Currently running 1.4.10 and everything was fine until my email host eliminated TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Also changing the default SMTP port from 587 to 465. Since then, I can no longer send email. I can log in and read email, I just can't send.
I checked my config file and changed the port for SMTP, but that didn't help. At this point I suspected that 1.4.10 simply doesn't support TSL 1.2 and higher, so I downloaded 1.6.0 and attempted an upgrade (which I've done many times with no issue).
Download, extraction, backup of my site and database all fine... but when I run the "installto" script, I get an error:
[linux_host][/home/webmail.tmp]$ ./bin/installto.sh ../webmail/
Content-type: text/html
<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected ':' in <b>/home/webmail.tmp/bin/installto.sh</b> on line <b>55</b><br />
I don't see there is an unexpected ':' on line 55, but as a test, I commented out line 55 and make a static parameter definition of "y" and it got passed it and generated another syntax error on a later line. I suspect these is another problem causing the syntax errors in the script and I wasn't getting anywhere by working around them.
I couldn't find anything on upgrades directly from 1.4.10 to 1.6.0, so I don't know if there may be interim upgrade versions required.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
You're using some ancient PHP version. Roundcube 1.6.0 requires PHP 7.3.
Currently using PHP 7.4. I can upgrade to 8.0 if that's not sufficient.
webserver and cli versions of php can be different. check the cli version you are running. the ternary operator was added in PHP 5.3
Thanks for responding JohnDoe.
Good catch... this does happen to be the case with my hosting provider. The CLI binary is symbolic linked to an ancient PHP version (4.4.9). I don't know why they are linking "php" to a binary that old as they have binaries up to 8.1 available. Unfortunately, I can't change the link as it is in a shared area (/usr/bin) and I don't have permissions. I'm not using a dedicated host. I've asked the hosting vendor to change the link to 7.4. We'll see if they do/can.
In the meantime, is it a safe assumption that Roundcube 1.4.10 can't be made to support TLS 1.2+?
As an added thought, I'm a little surprised the installto.sh script doesn't do a quick PHP -v check to have a clean error report rather than just randomly crashing with a syntax error. The script checks a huge number of other things, so adding one more for PHP version seems simple enough.

I'll answer this myself... 1.4.10 does support TLS 1.2+.
This thread helped shed some light on the STARTTLS config file entry... https://www.roundcubeforum.net/index.php/topic,29923.0.html
So adding TLS:// to the SMTP entry fixed my problem. I still need to figure out the PHP linking issue, but at least my webmail instance can send and receive email.
Thanks for the suggestions all.
