1. Notice that we need root access for all the commands in this blog entry.
   First at all we need to create the folder where our RainLoop code will be stored:
   mkdir /usr/share/rainloop
   cd /usr/share/rainloop
   
   
2. Download the latest version from the web of rainloop and uncompress in the current directory. Delete later the downloaded file because is not needed anymore:
   wget http://repository.rainloop.net/v2/webmail/rainloop-community-latest.zip
   unzip rainloop-community-latest.zip
   rm rainloop-community-latest.zip

1. We will configure now apache to serve our folder. Create the folder for RainLoop apache configuration:
   mkdir /etc/rainloop
   We will create and modify the file to use:
   vi /etc/rainloop/apache.conf
   And add the next lines.
   12345

   Alias /webmail /usr/share/rainloop

   <Directory /usr/share/rainloop>

       Options -Indexes

       AllowOverride All

   </Directory>
   In the file we have created an alias to point to our folder.
2. Now we add our configuration file for apache to the list of files that apache will load:
   cd /etc/apache2/conf.d
   ln -s ../../rainloop/apache.conf rainloop.conf
3. We add also rainloop to the available configurations and enable it:
   cd /etc/apache2/conf-available/
   ln -s ../../rainloop/apache.conf rainloop.conf
   a2enconf rainloop

1. And restart apache to reload the rainloop configuration, enable the alias and allow access to the folder:
   service apache2 restart
2. Access to yourdomain.com/webmail?admin and configure some options of RainLoop, i.e. the allowed domains. The default credentials are user admin and password 12345.
