Since Zarafa is no longer integrated in Zentyal our customer wanted to move away from Zarafa to the default Zentyal Mail. The catch was that both lived on the same host.

Togheter with Zentyal support we came to this idea:

  1. create a backup user for each Zentyal user
  2. disable Zarafa on port 993, only listen to 143
  3. disable Mail on port 143, only listen on port 993
  4. sync mail for each Zarafa user from Zarafa on port 143 to the backup user on Mail port 993
  5. sync mail for each backup user from Mail port 993 to its original user on Mail port 993

This is a work in progress. We will inform you about the outcome later this month.

Trying to use Joomla! on a non default PostgreSQL database port?

The problem was that the default PostgreSQL Driver was not taken into account a port in the connection string. It only used the default port 5432 when connecting to the PostgreSQL database server. I updated the PostgresqlDriver to support non default port 5432. The same principal as the MySQLi driver is used to get the database hostname and port from the host connection string (databasehost:port)

Have a look at this: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-framework/pull/141

Change the file 'Joomla/Database/Postgresql/PostgresqlDriver.php'
