Title: the mysql + webmail relationship
Post by: steve mac on August 13, 2001, 08:01:08 AM

am i correct in thinking that if i am mucking around with a mysql database that possibly webmail would stop working? I feel some strange relation between the two of them.

If anyone out there could tell me how to find out if php is working, I would appreciate it.

thanks,

steve macgregor

MySQL is used by IMP for three things: user preference storage, address book storage, and session management.  All of these are done, if memory serves, in the horde database, so changes made to other databases shouldn't make a difference.

To check if PHP is working, create a page called test.php containing the following line:



...and place it somewhere where your web server can read it.  Then browse to that file with your favorite browser.  If you get an informative page, PHP is working.  If you don't, it isn't, at least for that location.
