I have what I hope is a very modest request, which would have saved myself countless hours of trouble-shooting.
I'm fairly new to Linux, but I tried to install roundcube to CentOS 5.5 64-bit and had a ton of trouble on Step 3 of the installation process due to a simple error that could have been avoided with clearer instructions.
My problem:
After copying my config data into main.inc.php and db.inc.php and hit 'Continue' to go to step 3, all I would see is a blank page. No error messages and nothing in the logs whatsoever. I couldn't even find anything in the forums or on google to assist.
The culprit:
I was attempting to copy the config data and paste it into nano through a putty session. Unfortunately, it turns out that nano likes to word-wrap things. Many of the single-line comments in the config files ended up wrapping around and causing apache to choke.
My solution:
I was able to instead paste into vi, which did not wrap the comments. Installation was successful.
My request:
On the installation how-to (http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Install), can you please make a note so users know that simply copying and pasting into a shell terminal (specifically when using nano) may NOT work?
Thank you for the great product! If this didn't seem like such a great piece of software, I wouldn't have taken the vast amount of time troubleshooting my noob-error.
