Hi all,

I have a working Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP with postfix, dovecot and roundcube 1.2.0 installed. running really well.

Today I decided to install the carddav plugin into roundcube and now the webgui has crashed with the DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED! error

I checked the config/config.inc.php for any changes, but other than the addition of the plugin at the bottom, I have changed nothing.

I can log into the roundcubemail database using phpmyadmin

I have restarted the services, and even rebooted the server itself too

Any ideas?

Thanks

Check the error log. This error message may be caused by missing tables or wrong database structure.

Hi

Which error log do I look at, the apache one is not revealing anything.

Also, is there a procedure on how to remove an installed plugin? I used composer to install, if I just just remove it from the config file, if it is enough to reverse this plugin install and the database problems.

Regards
