This is a guide on setting up Mailgraph on FreeBSD 9. 

 h2. Prepare the Environment 

 * Make sure the system is up date: 
 <pre> 
 pkg update && pkg upgrade 
 </pre> 

 * Edit permissions of mail log so Mailgraph can read it: 
 <pre> 
 chmod 0644 /var/log/maillog 
 </pre> 

 h2. Install Mailgraph 

 * Install mailgraph: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install mailgraph 
 </pre> 

 * Start and enable mailgraph at boot: 
 <pre> 
 echo 'mailgraph_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 service mailgraph start 
 </pre> 

 h2. Install Nginx 

 * Install nginx and fcgiwrap: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install nginx fcgiwrap 
 </pre> 

 * Start and enable fcgiwrap uwsgi at boot: 
 <pre> 
 echo 'fcgiwrap_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'fcgiwrap_profiles="main"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'fcgiwrap_main_socket="unix:/tmp/fcgiwrap.sock"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'fcgiwrap_main_user="www"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 service fcgiwrap start 
 </pre> 

 h2. Mailgraph Website 

 * Create a directory for the web application: 
 <pre> 
 mkdir -p /usr/local/www/mailgraph.example.com 
 </pre> 

 * And copy the mailgraph files to the mailgraph web folder: 
 <pre> 
 cp /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi /usr/local/www/mailgraph.example.com/ 
 cp -r /usr/local/www/data/mailgraph /usr/local/www/mailgraph.example.com/ 
 </pre> 

 * Add a *mailgraph.example.com server block*: 
 <pre> 
 vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/mailgraph.example.com.conf 
 </pre> 
 #* Add the following: 
 <pre> 
 upstream fcgiwrap { 
    server unix:/tmp/fcgiwrap.sock; 
 } 

 server { 
     listen         80; 
     server_name    cgi-app.example.com; 
     root           /usr/local/www/mailgraph.example.com; 
     access_log     /var/log/mailgraph.example.com-access.log; 
     error_log      /var/log/mailgraph.example.com-error.log; 

     location / { 
         index mailgraph.cgi; 
         try_files $uri $uri/ =404; 
     } 

     location ~ \.cgi$ { 
         include /usr/local/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; 
         fastcgi_index mailgraph.cgi; 
         fastcgi_pass fcgiwrap; 
         fastcgi_param    SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; 
     } 
 } 
 </pre> 

 * Change the ownership of the mailgraph website to the web server user: 
 <pre> 
 chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/mailgraph.example.com 
 </pre> 

 * Restart nginx: 
 <pre> 
 service nginx restart 
 </pre>
