+
+Databases
+
+Roundcube supports various database providers, including SQLite, MySQL and
+PostgreSQL. The package depends only on php-pdo, which provides SQLite
+support. However, the default configuration is for a MySQL database, for
+performance reasons. To use the MySQL database, ensure php-mysql is
+installed. If you want to use another database, adjust the configuration
+file, and ensure the appropriate PDO plugin is installed. If necessary.
+
+
+The installer is available at http://localhost/roundcubemail/installer
+The webmail is available at http://localhost/roundcubemail
+
+By default, access to Roundcube and the installer is only allowed from the
+server, locally, in /etc/httpd/conf.d/roundcubemail.conf . Best practice is
+to create a new file - e.g. /etc/httpd/conf.d/z-roundcubemail-allow.conf -
+to adjust the access permissions. You can also edit roundcubemail.conf directly,
+but then any changes to it in future package updates will cause the creation
+of a .rpmnew file, and you will have to merge the changes manually: creating
+a new config file to configure access permissions avoids that.
+
+First use the installer to configure Roundcube, ideally from the server so you
+do not need to allow any wider access to the installer, but you can use a new
+config file to grant wider access to /usr/share/roundcubemail and
+/usr/share/roundcubemail/installer if necessary. Once you have completed
+deployment, you should restrict access to the /installer subdirectory again, as
+an attacker could use it to do anything they liked to your Roundcube
+installation.
+
+UPGRADING: when upgrading from < 1.0 the old configuration files named
+main.inc.php and db.inc.php are now deprecated and should be replaced with one
+single config.inc.php file. Run the /usr/share/roundcube/bin/update.sh script
+as root to get this conversion done or manually merge the files. The update
+script will also update the database configuration. Check the permissions of
+the config.inc.php file and all backups the script creates! Make sure they
+are not world-readable, as they may contain sensitive information (e.g.
+database passwords).
+
+NOTE: the new config.inc.php should only contain options that differ from the
+ones listed in defaults.inc.php.
