Hello,
For close to a year now our Horde installation has not worked. We had tried a number of things from increasing file descriptors to installing older versions of Apache and PHP and even Horde itself, to no avail.
In the meantime we have been using squirrelmail, and all of our customers using webmail have switched over, but some certainly prefer horde due to it's nicer looks.
I found a number of forum posts that discussed it, and only people on Debian or FBSD who were able to recompile everything seemed to get it working (not quite sure how that worked for people on RedHat). The point of the recompile was to inrease file descriptors though, which is something that could be accomplished without recompiling in RedHat.
I finally decided to tackle the problem again today/last night, and got it all fixed after a number of hours of work! So I hope this will fix it for many others with the same problem as well.
NOTE: Before doing this, please try increasing your max file descriptors, since that will often fix a problem with the same symptoms. Do a search of this forum, since that's where I found it, just can't remember exactly where! If I find it, I'll update this with the link.
Edit the file /etc/psa-horde/imp/servers.php.
Most of it is comments explaining how to configure it, so just skip right to the bottom. The following code is from the imap section and not the pop3 section:
$servers['imap'] = array(
'name' => 'IMAP Server',
'server' => 'localhost',
'hordeauth' => full,
'protocol' => 'imap/ssl/novalidate-cert',
'port' => 993,
'maildomain' => $DomainName ,
'smtphost' => 'localhost',
'smtpport' => 25,
'realm' => '',
'preferred' => '',
);
The three changes I made are hordeauth = full, protocol imap/ssl/novalidate-cert and port 993.
For some reason using standard authentication with the local imap server fails. From the research I've done it appears to be due to php-imap not working properly with the courier-imap server installed (why it works on some and not others, I have no clue). I do not believe the hordeauth variable is required to be changed, just the other two.
With this change I am able to login EVERY time with Horde, and if anyone wishes to follow my directions (somewhere on this forum) for installing squirrelmail, it will allow them to work in conjunction (squirrel at mail.yourdomain.com, horde at webmail.yourdomain.com). Just don't do the steps that ask you to remove horde.
I hope this fixes the problem for plenty of other people as well!
