Resolved Horde webmail installation fails

[Kristo]

While installing Horde webmail service via Updates and Upgrades I´m getting some errors. Here are more details:

Plesk v12.5.30
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

Listing of the error parts in my psa log file (in occured order):

1. mail_restore_all
   

   ==> Checking for: mail_spam_restore... not found, skipped
   mailmng[19572]: Unable to detect IMAP/POP3 server type - no LDA found
   Errors occured in mail restore procedure
   Some utilities have exited with errors:
   /usr/lib/plesk-9.0:/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/remote_mail_restore:/opt/psa/admin/sbin
   Warning : failed to perform deferred action : mail_restore_all

   
   
2. Missing table horde_signups
   

   Trying to upgrade horde <= 3 to latest 3... done

3. Missing table turba_objects
   

   Trying to upgrade turba database 2.1 -> 2.2... done
   ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'horde.turba_objects' doesn't exist

   
   
4. Missing DB.php
   

   Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='/usr/share/psa-pear/pear/php:/usr/share/psa-horde/lib:/usr/share/psa-pear/pear/php:.') in /usr/share/psa-horde/turba/.upgrade/2.1_to_2.2_sql_schema.php on line 51

   
   
5. Missing table kronolith_events
   

   Trying to upgrade kronolith database 2.1 -> 2.2... ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 2: Table 'horde.kronolith_events' doesn't exist

   
   
6. Final ERROR warning
   

   ERROR while trying to Unable to upgrade kronolith database 2.1 -> 2.2, see psa log for details

The missing DB.php file seems to be a pear package which I could manage to install. In general I´m wondering if this might be an issue request for Horde Groupware themselves...

Anyone else having trouble here?

mailmng[19572]: Unable to detect IMAP/POP3 server type - no LDA found

This error message means that IMAP server is not installed on the server. Make sure that Dovecot or Courier IMAP server installed and then repeat Horde installation.

 

[Kristo]

Actually Dovecot is installed, activated and already in use. What could be wrong here?

So, you can see it as installed here

and here


right?

View attachment 11466
and here
View attachment 11467

right?

I can confirm both. The components in my case are for ubuntu of course. Versions are the same.

 

[IgorG]

I would suggest you run

# plesk repair installation

and then

# plesk repair mail

after that try to install Horde again.

 

[Kristo]

What a nice tool. After running both repair commands I restartet apache. While trying to install Horde again I´m now left with the errors 2 - 6 of my errors list above.

 

[IgorG]

I suggest you completely uninstall Horde and all related packages and install it back.

I´ve uninstalled Horde via plesk installer. There is still a "horde" database left. Can I remove it manually or is that database shiped with plesk?

 

[IgorG]

If you are absolutely sure that there are no any critical data, you may drop this table.

 

[Kristo]

I didn´t uninstall the installed packages (which seems to be psa-horde psa-imp psa-ingo psa-kronolith psa-mnemo psa-passwd psa-turba).
But after "removing" the old horde database (I actualy renamed it to horde__) Horde is now installed correctly and works like a charm.
