 +Double check the **temp** and **logs** paths, you need to change the path to point to the folders you created in the previous step.
 +
 +When asked for database, use this as file path **/home/web/roundcube/db/roundcube.db**.
 +
 +Save the settings by copying the produced config file as **/home/web/roundcube/roundcubemail-<version>/config/config.inc.php**.
 +
 +Here is an example which works with Stalwart:
 +<file - config.inc.php>
 +$config['db_dsnw'] = 'sqlite:////home/web/roundcube/db/roundcube.db?mode=0646';
 +$config['imap_host'] = 'ssl://mail.mydomain.com';
 +$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://mail.mydomain.com';
 +$config['smtp_auth_type'] = "PLAIN";
 +$config['support_url'] = '';
 +$config['log_dir'] = '/var/log/roundcube';
 +$config['temp_dir'] = '/home/web/roundcube//temp/';
 +$config['des_key'] = '<<autogenerated secret key>>';
 +$config['plugins'] = ['acl', 'archive', 'attachment_reminder', 'emoticons', 'enigma', 'filesystem_attachments', 'jqueryui', 'managesieve', 'markasjunk', 'new_user_dialog', 'newmail_notifier', 'subscriptions_option', 'userinfo', 'vcard_attachments', 'zipdownload'];
 +$config['language'] = 'en_US';
 +$config['enable_spellcheck'] = true;
 +$config['spellcheck_engine'] = 'pspell';
 +$config['mime_param_folding'] = 0;
 +</file>
 +
 +At this point the installation is complete.

 +
 +===== CardDav Plugin =====
 +
 +To enable integration with your CardDav addressbook, 
 +
 +Download latest tarball from [[https://github.com/mstilkerich/rcmcarddav/releases|here]] and decompress it into rouncube //plugins// folder, then enable it by adding **carddav** to the //$config['plugins']// defined above.
 +
 +**Note:** it is critical that you LOGOUT from Roundcube before enabling the plugin, and LOGIN again after. This is because this will create the needed table. If you don't, you will get an internal error.
