Topic: Web Mail fails after upgrade to 4.1

[Joe Gardner]

Upgraded my 4.0x system to 4.1 (chose the upgrade option) and now my web mail seems to have failed.  When I go to the old URL with www.mydomain.com/horde/imp I simply get a listing of what is in those directories.  I was under the impression that 4.1 was changing the URL to www.mydomain.com/webmail but this does not seem to be the case.

Any clues??

Regards,

Joe

There was no webmail in 4.0 or 4.0.1.

4.1 does use the www.mydomain.com/webmail alias, but you have to turn it on first from the e-smith manager.  Its disabled by default.  Though it shouldn't be showing the contents of the directory (I suspect that is because of a previously modified server having webmail installed) - it should show an error that it is not enabled.

Go to the 'Other Mail Settings' panel on the e-smith manager and enable webmail, that should fix it.

Thanks Jason found it and yes I had installed the web-mail in 4.0x.  Now the problem is that it comes back and gives me

Warning: Access denied for user: 'hordemgr@localhost" (Using password: YES) in /home/httpd/horde-phplib/db_mysql.inc on line 73


Thanks,

This is because you changed the default password for the hordemgr user before, but e-smith keeps the default password.  To fix, do this:

# mysql
mysql> grant all on horde.* to hordemgr@localhost identified by 'hordemgr';
mysql> quit
# mysqladmin reload

Kewl,

That did the trick.

Thanks
