail login

I don't know of any "interesting" plugins off hand as most clients are pleased with what NutsMail comes bundled with. If you take a look at the following link, you can see what is available:

http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugins.php

Keep in mind that some of these plugins are old and no longer working, and some could be very tricky to install. SquirrelMail, while widely used around the world, could use some 'freshness' and new additions...

As for your second question, yes if you install NutsMail under one of your websites and configure it via the default NutsMail instructions, you can access it via a specific URL. I don't believe /webmail or /mail will work, as that is global to Apache because of cPanel... but you could call it something else.

One more thing, in order to prevent cPanel from overwriting your NutsMail installation run the following:

chattr -R +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

Anyway to login straight through the nutsmail login instead of going through the cpanel and selecting squirrel mail. Also anyway to login with only username and not username@domain.com

Anyway to login straight through the nutsmail login instead of going through the cpanel and selecting squirrel mail. Also anyway to login with only username and not username@domain.com

Do you want everyone to access NutsMail through one website, or all the websites on the server, while still bypassing cPanel?

Hi, for me the WYSIWG editor is not working with cpanel 11, everything else is working fine.

Hi, for me the WYSIWG editor is not working with cpanel 11, everything else is working fine.

It's working now...

Hi -

I just wanted to say that I was able to follow the instructions here and get everything working perfectly with cPanel 11. I purchased the x-Graphite skin with server installation, but I never heard back from them about the install and decided to just do it myself.

Your instructions were very easy to understand for someone who knows next to nothing about interfacing with the server via command prompt. Once I actually got up the nerve to try, it took less than a minute to install and confirm working. The only part I got confused about was where I should put the nutsmail.sh file...but I just uploaded it to the same location as the skin archive and modified the path from your instructions for calling the file.

To work around the problem of their new skins not having the login_auth plugin, I just added it to the skin archive within the plugin directory before uploading/installing (thanks for providing that login_auth.zip file).

Anyways, I just wanted to how much I appreciate you posting this info. I was getting impatient waiting for them to install it for me and it was much easier than I thought it would be.

I also bought Nutsmail, but one thing I found is that you can only use one them, if it is installed globally on a VPS and a resaler wants their own graphic on the login page can this be done? or does it only use the main graphic that is assigned in the setup file when you first set it up, the only way I saw around this is installation per domain. Like with RVSkin, a reseller ABC Company can have their name in there and their own headers, and all their clients see ABC Company , but ABC could be obtaining reseller services from XYZ :) thanks in advance for any help with this

I understand your concern. I'd purchased one of their older skins a couple of years back and tried installing on a client site (not globally), it ended up overloading the server so my hosting provider had to disable it.

Now I have a dedicated server and was hopeful that their newer skins were coded better.

The instructions at the beginning of this post were last updated in August 2007, so they're pretty recent. Originally I think the post contained an alternate set of instructions for installing Nutsmail side-by-side SquirrelMail (instead of an outright replacement). He states in one of the threads that those instructions were removed because it was buggy and too many people were having problems.

After reading through this entire thread, these are the exact steps I took to replace SquirrelMail with Nutsmail (written for people, like me, who know nothing about shell scripts, SSH or command line administration):

1. Purchased & downloaded Nutsmail x-Graphite skin
(My exact file was 1.4.11_NM-10.X_Graphite.tgz)

2. Downloaded Pat H's login_auth.zip (http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip)
(needed because the newer nutsmail skins is missing this plugin)

3. Unzipped login_auth.zip, which gives you the login_auth folder & files

4. Used 7-zip to open my 1.4.11_NM-10.X_Graphite.tgz archive, browsed to the nutsmail plugins folder and simply drag/dropped the login_auth folder to it
(this adds it to the archive .tgz file)

5. Copied the entire contents of Pat H's shell script (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=4443978&postcount=1) at the start of this thread and pasted it into a text file that I renamed to nutsmail.sh

6. Uploaded the 1.4.11_NM-10.X_Graphite.tgz and newly created nutsmail.sh to the server using CuteFTP Pro connected via SHH2. I placed it in /home , but I don't think it matters as long as you know the path.

