Trouble installing Roundcube 1.6.0

(1/3) > >>

Hello,

I have recently been following Xiao Guoan's excellent tutorial series on creating a mail server from scratch. It can be found over on linuxbabe.com. The only section where I've really run into trouble is installing Roundcube. The steps I followed for installation can be found here: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-roundcube-webmail-ubuntu-postgresql. During my instalI process, I did everything the same as in this tutorial, with the exception of installing newer 8.1 PHP packages and downloading 1.6.0 instead of 1.5.2. However, whenever I go to the web site, instead of seeing the web-based installer, I get the "Oops, something went wrong. An internal error has occurred. Your request cannot be processed at this time."

Checking /var/www/roundcube/logs/errors.log, the error file, doesn't clear much of anything up. It throws SQL error 2002, saying that there is "no such file or directory" and the error can be found in /var/www/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php , at line 200.

Line 200 itself is just the line of code that throws the error. Taking a look at the preceding lines of code appears that perhaps Roundcube is having a difficult time opening the imported Postgres database?

Another hint might be that this problem has persisted even after I deleted the entire Roundcube directory, dropped the Roundcube pgsql database and associated user, and restarted from the top of the Roundcube tutorial. So potentially this could be related to a configuration parameter outside of Roundcube, for instance, in Apache?

 I'm not very knowledgeable about PHP or SQL, so I don't exactly have the tools to troubleshoot this. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

When you configure the database connect in Roundcube are you setting the database host to "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"?

127.0.0.1 I believe. The command that the tutorial tells me to issue to connect the database is this one:


--- Code: ---psql -h 127.0.0.1 -d roundcube -U roundcubeuser -W -f /var/www/roundcube/SQL/postgres.initial.sql
--- End code ---

I'm referring to what you enter at step Step 7: Finish the Installation in Web Browser for the Database server.

Oh, I haven't gotten there. I can't even open the web-based install.
