Topic: Unable to add contacs in webmail (SME 5.5)

[Jacob]

I am unable to add contacts in the IMP-webmail in SME 5.5.
When i try, it returns:
 
"Failed to connect to the specified directory."
 
And I have not changed anything under options, so can't quite figure out what it is.
Hope someone can help?

Regards

On the options screen, under addressbooks, what is selected under "Choose the addressbook to use when adding addresses"?

[Jacob]

There are 2 options  "My Adressbook" and "None", and "My Adressbook" is selected.
I would like to be able to add the contacts to ldap, so that I can use them in MS Outlook. Is that possible somehow?

I am getting the same error.  'My Addressbook' is selected under Addressbooks as well.  It also doesn't seem to be holding the settings when I select what to store when searching address books.  Weird?

I've duplicated this problem on a fresh 5.5 installation.  Here's what you need to do to fix it:

Log in as root, and run these commands:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/html/httpd/horde/turba/config/sources.php
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/html/httpd/horde/turba/config/conf.php

(those are two commands, and should be a total of two lines).

Thanks Dan, that seemed to do the trick.  One problem though in the syntax.  'html/httpd' are reversed, should be 'httpd/html', like this:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/httpd/html/horde/turba/config/sources.php
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/httpd/html/horde/turba/config/conf.php

Otherwise, everything works as advertised.  Thanks again!

Um, yeah, that's what I meant to type...  (-:  Glad it worked!  Bug report is filed.