7. Connected to my server vis SSH using the PuTTy client

8. After logging in, entered:
cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi /usr/local/cpanel/base/webmaillogin.cgi.bak
(this creates a backup of your webmaillogin.cgi file)

9. Next, I entered:
sh /home/nutsmail.sh
(this calls the .sh file. Modify the /home/ path if you put it somewhere else)

10. When prompted to enter the location of the nutsmail file, I entered:
/home/1.4.11_NM-10.X_Graphite.tgz and hit enter
(modify the name of the .tgz to whatever skin version you have. If you're smarter than me, you'll rename it to something easier to remember before uploading)

11. It will run through unpacking & installing the Nutsmail skin. When finished, a confirmation message appears.

That was it. Afterwards, I logged into cPanel and accessed SquirrelMail to ensure it was working.

I imagine it depends on your particular server setup, but I didn't receive any errors or experience any issues following the steps above. I have a CentOS 4.3 system running a standard installation of WHM/cPanel 11 that was setup for me by Platinum Server Management.

When I go to cPanel's webmail area, I still see the regular squirrelMail webmail icon - but it opens to the Nutsmail theme when I click on it, which is all I wanted. The nutsmail skin looks a million times better than the default SquirrelMail.

Thank you for your kind words, earlier in this thread. :)

I've been pretty busy lately, but I hope to have the shell script updated as soon as possible to make it more user friendly. For the most part everything works, but it has to run 100% correctly the first time or it could cause problems which is something the update will address.

Just one thing, if you want to prevent cPanel from overwriting NutsMail with the original SquirrelMail run the following:

chattr -R +i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

That will prevent any changes to the squirrelmail (NutsMail) directory during nightly cPanel updates, and in the event that you need to reverse that command just run the following:

chattr -R -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

I am an total Newbie when it comes to cPanel and this HOWTO really helped to make short work of what appeared at first glance to be a monumental project. Hats off to Pat H.

You wouldn't happen to have a similiar tutorial available for Roundcube?

There is a pretty thorough one on roundcube here (http://www.hostgeekz.com/guides/cPanel/64/Install_RoundCube_on_cPanel.htm)

I have found the solution to my login problem.

I copied /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.cpanel/plugins/login_auth/

to

/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/

And it is now login without asking twice for identification.

Hi Bonsai,
I just installed NutsMail serverwide on a Cpanel 11 server and it's working fine. However, I get prompted to login twice. I do not see the path you have mentioned above. /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.cpanel/plugins/login_auth/

My OS is CentOS 4.5. Any Suggestions to prevent this annoying multiple logins? Thanks in advance!

Hi BonsaiRack,
OK. I have copied the files by using the command

cp -r /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail.old/plugins/login_auth/* /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/

But I still get prompted to login twice.

My OS is CentOS 4.5. Any Suggestions to prevent this annoying multiple logins? Thanks in advance!

Download:
http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip

Extract login_auth.zip to:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins

If that doesn't work, run the following and post the output here:

ls -la /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/login_auth

The plugin that is included with the Nutsmail package is called login_auto and not login_auth is this the cause of these problems with dual login. If so can one just rename login_auto to login_auth?

Pat,

Just installed NM via your script - worked perfectly. Thank you.

Previously I had NM installed in its own directory and had it server wide with an apache alias of /mail but when I set my VPS for the open_base security tweak it obviously broke my install. I was looking to replace the stock cPanel install of SM and ran across your thread here. Thank you for your hard work on providing this and also supporting it - that is above the call of duty.

My install works fine with the existing login_auth that was in the sm plugin directory. Did not need to rename the Nutsmail plugin login_auto to login_auth.

