switching from squirrelmail, but roundcube not communicating

[johnzbesko]

OK, so I fixed my apache2 server and when I now run info.php, all the diagnostics point to php7.2

roundcube still doesn't work and the error message:

DB Error: Configuration error. Unsupported database driver:  in /usr/share/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php on line 84 (GET /index.php)

still appears.  Looking at the code on line 84, I note the error message doesn't include $driver

Can you post your config.inc.php?

Interesting, where does the following line come from?

Code Select Expand


/* Do not set db_dsnw here, use dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core to configure database ! */// The IMAP host chosen to perform the log-in.


It looks like you maybe using some sort of modified version of Roundcube that is doing something different with the database connection. I think thats why the installer can see it but not the main Roundcube install.

[johnzbesko]

I'm using the Ubuntu 18.04 version, installed using synaptic. Perhaps that package needs updating? Or do I need to uninstall and install from roundcube.net/download ?

[SKaero]

I would scrap that install and try a fresh install downloaded directly from Roundcube, use the complete package.
