Installation instructions for Bucardo. For a possibly more up to date and complete version, please visit: http://bucardo.org/wiki/Bucardo/Installation Before installing, please make sure you have the latest version. Please visit: http://bucardo.org/wiki/Bucardo It is recommended that you create a 'bucardo' user on your system that will be responsible for running Bucardo. Install Bucardo like any other Perl module: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The last step must be done as root. You may be able to do this by running: sudo make install Note that 'make test' is a rather long and involved process. However, because Bucardo is fairly complex, testing is highly recommended before installing. Once the above has been run, you will need to create a Bucardo database. This can be done by running: bucardo install There should be no errors: if there are, please report them to bucardo-general@bucardo.org or ask on IRC for help. IRC: #bucardo irc.freenode.net Bucardo by default logs to syslog, and does so very verbosely. It is recommended that you reroute your bucardo syslog traffic to another file. This can be done by adding this line to your /etc/syslog.conf file: local1.* -/var/log/bucardo.log Of course, if "local1" is already being used for something else, you will need to change it - see the "syslog_facility" entry in the bucardo_config table. Once this is done, make sure you restart your syslog daemon so it rereads the new configuration file. Please see the documentation at http://bucardo.org for information on how to start using Bucardo once it is installed.
