WebMail PHP Installation Instructions for Windows

  1. Download webmail_php.zip archive.

  2. Unpack "web" folder of the archive into the web server's folder (for instance, webmailphp). This folder must be accessible from the Internet at the URL (e.g. http://www.yourserver.com/webmailphp).

  3. Unpack "data" folder of this archive into location where MailBee WebMail PHP will store its settings, temporary files and folders (e.g. "C:/WebMail/data"). Please note, to protect this folder contents from unauthorized access, make sure this folder cannot be accessed from the web.

  4. Open inc_settings_path.php file from webmailphp folder, and set the value of the $dataPath variable to the physical path of data folder (e.g. $dataPath = "C:/WebMail/data").

  5. Make sure the files can be written into "data" folder by the MailBee WebMail PHP application:

    • for Windows IIS server, make sure Internet Guest User has "Full Control" permission for the "data" folder and all its subfolders.


    Note: if "data" folder permissions are not set, MailBee WebMail PHP may not be able to create/ delete temporary files or folders and to save "Administration Console" settings.

  6. Please check up if the 'index.php' file is present in the list of default documents and if the default documents are enabled in the properties of your web site (see the 'Documents' tab of web site properties in IIS Manager). If 'index.php' file is present in the list of default documents, all users will be able to access MailBee WebMail PHP at http://www.server.com/webmailphp (otherwise, they have to access it at http://www.yourserver.com/webmailphp/index.php).

  7. In your browser, navigate to http://yourserver.com/webmailphp/mailadm.php and type "mailadm" as login and "12345" as default password to enter the Administration Console. Once logged in, it's recommended to click WebMail Settings to change the default password and then click "Save" button to apply changes.

  8. Now you can edit the following settings:

    • WebMail settings
    • Interface settings
    • Login settings
    • Debug settings


  9. Now installation is complete. Please refer to Administration Panel for administration details.

    See WebMail PHP administration
