# Installation with Apache

Before installing, make sure mod\_rewrite is enabled.

Unzip the source file

`cd /home/user`

`unzip maildoll.zip`

/home/user/`maildoll`, you can configure Apache virtual host as follows (remember to point the DocumentRoot to the public folder of the source)

```
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName yoursite.com
	DocumentRoot "/home/user/maildoll/public"
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	<Directory "/home/user/maildoll/public">
		AllowOverride All
		Require all granted
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
```

Change the director/file’s owner to Apache’s running user (www-data for example), to make sure it has proper permission on your source files

`sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /home/user/maildoll`

`sudo chmod 775 -R /home/user/maildoll`
