Rainloop Windows 10 Apache Email Server

[Tardigrade]

Hi,

I am a noob, but would like to learn how to install Rainloop Web Mail on a Windows 10 Apache Email Server. ( I don't want to run a separate linux PC just for email )

Please let me know if this is even possible - or too silly to try

Rainloop system requirements are : https://www.rainloop.net/docs/system-requirements/

Web server: Apache, NGINX, lighttpd or other with PHP support
PHP: 5.4 and above
PHP extensions: cURL, iconv, json, libxml, dom, openssl, DateTime, PCRE, SPL
Browser: Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera 10+, Safari 3+, Internet Explorer 11 or EDGE
Optional: PDO (MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite) PHP extension (for contacts)


Thank You !!

Hi,

Sure it is possible. You can fit all requirements with XAMPP.
But of course we cannot give support for any Rainloop related topics like installation guidance.

best wishes,

Hi Altrea,

Oh good, then there is some hope.

If anybody finds a link or has tried Rainloop with XAMPP and Windows 10, please let me know.

I can only find detailed install instructions with Ubuntu : (

Thank You

There is no Windows installation for Rainloop. Instead you must download the installer and run it manually in your Xampp environment.

I already did the download, please create a folder C:/xampp/htdocs/rainloop on your PC, copy the full contents of the following PHP script and paste into a new file C:/xampp/htdocs/rainloop/install.php:

Code: Select all

<?php

define('INSTALLER_ROOT_PATH', rtrim(dirname(__FILE__), '\\/').'/');
define('INSTALLER_REPO_CORE', 'http://repository.rainloop.net/v2/webmail/rainloop-latest.zip');
define('INSTALLER_REPO_SPEC', 'http://repository.rainloop.net/spec/');
define('INSTALLER_RND', md5(microtime(true)));

?>

At next open a terminal (DOS Command Box), cd into C:/xampp/htdocs/rainloop and enter this command:

Code: Select all

C:/xampp/bin/php install.php

This *should* start the installer. After a while, when the installation is finished, open a browser and proceed to this URL (you may simply click here on that link): http://localhost/rainloop/?admin

A login dialog should appear, enter "admin" and "12345" for UserID and Password. Then begin to configure your Rainloop installation to your needs.

P.S.: There is a faulty pathname in the PHP command, please instead use this command:

Code: Select all

C:/xampp/php/php install.php

Did this guy setup a Rainloop email server on xammp Win 10?
