Horde Webmail Configuration Errors

[Eric Pretorious]

When I use apachectl to list the mdules that Apache's loaded apachectl complains:

[root@www cyberhobo.rocket-powered.com]# apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
httpd: Syntax error on line 221 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 19 of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated/13694961050.69370200_horde.include: Syntax error on line 29 of [COLOR="#00FF00"]/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf[/COLOR]: Could not open configuration file[COLOR="#FF0000"] /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated/13711743010.86118300_pray_example_com_webmail.include[/COLOR]: No such file or directory

Looking inside of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf:

[root@www conf]# cat [COLOR="#00FF00"]/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf[/COLOR]
#ATTENTION!
#
#DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY,
#SO ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST THE NEXT TIME THE FILE IS GENERATED.
...
Include '[COLOR="#FF0000"]/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated/13711743010.86118300_pray_example_com_webmail.include[/COLOR]'
...'

and comparing the contents of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated/, I can see that the file (13711743010.86118300_pray_example_com_webmail.include) is absent.

1. How should I fix this situation? i.e., How can I force Plesk to regenerate the *_webmail.include files in the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated/ directory?
2. Can I disable webmail for subscriptions and/or domains?

While perusing the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated directory, I noticed a dozen stale symlinks and while I was cleaning them up...

[root@www conf]# pwd
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf

[root@www conf]# find -L generated/ -type l | wc -l
19

[root@www conf]# find -L generated -type l -delete


[root@www conf]# find -L generated/ -type l | wc -l
0

...the error seems to have cleared itself up:

[root@www conf]# apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
Loaded Modules:
 core_module (static)
 mpm_prefork_module (static)
 http_module (static)
 so_module (static)
 auth_basic_module (shared)
 auth_digest_module (shared)
 ...
Syntax OK

I verified that all of the *_webmail.include files listed in webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf exist:

[root@www conf]# perl -e 'open(FILE,"webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf") or die ; while (<FILE>) { if (m/.*\/(.*_webmail.include)/) { push (@files,$1) } } ; for (sort @files) { if (! -e "./generated/$_") {print "$_ MISSING\n"}  } '

...but I'm still a bit puzzled, however: There are many more *_webmail.include files in the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/generated directory than are listed in webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf:

[root@www conf]# find generated -type f -name '*_webmail.include' | wc -l
133

[root@www conf]# wc -l webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf
31 webmail_horde_bootstrap.conf

Is this the expected behavior?
Can/Should I disable webmail for unused domains?

 

[Nikolay.]

Just run httpdmng --reconfigure-all to re-generate all web server configuration files.

You can disable webmail, but I don't see much reason to.


Also, please always post your exact Plesk and OS versions for others to be able to help you.

Thanks, Nikolay.
