DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

[Martur]

I installed the 0.7.2-9 Debian package of roundcube but after installation I cannot connect to the database.

DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!The information in

Code: [Select]

/etc/roundcube/debian-db.php seems to be correct - I can login with this information in console mysql and via phpmyadmin.
I ran dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core several times. At first I tried to maintain the old database (I had a manually installed version of roundcube running beforehand) but then I created a new database with new roundcubeuser. Always the dpkg-reconfigure ends up with:

chown: cannot access `/var/lib/roundcube/temp': No such file or directoryI checked the postinstallation script of the deb package but the fix_symlinks section is a bit confusing to me, and I am not even sure the chown error has anything to do with the problem on hand (it is the last line of the postinstallaion script anyway).

I would recommend installing Roundcube manually, the versions in the repositories are almost always outdated and often broken.
