Could not connect to localhost:143: Permission denied

[MarkEHansen]

I've installed Roundcube Webmail 1.1.2 (complete version) on a CentOS 7.0 Linux machine.

When I browse to the application (http://localhost/webmail), I get the login page. I provide my credentials and get the following error on the page:

Connection to storage server failed.

I looked in the errors file in the logs directory and found the following entry:

[19-Sep-2015 15:09:45 +0000]: <ill0okmq> IMAP Error: Login failed for meh from 10.1.1.70. Could not connect to localhost:143: Permission denied in /var/www/html/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 198 (POST /webmail/?_task=login?_task=login&_action=login)

On the local host, I have an IMAP server running (and in use by the various e-mail clients, both local and remote). I'm guessing there some additional configuration which must be done. I looked in the config.inc.php file in the config directory, but don't see where I need to place my IMAP configuration information. Can someone please tell me where I need to place my configuration? Here are the settings I normally use to configure my other e-mail clients:

Code Select Expand

Server Type: IMAP
Server Name: {my server host name}
Port: 993
User Name: {my user name} (I assume this will come from the login page somehow)
Security Settings:
  Connection Security: SSL/TLS
  Authentication Method: Normal Password

Thanks for any help.

From my e-mail clients (I use Thunderbird mostly, but also have a couple Android devices with an IMAP client) - I can connect to the IMAP server from within my network using either SSL/TLS on port 993 or standard on port 143.

In looking at the HowTo_Config page, I tried the following settings, none of which work:

Code Select Expand

$config['default_host'] = 'tls://myhost:993';
$config['default_host'] = 'ssl://myhost:993';
$config['default_host'] = 'myhost:143';
$config['default_host'] = 'myhostIP:143';

In all cases, I get the following error:

What do I need to do to get the application to be able to log into my IMAP server?

Thanks for any help.

By default, SELinux on CentOS is preventing the Webserver from connecting to other network services.

I found this post with a solution:

That was it, thanks!
