Install Open-Xchange on WHM/cPanel
BETA
Install and prepare Open-Xchange
- Follow one of the Open-Xchange installation guides to install Open-Xchange.
- Take care to install the package open-xchange-authentication-imap as Open-Xchange must authenticate against the cPanel IMAP server

$ yum install open-xchange-cpanel
- run the installer (-h for help):
$ /usr/local/cpanel/bin/oxcpanelinstall --oxurl http://ox.example.com --oxadmin-password oxadminmasterpassword
Now your Open-Xchange server is integrated with your cPanel installation.
