Could not connect to server.net at port 143: Connection timed out

Hi

I just did a new install of rc1. I now get an error
Could not connect to server.net at port 143: Connection timed out

I can telnet to port 143 OK
I tried changing loacalhost in db.inc.php to server.net and ip address. Then I get a massage
DB Error in /home/ehme/public_html/mail/program/include/rcube_db.inc (105): DB Error: connect failed
DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION

Hence I assume that I can connect to the database.
At the moment I have no records in the database.

I have installed Rouncube on another server and all works!

Any ideas?

Chris

Go in to your main.inc.php and go to where it says $rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 1; change 1 to 8. Then do you get an error?

harrisc:
With debug level set at 8, the console window was shown, but nothing in it. There was the normal text that login failed.


With debug level set at 4, the message was
IMAP Error: Could not connect to mail.internode.on.net at port 143: Connection timed out
There was the normal text that login failed.

Still no further advanced!

Has anyone any ideas what I have done?

Hi harrisc,

I'm facing a somehow similar situation and what I did in order to be able to login is NOT recommended because it could represent a security threat. I wrote a post to seek for help but no reply until now.

The only way I can connect is by creating an user in MySql with a blank password. So in the db.inc.php on line 21 I have:

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://UserWithBlankPassword:@localhost/roundcube';

Don't know if this will help you. Good luck!
