SyncML support (WebMail Pro 6 PHP)

From AfterLogic Wiki

SyncML is data exchange standard, and WebMail Pro uses it in order to allow for syncing contacts and calendars with the variety of mobile devices. Nowadays, many devices support SyncML natively. For other devices, mobile sync client may be freely available from Funambol website.

In order to provide SyncML support you'll need to install Funambol Data Synchronization Server.

You can download Funambol server from here:

Windows
Server for Windows

Windows 64
Server for 64 bit Windows

Linux
Server for Linux

Linux64
Server for 64 bit Linux

Upon obtaining Funambol Data Synchronization Server please install it into

for Windows

C:\Program Files\Funambol

for Linux

/opt/Funambol

In the rest of this document, this Funambol installation directory will be referred to as $FUNAMBOL_HOME.

Once installation is completed, you need to configure Funambol Server. It should be configured to use the same MySQL Database that was specified for WebMail. You need to configure properties file for Funambol Data Synchronization Server. The $FUNAMBOL_HOME/install.properties file is the central configuration information storage that is used by the installation procedure to set up the Funambol Data Synchronization Server. Please, follow the below steps to configure Funambol Server:

1. Download MySQL connector from official MySQL page

2. Copy MySQL connector to

for Windows

$FUNAMBOL_HOME\funambol\tools\jre-1.6.0\jre\lib\ext

for Linux

$FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/tools/jre-1.6.0/jre/lib/ext

3. Modify the following file:

for Windows

$FUNAMBOL_HOME\funambol\ds-server\install.properties

for Linux

$FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/ds-server/install.properties

Change the value of the dbms parameter to: dbms=mysql

4. Comment out the hypersonic configuration section:

#jdbc.classpath=../tools/hypersonic/lib/hsqldb.jar
#jdbc.driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
#jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/funambol
#jdbc.user=sa
#jdbc.password=

5. Place the MySQL configuration details, for example:

for Windows

jdbc.classpath="C:\Program Files\Funambol\tools\jre-1.6.0\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-<version>-bin.jar

for Linux

jdbc.classpath=/opt/Funambol/tools/jre-1.6.0/lib/ext/mysql-connector-java-<version>-bin.jar

jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://db_host:db_port/db_name?characterEncoding=UTF-8
jdbc.user=db_user
jdbc.password=db_user_password

6. Run the following command:

for Windows

$FUNAMBOL_HOME\funambol\bin\install.cmd

for Linux

$FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/bin/install

answering 'y' to all questions. After that, run the service

for Windows

Start->Programs->Funambol->Data Synchronization Server->Start Server

for Linux

$FUNAMBOL_HOME/funambol/bin/funambol start

then specify Mobile Sync URL in AdminPanel->WebMail->MobileSync as described here.

7. The final step in setting up Synchronization - you should set the following script to be launched by your OS once a minute:

$WEBMAIL_ROOT/calendar/cron/funambol.php

Cron job should run PHP interpreter with funambol.php file as a parameter. Something like this:

php -f /path/to/calendar/cron/funambol.php
