Initial setup
« on: November 25, 2010, 02:14:22 PM »
Hello, I am trying to get RoundCube setup on a 1and1 host and need some help.

I set 1and1 to support php5 by adding 'AddType x-mapp-php5 .php' to the .htaccess file

I created a mysql db.  1and1 asks for a 'description' so i called it roundcube.
It asks for a password and I set it.

1and1 shows the newley created database name as 'db123456'
it also show the username as 'dbo123456'
it shows the host name as 'db1234.perfora.net'

I then follow the directions to config roundcube.
I go to http://www.domain.com/webmail/installer
I click start installation
the RC page 1 shows that everything is a go
I click 'create config'

I only change the database setup to:
database type - mySql
DB server - db1234.perfora.net
DB name - db123456
DB username - dbo123456
DB password - pass

I then add the SMTP settings

Then I add the contents of the mysql.initial.sql file to the 1and1 database.

I click on phpMyadmin next to the db123456 name and the mysql Administrator opens up.

I click ion the little SQL symbol at the upper left and I get the 'Run SQL query/queries on database' window
I then copy the mysql.initial.sql text contents to the window and press GO.

Now I go back to the roundcube webmail installer.
I click 'Test Config' and everything comes up as green 'OK'

I test the smtp sending--- 'OK'
I test the imap config --- 'OK'

Fianally, I get to the part where I test the actual website...
I type http://www.domain.com/webmail
And all I get is a blank page!!

Its driving me nuts.

I read that I should give privileges to the user of the db.... how??
Can anyone help?  I am soooo fricken close.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

You will need to ask your host how to assign privileges to the database.
