Horde-Imp more help needed

[Joe-Cho]

Hello,

I have tried this on Redhat 8.0-2.4.18-14 with your advices.
however, I still have a connection problem.

you know what, you haven't mentioned what you did before you install Horde and IMP.
I guess my real problem is that I messed on that portion.

Typically, Horde webmail is based on  PHP, it is crucial to make sure that
my PHP configuration is right, otherwise, there is no way I can accomplish this stuff.

So, if you don't mind, could you advise me how I should configure this  PHP with what version?
typically what options ( packages) need to do.
previously, I have done this way:

Install apache_1.3.27

#tar xzf apache_1.3.27.tar.gz
#cd apache_1.3.27
#./configure --prefix=/var/www/http

#make
#make install

after that I install php with those options ( including packages) like this:

#cd php-4.2.3
#./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27 --with-gettext=/usr/local/bin --with-openssl 
--with-zlib --with-imap=../imap-2002b --with-imap-ssl=../imap-2002b --with-aspell

#make
#make install

#cp php.ini-dist /var/www/http/conf/php.ini

until this stage, it looks ok, but I'm not sure.

then,
I did the same procedure you mentioned last time per Horde/docs/INSTALL
there was no much trouble configuring MySQL until the end of the last line.
Of course, with a silent prayer.

but, it still doesn't connect to the mail server, I mean it doesn't allow me to log in
thru the login interface on web browser
http://host/horde/imp/

One thing I learned that there are some thing I need to edit
ont the /var/www/http/php.ini
like include_path,
auto_prepend_file like that.

I don't know what the directories/ files are.
if I add one of those files, i got a bunch of errors.
but if I don't add any, then there is no  error.
well, there is something gotta be.
that's one thing I', missing.

This time, I want to make sure that I am doing right.
I already did 2 ~3 times, it turned out the same result.

This time, I reload this Redhat box from the scratch,
I configured sendmail working,
that's all I did.

Is it possbile because I am using Redhat8.0 instead of 7.2/7.3 I wonder.

I am going to wait before I messed up again.

Could you help me out what the problem are.

Thanks in advance,

Joe Cho

Subject: Installing Imp

I have installed Imp on two systems, and I don't think you can get much 
simpler than the directions in the INSTALL files. 
 
Downnload horde 
untar 
move to /var/www/http/horde 
cd /var/www/http/horde 
screen 
less docs/INSTALL 
<new screen> 
create MySQL user per INSTALL 
Test user login to MySQL 
create databases from scripts/... per INSTALL 
cd horde/config 
create php config files using 'for foo in...' per INSTALL 
open <site> horde/test.php 
Correct any errors 
download imp 
<close screen> 
close INSTALL 
download/untar imp 
move to horde/imp 
create imp php configuration files 
edit horde/config/horde.php to set password for MySQL 
edit horde/config/registry.php to set horde to use imp login and activate imp 
edit horde/imp/config/conf.php to set authentication options (IMAP is what I 
use) 
edit horde/imp/config/sources.php to point to your mail source (IMAP again). 
Optional: install Turba. 
 
Be sure to follow the Admin FAQ at horde.org in case of errors, but if you 
just go through each INSTALL file step-by-step it works fine.  You may 
encounter a common PHP error which is documented in the FAQ about an illegal 
call on line 64, just edit the file with the error and remove the obsolete 
"is_error" statement per the FAQ. 
 
Seriously, if you just follow the INSTALL files and check the FAQ if you get 
an error, you should be up and running in an hour.
