Disclaimer: I have never successfully configured the password plugin to work with hmail on Roundcube.

My system:
Windows 2008 R2 Standard
hMailServer 5.4-B1950
Roundcube 0.9.5
PHP 5.5.7 non thread safe

I have enabled dcom in php.ini. I have added the IUSR account to the DCOM properties of hMailServer. I have modified the password config.inc.php to use hmail, remote server=false, server=localhost. In Roundcube web interface I see the password option in Settings, but when I enter a new password it just shows the standard "The website cannot display the page" message with the URL: http://serveraddress/?_task=settings&_action=plugin.password-save

Previously with PHP 5.3 and Roundcube 0.9.2. It would display an error message on the password page (can't remember what it said).

Any ideas?

EDIT: RESOLVED
With PHP 5.5.7 in the php.ini file you need to both:
Uncomment the line: com.allow_dcom = true
Add the line: extension=php_com_dotnet.dll

In the DCOM Config properties for hMailServer, add IIS_IUSRS to Launch and Activation Permissions with local allow access (I also added it to Access Permissions and Configuration Permissions, but I don't think those are necessary)

After making these changes, the password plugin works as expected!

Is there anything in the server logs?

There is nothing in the Windows logs.

The Rouncube log shows this entry:

[01-Jan-2014 20:38:02 US/Eastern] PHP Fatal error:  Class 'COM' not found in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\roundcube\plugins\password\drivers\hmail.php on line 26

Sorry for the double post.

I added this line to the php.ini file:
extension=php_com_dotnet.dll

Now I don't get the page cannot be displayed error, but roundcube pops up an error saying the password could not be saved. This is what is in the log file:
[01-Jan-2014 21:14:58 -0500]: Plugin password (hmail driver): Failed to create COM object `hMailServer.Application': Access is denied.
[01-Jan-2014 21:14:58 -0500]: Plugin password (hmail driver): This problem is often caused by DCOM permissions not being set.

I gave the IUSR account access in DCOM, but maybe that wasn't right?

I'm not a Windows expert so I'm afraid I can't be of too much more help, but it sounds like this problem: http://www.roundcubeforum.net/index.php?topic=7329.0

I managed to resolve the issue! See my edit on the first post.

Also, can a moderator move this to the Resolved section?
