Funambol

Lets try to hook up funambol.cipar.net with the zimbra installation at mailro.songshu.org so that we can sync the calendars and contact lists with e-mail clients like thunderbird and mobile devices blackberrys and such.

Installation

you can get it to run on 64bit i guess but you will have to change some paths for java, well not really in to the effort right now so i'll install the 32 bit OS this time.

newvserver --vsroot /VSERVERS --hostname funambol --domain cipar.net --ip 192.168.1.18/24 --dist etch --arch i386 --mirror http://192.168.1.12:3142/debian.apt-get.eu/debian --interface dummy0
Your current time zone is set to Unknown
Do you want to change that? [n]:

Enter for default
 Enable shadow passwords?
&lt;Yes&gt; 
enter the root password
Create a normal user account now?
 &lt;No&gt;    
Choose software to install:
&lt;Ok&gt; 
vserver funambol start
vserver funambol enter
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://192.168.1.12:3142/security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb http://192.168.1.12:3142/ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
cd /usr/src/
wget http://download.forge.objectweb.org/sync4j/funambol-7.0.6.bin
sh funambol-7.0.6.bin

and prepare for a long scroll.

Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no]
yes

/opt always seems to be a nice place

Directory to extract Funambol [/opt] &lt;return to accept&gt;? 
Do you want to start the server? [yes or no]
yes
cp /opt/Funambol/bin/funambol /etc/init.d/
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc3.d/S30funambol
nano /etc/init.d/funambol

change funambol home to the following

FUNAMBOL_HOME=`(cd /opt/Funambol ; pwd)
cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zimbrafunambol/ZimbraConnector_0.5.01.s4j?modtime=1219875982&amp;big_mirror=0
cp ZimbraConnector_0.5.01.s4j ZimbraConnector.s4j
cp ZimbraConnector.s4j /opt/Funambol/ds-server/modules
mkdir /opt/Funambol/config/connector
nano /opt/Funambol/config/connector/ZimbraConnector.xml
&lt;java version="1.5.0" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder"&gt;
&lt;object class="ru.korusconsulting.connector.config.ConnectorConfig"&gt;
  &lt;void property="dataSource"&gt;
    &lt;string&gt;jdbc/fnblds&lt;/string&gt; <!--The funambol datasource-->
  &lt;/void&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/java&gt;
nano /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties

and add our module to the modules to install

ZimbraConnector
/opt/Funambol/bin/install-modules

This will ask you to install the modules listed in install.properties.

We're not running funambol on a desktop machine so do the basic install on your desktop client and issue.

/opt/Funambol/admin/bin/funamboladmin

to start the admin tool and login to 192.168.1.18.

In the admin tool remove the following items

PIM Calendar SyncSource -- cal; event; scal; stask; task

PIM Contact SyncSource  -- card; scard

add new SyncSources to FunambolZimbraConnector.
Modules > zimbra > FunambolZimbraConnector>CalendarSyncSource

Source URI    = cal,event,scal,stask,task

Name          = cal,event,scal,stask,task

Zimbra URL    = http://mailro.songshu.org/service/soap/

Modules > zimbra > FunambolZimbraConnector>ContactSyncSource

Source URI    = card, scard

Name          = card, scard

Zimbra URL    = http://mailro.songshu.org/service/soap/

done.

    Hi Yogesh,

    its been a while that i set up the above but i guess the basics should still apply.
    Did you install the funambol outlook client?