Extract login_auth.zip to:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins

If that doesn't work, run the following and post the output here:

ls -la /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/plugins/login_auth

If the login_auth script is present, then there's no reason it should be forcing you to login twice. I have a few suggestions, but first I need the output from the following command:

ls -la /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/

(I still haven't had time to update the original script to make it full proof, but it has not been forgotten and it will be updated ... eventually!)

I have a feeling your symlink (SquirrelMail -> BlueHive) didn't allow my script to work correctly, so I would try the following:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/
rm squirrelmail
mv bluehive squirrelmail.nutsmail
mv squirrelmail.old squirrelmail

cd squirrelmail/plugins
wget http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip
unzip login_auth.zip

Run my shell script again (first page of this thread) and make sure you give the exact location of your BlueHive.tgz archive and let it run. Assuming no errors were present, BlueHive (NutsMail) should be installed without forcing you to login twice.

I installed using the .sh script. I can login and can see the skin. I can receive emails but i cannot send! :confused:

I get:
Message not sent. Server replied:

Authentication required
530 Relaying not allowed (please enable smtp authentication on your email client)

Please any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Have you made any changes to the NutsMail config.php file?

Open the following file:

/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php

Double check that the following are set correctly:

$domain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

$useSendmail = false;

$smtpServerAddress = 'localhost';

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the reply. I will try this over the weekend. I am getting the following error frequently:

ERROR Preference file, ../data/user@domain.com.pref.tmp, could not be opened. Contact your system administrator to resolve this issue.

If I were to reinstall NutsMail using your script, would it take care of this error as well? Thanks!

Hi Pat,
When I try to run your commands, I get the following error:

[root@host 3rdparty]# rm squirrelmail
rm: remove symbolic link `squirrelmail'? y
rm: cannot remove `squirrelmail': Permission denied

I am logged in as root, and so should have the right to delete this folder. Please help. Thanks!

rm: cannot remove `squirrelmail': Permission denied

I am logged in as root, and so should have the right to delete this folder.

Run the following first:

chattr -R -i /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

Then run the following commands:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/
rm squirrelmail
mv bluehive squirrelmail.nutsmail
mv squirrelmail.old squirrelmail

cd squirrelmail/plugins
wget http://www.failover.ca/login_auth.zip
unzip login_auth.zip

Then run the original shell script (first page) and make sure you specify the exact path to your BlueHive.tgz archive. Assuming no errors are present during the installation, that should hopefully fix both the duplicate login and the preference error you have been experiencing.

Hi Pat,
Thanks a bunch for this awesome script, and your very helpful and prompt responses to my questions. :agree:

I successfully uninstalled and reinstalled nutsmail, and the installation went through without any errors.

So, I assume that my clients will not get any of the "preference" errors anymore. Also, I no longer need to login twice! :)

Thanks again!

First off, thanks for all your hard work.

Known Issues:1) cPanel cannot parse XML files, so the WYSIWG editor is broken by default. I'm writing a shell script to fix this, however it'll only work for IE... A workaround for FireFox is still being looked into?

Do you have the fixes for the WYSIWG editor by any chance?

This was fixed last year - I asked the cPanel people to add xml files to WHM's apache config.

Does anyone have an elegant way yet to prevent cpanel updates from overwriting the squirelmail directory?

Besides chattr'n the whole directory? Nope. It's not an "elegant" way of clicking a yes or no box to disable updates to SquirrelMail, but it does work.

cPanel have taken notice of NutsMail, and even suggested it in a recent post regarding alternatives to the default webmail clients... now if only they would acquire it, clean up the code and add the ability to change the theme before logging in. :)

I used your script, and some of the advice in the 8 pages of comments to get this working in 5 minutes. Thank you very much, A+ for your script here.

Does this script work with 11.25 and latest nutsmail skins like web 2.0?

I too would be interested to know if this will work with the current version of cPanel and the new nutsmail skins.
