Horde Webmail IfModule not allowed here

[onycro]

Hello there forum users,

I am operating a plesk 12 on ubuntu 14. I configured plesk to use horde as webmailservice. But currently there is an issue with the .htaccess file.

This is what /var/log/apache2/error.log says:
/usr/share/psa-horde/.htaccess: <IfModule not allowed here

My question is: How to resolve that issue? This is what I tried

1. Reconfigure the domain
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain mydomain.tld
-> Nothing changed

2. Research
I found out that it could probably the missing directive: AllowOverride
But where to add this and do you also think this directive is the problem?

Hi onycro,

to activate the extension "mod_rewrite" with apache 2.4, you would use the command

a2enmod rewrite​

afterwards, please restart your webserver with "service apache2 restart".

To continue, please reconfigure your configuration files with

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all​

Hello UFHH01,

I've done everything that you've said and everything worked like a charm without an error. But still the error exists.

Hi onycro,

consider to change the webmail - software from horde to roundcube and test, if roundcube works. If it works, you certainly have the choice to re-change your webmail - software again back to horde and report each issue/problem you might have with the help of errors from logs please.
