Topic: Snafu'd my IMP

Now back to the original problem - IMP(Horde, I think) is Snafu'd
login to https://xend.net/webmail and this is the first thing you'll see:

Warning: Use of undefined constant SORTARRIVAL - assumed 'SORTARRIVAL' in /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/prefs.php on line 233

Any ideas?

Thanks

Short answer: no.  However, it sounds like something with the config files.  Did you follow all of my howto, including installing dcb-e-smith-{horde|imp|turba}?

Dan,

I followed the howto to the letter - after the fact - if you recall, I installed php4.1.2
as an rpm before all this happened because some program I was installing needed mcrypt.  I couldn't install mcrypt due to some missing deps.

I admit I jumped the gun on this whole thing, but I'm certain there's a way to fix it without reinstalling SME 5.1.2, which I love, BTW.

Thanks

What is the default root password for mysql?

Anyone?

[Dan Brown]

I wrote this to answer a slightly different question, but the answer to your question is also there:

There is no "default" password.  A 70some character password is randomly generated at time of install.  You can see this password by going to the hidden file in your root directory called ".my.cnf"  (pico .my.cnf while in the root folder).
Hope it helps.

You know since this happened I've read all the posts about not changing your mysql password, but I wanted to install phpMyAdmin and didn't know about the how-to that was written for it.  I still don't know how to find out the password for mysql on a new install.

I did know that I could launch mysql with just that command - mysql - as root.

The problem was that I needed to know the password so I could install phpMyAdmin using http authentication.

Bottom line:  I changed the mysql root password.  My bad.  Now I know.
Question:  Is the password in .my.cnf unencrypted?
If so I will simply restore it, copy and paste into my http authentication dialog and save it.

Could it be that easy?

[Dan Brown]

No, the password is not encrypted--it's just a really long random string.

ALL IS WELL!

I 'Upgraded' my server i.e. restored the defaults without erasing everything on it.

Thanks to everyone who helped.
