Hello fak3r,

Since switching my email to a hosted service, I admittedly have not kept up with Roundcube, but the last time I played around with it (~9months back) it was pretty stagnant. However, checking it now, I see some progress, and an *AMAZING* theme for it called “MVision v2″: http://www.roundcubeforum.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2

Wowser, that’s what I wanted, for some real web UI guys to get ahold of the client, has anyone use Roundcube recently? How is the project going? It had such a promising start.

Quick question, while it had loads of promise, I see very little progress from Roundcube over the past year, and that’s a shame. Has anyone 1) seen progress in the SVN version (mine had nothing new that I could see) or 2) know of a fork of Roundcube (I’d love to see a re-interest in this client, with a new/fresh skin and some attention) or 3) a better solution altogether for a PHP/MySQL webmail app that is this light? That’s the thing, I see other UIs, but they’re tied to something like Tomcat or the like…that’s not what I want, I want a Roundcube like environment – that works 100% It’s just such a great piece of software it makes me want to get better at PHP and push it along. (note to self, I need to update the auto-RC subversion checkout script: http://www.fak3r.com/2006/05/31/roundcube-webmail-update-script/ – if there were actually changes in the code…this would pick them up! )

@PBH
In your config file, turn the logging up, then look at the errors in /var/log/http-error.log and /var/log/maillog

@evs
Ican’t reproduce this, have you posted it to the Roundcube forums? Also, tell me exactly what PHP modules you have installed/enabled. Do a…
pkg_info | grep -i php

to determine the packages installed, and also go into the main php5 port and type:
make config

To get all the options. After that I can compare with what I have chosen.

I can’t log in with any user into Roundcube, I just bounce back to the same login screen without the “login failed” message.

I’m using dovecot 1.0rc24, Postfix 2.3.7 on a CentOS 4.2 Linux

I’m using sql auth on dovecot (IMAP Server) configuration, this is the dovecot-sql.conf file:
—-
driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost user=admin password=passwd dbname=manager
default_pass_scheme = PLAIN
password_query = SELECT password FROM emails WHERE account = ‘%n’ AND domain = ‘%d’ AND alias = 0
—–

I checked the database and the user is there.

The relevant configuration of dovecot (dovecot.conf) is:
—–
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s # only set the services you want – the s stands for secure (ssl)
disable_plaintext_auth = no

#ssl:
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/s/Cert.pem
ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/s/PrivateKey.pem

default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/
protocol pop3
{
pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u
}

auth default
{
mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 digest-md5

passdb sql
{
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf
}

userdb static
{
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/mail/%d/%n
}

socket listen
{
client
{
user = postfix
group = postfix
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
}
}
}
—–

Please I don’t understand why is not logging in, could someone help…?

Thanks in advanced….

Great to hear Crazy F! Have fun with it, and feel free to join the mailing lists, or swing back by here if you have questions. Now all the cool kids have a roundcube/ directory, as well as a roundcube-svn/ directory so you can play with, test the new features. Currently the Preview Pane and some drag and drop features are showing up!

It’s WORKING!!!
I’ve changed for this:

// to use SSL connection, set ssl://smtp.host.com
// if left blank, the PHP mail() function is used
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = ’ssl://mail.mydomain’;

// SMTP port (default is 25; 465 for SSL)
$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 465;

And for now it’s working e look’s great!!!!
Thank you fak3r!!!!
