Bluehost CPanel password change
« on: February 02, 2022, 01:01:46 PM »
I've been working on this for 3 or 4 days now, and I'm at a loss of what the problem is. Took me a little bit to figure out how to even get the password change option to show up. I've played with a few other plugins, but none of them seem to work. CPanel is the only one that really shows some sign of life. I'm assuming because Bluehost uses CPanel? I don't know, I'm new to all this. When the user attempts to change the password, it says "Could not save new password."

I've searched through the forums, and find a lot of people were having similar issues, but they're dating back 2010-2017. Both Roundcube and CPanel password driver have been updated recently.

The only workaround I found was to have a direct link to the CPanel webmail client, which uses Horde or Roundcube (user choice), and that is not what I'm wanting.

The CPanel driver should be the correct option. Have you set the `password_cpanel_host` config option? Is there an error in the roundcube log?

Thank you for your reply.

If this is the line you're asking about, this is a direct copy from the cpanel.php file

Code: [Select]
     $host = $config->get('password_cpanel_host', $storage_host);
Or is this the line? Direct (almost) copy from my config.inc.php file

Code: [Select]
// cPanel Driver options
// ---------------------
// The cPanel Host name
$config['password_cpanel_host'] = 'mail.[private].com';

// The cPanel port to use
$config['password_cpanel_port'] = 2096;

Weirdest thing just happened...

I just went to attempt to change the password to see if I could find an error log (force an error so I could get an up to date timestamp), and it just said "Successfully changed!"

I haven't changed anything regarding the password driver, or anything in relation to the webmail client. I've been banging my head for a few days trying to figure this out, and it just decided to work.
