Roundcube does not work out of the box on Buster #345

Closed khushman1 closed 2 years ago

khushman1 commented 4 years ago

Installed a fresh version with Roundcube, sogo, and other defaults, and Roundcube doesn't work out of the box. The MTA/SMTP servers work, as I can send and receive email from Thunderbird, but roundcube consistently gives me a HTTP 500 error. I've been trying to debug this issue, and from what I can tell, it is configured to use mysql, but the scripts don't install a version of the server. Will see if manually installing the server helps and report back.

Updates:

  1. Needed to install php-mysql package to get past the HTTP 500 errors. Now roundcube doesn't login, and I'm trying to fix that.
  2. Needed to create a roundcube database, user, and password from /etc/dbconfig-common/roundcube.conf and run the mysql initalization script from /usr/share/roundcube/SQL/

Thanks for your feedback, I was aware of the issue. The default installation of RoundCube on Debian Stretch seemed to create the database, so I was expecting an update from buster to do the same. I may use an SQLite too, which should be enough for a family. I am considering using only one solution, for instance SOGo, so I did not pass too much time on this.

Roundcube may not work on Buster, but I am actually working directly with Bullseye, so we should have something on this release directly.

I think I am going to remove RoundCube from HomeBox, I am happy with SOGo so far.

I've implemented nextcloud with my homebox and use that for mail, which works out to be a pretty good email/online office solution. Thanks for the updates!

I am always a little bit reluctant about PHP and its security holes... Does NextCloud are finally offering a Debian repository ?
