Password Plugin Not Allowing Passwords To Be Changed

[clifton11221]

I'm using the password plugin... However, it won't allow me (or any users) to change my password. Even if I use a very complex password , I still receive an error that states "Could not save password".

I'm using RC version 1.1.1.  My host is JustHost.  Below are my configuration settings:

You need to configure the password plugin, read the README in the password plugin folder.

Hi everybody. I'm new here and I'm glad to be part of this comunity. I believe Roundcube is a great software and thats why we decided to use it for our clients. I'm not a english native speaker, so sorry about errors of any kind.

Sorry to bring this topic back after so many time. I have almost the same problem, the difference is it only happens when I use a multiple domain configuration, for a single domain it works. My host is Hostmonster.

I read the README in the password plugin folder as suggested by SKaero, but I could't find any information that could help me solve this.

The intersting thing is when I try to change the password, if I use the actual password I receive the message that the password was changed, but if I inform a new password I receive the message it was not possible to change the password.

Thank you!

[SKaero]

Its possible in your case that your not meeting the password requirements required by your host. Check with your host they may require numbers, symbols, etc.

[Teci9]

Well, I was readind the errors log file and I don't have the update_passwd function in rcube_db.php file.

[12-Jul-2015 15:39:10 -0600]: <e8v7t4iu> DB Error: [1305] FUNCTION xxxxx_webmail.update_passwd does not exist (SQL Query: SELECT update_passwd('$1$5ptun4Lc$0xbIMGXOWKV/bxLi0SA1F1', '[email protected]')) in /home1/xxxxx/public_html/webmail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php on line 543 (POST /?_task=settings&_action=plugin.password-save?_task=&_action=)

I'm using the default settings in password plugin configuration file:

$config['password_query'] = 'SELECT update_passwd(%c, %u)';

How can I get the update_passwd function?

Hi SKaero, thanks for helping. I tried that but it didn't work.

I found this post from 2012 where you answer exactly what I need, but do you know if it still works with the actual versoin of Roundcube? The member (KeyJockey) uses the same host I do. Maybe the solution is to use the Cpanel driver.

http://www.roundcubeforum.net/index.php?topic=9677.0

[SKaero]

Yes you would need to use the cPanel driver.
