hi,

Go to your RoundCube webmail directory and do that at the command line:
To apply the patch:

That all.

ah ok, sorry!

I don't know cpanel. My last post is for the Linux user that have an access to the command line.

Sorry again 123123.

Mike.

When I try to change the password I get the following error. 'An error occured while saving' Why might I be getting this.

Thanks

i get the same error...

any ideas?

what if the user/pass is stored in a corporate ms-sql database..? can I rewrite mysql_connect to eqivalent php mssql_connect...? keeping the logic is my concern, how to access the database should be irrelevant if the logic is not affected while doing so.

am I on the right track here..?

regards and thanks for a real webmail interface !

I decided to upgrade to beta2.
I applied this patch to roundcube-beta2, and all seems to have gone well except that when I go to change my password, there are no fields to change the password.

I had this patch working on the previous version of Roundcube.

Any ideas

When I got the error 'An error occured while saving' I checked the logs/errors file which told me 'PHP Warning: mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/rc/ext/change_password_function.inc on line 47' . I checked that location and it seems one is supposed to enter info about the mysql database of the imap server (assumed to be postfix). I hope that this info help others in solving this problem ('An error occured while saving'). Unfortunately, the imap server I use is a squirrelmail server, which uses a mysql database but I dont think that passwords are stored there (squirrelmail, at least the way it's set up by me, uses the servers user database in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow).
I am not a programmer; Is there a way to modify the change_password_function to change a squirelmail password which is actually a linux system password?(when we change user's passwords, we [the system admins] have to log on to the linux/squirrel mail server and use the passwd command).
This is a great add-on to roundcube; if only it could be easily configured to change passwords on a few types of imap servers (postfix, squirrelmail, exim, etc.) with various database configurations (mysql, postgres,ldap, etc) it would be a MAGNIFICENT add-on.

Thanks for the Contrib, works great with beta2 and hMailServer!!

Hi Bozhe,

See my thread on "changing /etc/shadow" password plug-in. It works and is finalized (and I have it in production). Just as a note - different imap servers maintain user data differently. Cyrus IMAP keeps it in the sasl database (non-local users) and therefore pretty easy to change. Others keep mysql databases for user id/pw. UW-imap and other services like samba, ftp etc. require you have "local users" and changing those passwords is not as easy (requiring that user access - as in setuid - or root access). This is difficult to impossible for the web server to do and is best achieved with cgi. This is how squirrel did it - and how I approached it.

If you are running local users - and want pw change functionality built right into the preferences tab - check this thread - try it and let me know if you have any comment!!
