How do i install Squirrelmail

[Host4Cheap]

Hi

I am using standard cPanel Hosting and i have SSH Access. Although i know Squirrelmail is installed on cPanel Servers.

I want to install Squirrelmail so i can offer people on my forums free email as well as i want to install a new Squirrelmail skin because the default one just sucks :P

Till now i have done this but without any luck

1. Downloaded the latest Package
2. Extracted and renamed the folder as "sq" and uploaded in public_html
3. Created a new folder "data" at the ROOT that is above the public_html Dir and CHMOD it to 777
4. Run the public_html/sq/config/config.pl in SHELL, edited the part which i couldnt understand easily.

Can anyone please help me on installing this as well as i want to know how can i install the skin.

NOTE : I am trying to install latest stable release 1.4.7

Regards

Wish I could help, I have only installed Horde/Squirrelmail on Plesk/DirectAdmin/Webmin/Standalone boxes.

Not real sure where CPanel places everything.

for themes&skins use
squirrelmail/config)
# pico -w config.php

Look for the following lines:

$theme[34]['PATH'] = SM_PATH . 'themes/penguin.php';
$theme[34]['NAME'] = 'Penguin';

Below this, add the following new entry and save the file:

$theme[35]['PATH'] = SM_PATH . 'themes/xp_theme.php';
$theme[35]['NAME'] = 'Windows XP';
