I don't have Roundcube installed, so not experienced with it, but just a quick check, did you complete this step?

Customize Roundcube settings
Code: [Select]
ls /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/
10SQL_DATABASE  20LOGGING_DEBUGGING  30IMAP  40SMTP  50LDAP  60SYSTEM  70USER_INTERFACE  80ADDRESSBOOKS_SETTINGS  90USER_PREFERENCES  95PLUGINS  template-begin  template-end

Check the contents of your actual config file:

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php

What is in the IMAP section?

(I think the conf is there for SME v9 but was somewhere in /opt for SME v8)

No IMAP setting there then.

Can you post this if it exists

Code: [Select]
cat /opt/roundcube/config/config.inc.php

Also

Code: [Select]
cat /opt/roundcube/config/defaults.inc.php
Just trying to see where your settings are and what they are.

Ahhh hang on.

Quote
$config['default_host'] = 'ssl://myserver.com';

Did you amend that line prior to pasting here?

It is set by 30IMAP like this

Code: [Select]
{$OUT .= "   \$config['default_host'] = 'ssl://$DomainName';\n";}
So it should have your domain name in there.

PS - you could try copying

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/20LOGGING_DEBUGGING

to

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/20LOGGING_DEBUGGING

Then change these settings in the file:

Code: [Select]
// system error reporting, sum of: 1 = log; 4 = show, 8 = trace
$config['debug_level'] = 1;  << try 4 here

Code: [Select]
// Log IMAP conversation to <log_dir>/imap or to syslog
$config['imap_debug'] = false; << try true here

See what it logs.

calisun and ReetP thank you for your efforts, much appreciated

well i found out what the issue was

i installed the PHP Software Collections contrib " https://wiki.contribs.org/PHP_Software_Collections " quite a while ago and set it to PHP56 ( using server manager )

when i installed Roundcube and tried to login i experienced the " Connection to IMAP server failed " error.

when i set the PHP Version to DEFAULT and then try to login with Roundcube, IT WORKS!!

Thanks again guys  :P

Ok, so it is the change in PHP versions that causes the issue.

But that isn't really a fix (this is possibly a bug)

Roundcube should run under php56, and what happens if you have another webapp that requires 5.6, or 7.x ?

Be nice to try and find the issue.

Was there nothing at all in your logs?

I've got sme9.2 with PHP Software collection installed(smeserver-php-scl ) , with the
PHP-mod version for the server set : php56 and roundcube installed.....all works...

The Kicker is that i had the same issue and i "Think" i had to install some additional php56 modules from the @remi-safe  repo.
I cant find my notes at moment.
Damn , getting old, first gotta make notes then cant find them  :(

Well done.

Yes you often do need to manually add extra rpms. Sensible to update though. If you get PHP issues most devs will not listen if you are on 5.3 (or 5.4)

Notes... I know the feeling. I make copious ones. And then can't find them :-)

ReetP this is the error code

Default SME 9.2 PHP is Version = 5.3.3

Just for those that need help
After installing the PHP Software Collections Contrib you will have a menu option " Server Manager > Configurations > PHP-SCL Versions "

when you choose the " PHP-mod version " option and change the PHP Version to either
PHP54
PHP55
PHP56
PHP70
PHP71

RounCube will now give you the " Connection to IMAP server failed " so you cannot login to the webmail system

the RoundCube Error Log shows the following:
IMAP Error: Login failed for bob from 192.0.0.25. Could not connect to ssl://myserver.com:993: Unknown reason in /usr/share/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 198 (POST /webmail/?_task=login?_task=login&_action=login)

is there any other log i need to look at?

hope this helps

@Bud,

It would be handy if @Warren pasted which rpms he has installed

Code: [Select]
rpm -qa |grep php56
You can then check and make sure the lists match.

Second you can take a look in both of these for errors:

Code: [Select]
/var/log/messages
Code: [Select]
/var/log/httpd/error_log(and access_log)

Try tailing them in a console as you access the page:

Code: [Select]
tailf /var/log/messages
Let us know and we'll try and get you working :-)
