hi everybody,

i searched this forum a few week ago about my blank page problem.
i found some answers, telling that blank pages accure, when there
is a problem with the databaseconnection. but i wasn't able to fix
the problem.

i'm working with windows 2000 server. php is installed and runs on
my iis webserver. the mysql database server runs on a remote machine.
as mailserver i use hMailServer. i tested sending and receving mails with
thunderbird and everything worked.

i did what's written here:
http://trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/wiki/Howto_Install

My Connectionstring:
mysql://myuser:mypassword@192.168.0.11/dbRoundcube

i tried my root account, but i didn't work.

can anybody help?

thanks, etienne

Have you checked your webserver's error log to see if you're getting any error output?

there are no error outputs and no error log in mysql database.
is it possible to turn on logging in php?

my mailserver works. you can write mails to test@translate.ch and you
can download mails (password: test).

is there an example configuration for roundcube with mysql and mailserver
on a remote server?

are there known problems with mysql 4.1 should i upgrade to 5.0? problems
with php 4?

...

In the config you can set the debug level to 8

Had the same problem.

I had:

mysql://myuser:mypassword@127.0.0.1/dbRoundcube

Changed it to:
mysql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/dbRoundcube

I thought it should be able to read 127.0.0.1 aswell but seems like it won't read ipadresses somehow.

thanks for your replies.

i tried to turn debug level to 8 but i wasn't able to do so. how do i do
that? in php.ini?

i tried to install roundcube on my database server. i installed iis and
php and changed the connection to
mysql://userass@localhost/dbRoundcube'
it didn't work. it seems i do not have a problem with database connection.

then i tried a reinstallation.
i changed:
$INSTALL_PATH = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

to

switch (php_sapi_name()){

case "apache":

$INSTALL_PATH = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

break;

case "cgi":

case "cgi-fcgi":

$INSTALL_PATH = dirname($_SERVER

["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);

break;

}

i found this code in an other post in roundcubeforum, which
doesn't exist anymore. the problem is php on windows doesn't
seem to support this 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' var. But 'PATH_TRANSLATED' isn't
supported either.

In the main.inc.php there is a value.

I had a remote installation and it did not like my ip either

I ended up doing on the actual server and using localhost and it worked

Have people used it with the an IP?

No. But many MySQL Servers only accept local connections!
