Puting my ical/adressbook/mail on the web.

[SchechterGary]

Ok i’ve been using SquirrelMail for my webmail. Then i’m planing on using phpicalendar to put my ical on the web. But i was hoping i could also put my Adress Book on the web. All of these i’m goign to be keeping locked off and use for when i’m on the road and need to acsesse some thing.

Is thier some thing i can use that will import my ical and my adress book then will share it with a webmail? I dont mind using a diffrent webmail.

I have SquirrelMail ruinning on my server as well. I set up SM to use mySQL for the address book and I wrote a little command line tool to populate the database from my address book. You can have the source for that. You will have to setup mySQL etc. yourself though.

I then have a cron command run and generate the SQL statements on my main machine. I then run the SQL statements though a mySQL command line tool to send the data to the server.

This seems like a lot of work, but I can send you all the bits I have if that helps.

Current I have my address book info being sent to an LDAP server running on my server and I have SquirrelMail access that. You could use that instead if you wanted. It was a bit of a pain to set up, but it works fine. The nice thing about this approach is that all users on SQ can access the same data easily.

I hope this all makes sense to you 🙂

Let me know if you would like any of my scripts etc.

That sounds great.

Ok I dont have my mac os x server setup to the outside right now so my mail server is on a redhat box and squirrelmail is setup for about 50 users on the server and then we just log in seperatly… Would this still work?

I dont mind fighting with it.
