Topic: IMP 3.0?

[imp lover]

Has anyone implemented imp 3.0 on their sme servers?  IF so, how?

[Dan Brown]

There have been a lot of HOW-TO documents written for the SME server, and there's a pretty good list of them linked from the e-smith.org page.  Take a look for the "contributed HOWTOs" link; it should answer your question.

Thanks Dan, but i still have problems.
I've upgraded everything from UPdate1 and afterwards I upgraded php to 411.  I proceeded with the imp upgrades untill i saw a couple of the rpms trying to access the mysql server.  I had changed the root password for mysql so I'm guessing it can't access it.  Now i'm getting all sorts of mysql errors after i try to log into webmail without it showing any mails.  What should i do?  Please help.

thanks joseph

You need at least SME 5.1.2 to install imp 3.0.
I've tried to install imp 3.0 on my SME 5.0 server but that did not work.

I just installed ES5.1.2 this weekend (new install) and IMP was working. I upgraded my php to 4.1.2 as per the howto (same one for the 4.1.1) and that went OK. Then I tried to upgrade to IMP3.0 and now when I try to access my http://server/webmail, after logging in I get a blank page which is stuck on the page http://server/horde/imp/redirect.php. Other than following the both howtos step by step, I have made no configuration changes.

Has anyone else seen this? Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks for any help.

Joseph, it's hard to say what your problem is without seeing the error messages, but if you changed the MySQL root password, you may well have hosed things--why would you change it?

You need to run the scripts at /home/httpd/html/horde/scripts/db/mysql_create.sql and /home/httpd/html/horde/turba/scripts/drivers/turba.sql.

Christian, take a look at /var/log/messages--are there any messages there referring to example.com?

[Dan G.]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this straighten out passwords?  It's what I used when I had changed my password, and mysql apps were refusing to install:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld stop
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-mysql-password
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

As I understand it, that puts the ldap.pw password back into the .my.cnf and makes it match with some hardcoded references that some installs depend on.  Is this correct?

Dan,  I took a look at /var/log/messages and there was no reference to example.com. One of the things that I did try however, was replacing the new php.ini file with the original one from the SME install and that seems to have fixed everything. I will have to analyze the two files and see where the difference is in case someone else runs into the same issue.

Thanks for the help.

I too had the blank page problem on all my php stuff.  Where do I go to reset my php.ini back to the original?  I think it is a problem with the php upgrade that can't access the file...or something that didn't update.

Check out the horde.org troubleshooting page it may help.
http://www.horde.org/faq/admin/trouble/index.php#t38

I had an issue with the new version of the php.ini that caused mysql_pconnect errors. I just needed to add mysql support to the new version of the php.ini.
mysql support was not included in the php.ini that comes with the rmp for the new blade.

The php.ini file should be in your /etc directory. Look for the line
;extension = mysql.so
and remove the ; so the line will be
extension = mysql.so

I don't know if that is your problem but it may point in the right direction.

ok I upgraded from 4.1.1 to php 4.1.2 rpm just now.  All install ok, and here is the IMP error I received along with a blank html page after I turned on html error listing:

Warning: Use of undefined constant OP_HALFOPEN - assumed 'OP_HALFOPEN' in /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/lib/IMP.php on line 169

Warning: Use of undefined constant OP_ANONYMOUS - assumed 'OP_ANONYMOUS' in /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/lib/IMP.php on line 299

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_utf7_encode() in /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/lib/IMP.php on line 311

I had a similar problem when upgrading to IMP 3.0. The errors I got were referring to files not being found in the include_path.
After checking php.ini, and the PEAR files in the usr/shares/php folder, I decided to check httpd.ini. There is an include_path in there for php which did not point to the correct directory. I fixed that and restarted httpd and all looks good now.

Hope this helps, I'm still a bit of a novice with Linux...but learning!
