Password Plugin Issues - Beating a Dead Horse

[crachnbrn]

I have a Joomla! Site hosted on Josthost.com ad with a sql backend.  I have attempted to follow the tutorials on enabling the password plugin, but I am still failing.  I am new to Joomla! and cpanel, but I have been learning quickly thanks to the boards.  I decided to use roundcube because I can customize the interface that is used.  I have turned on logging and I am getting the following error:


   DB Error: MDB2 Error: not found Query: _doQuery: [Error message: Could not execute statement] [Last executed query: SELECT update_passwd('$##7jjz/XYr$m/lJnP27g#MlG8Up%UPox/', 'test_user@go-itg.com')] [Native code: 1305] [Native message: FUNCTION goitgcom_rnd1.update_passwd does not exist]  in /home1/goitgcom/public_html/mail/program/include/rcube_mdb2.php on line 717 (POST /~goitgcom/mail/?_task=settings&_action=plugin.password-save?_task=&_action=)


I could really use some help figuring out the correct sql query for the password change to work.

Thank you in advance for any help..

If you are using cPanel then use the cPanel password driver not the SQL one.

If you are using cPanel then use the cPanel password driver not the SQL one.

 
I have to apologize for my ignorance, but how do you configure that?  I have followed the available tutorials and it still fails so I am left guessing that it must be a db query issue.  In fact, I am not sure what the problem is though.  Thats why I posted the log error.

Thanks for your response - can you please explain further though?

In /plugins/password/config.inc.php
Set password_driver to cpanel:

Code: [Select]

$rcmail_config['password_driver'] = 'cpanel';

Then set the cPanel settings:

Code: [Select]

// The cPanel Host name
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_host'] = 'host.domain.com';

// The cPanel admin username
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_username'] = 'username';

// The cPanel admin password
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_password'] = 'password';

// The cPanel port to use
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_port'] = 2082;

// Using ssl for cPanel connections?
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_ssl'] = true;

// The cPanel theme in use
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_theme'] = 'x';
To find the appropriate settings login to cPanel and when on the main page look at the url, it should look something like:

Code: [Select]

http://example.com:2082/frontend/x3/index.html
This is the data needed:

Code: [Select]

http://[B]Host[/B]:[B]Port[/B]/frontend/[B]Theme[/B]/index.html

This is what it should look like in the config file:

Code: [Select]

$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_host'] = '[B]Host[/B]';

$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_username'] = 'Your CPanel username';

$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_password'] = 'Your Cpanel password';

$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_port'] = [B]Port[/B];

$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_ssl'] = true;

$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_theme'] = '[B]Theme[/B]';

Thanks skaero - that was very helpful, but I still have a couple of questions...  In my main.inc.php, I have the following:

// The cPanel Host name
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_host'] = 'go-itg.com';

// The cPanel admin username
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_username'] = 'username';

// The cPanel admin password
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_password'] = 'password';

// The cPanel port to use
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_port'] = 2083;

// Using ssl for cPanel connections?
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_ssl'] = true;

// The cPanel theme in use
$rcmail_config['password_cpanel_theme'] = 'x';

Am I supposed to type the actual Username and Password in this file, or is it just a variable for whomever is logged into the system?

Also, my cpanel URL looks like this when I am logged in:  
https://login.justhost.com/frontend/justhost/index.html

So, where does this information go?

Thanks again....
