Comments on Using RoundCube Webmail With ISPConfig 3 On Debian Wheezy (Apache2)

Everything works fine with Larry skin (tried yesterday after instalaltion of Roundcube 0.9.1.)

i can confirm this! everything works fine with larry's theme.

I'm using ubuntu -  https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-14.04-apache2-php-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3

any suggestions ??

Hello,

Same config, same error... still searching...

Hello,

are the plugins running with roundcube 1.0.1?

Because since Update i got SOAP ERROR . NOT FOUND

see:

http://www.howtoforge.de/forum/installation-und-konfiguration-7/roundcube-soap-error-8218/#post41119

ok, found the solution on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-mcrypt/+bug/1243568

Simply type: sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Thierry

And then do:

sudo service apache2 restart

Worked for me.

Have you HowTo for install Roundcube 0.9 + ISPConfig 3 ?

One year ago, I can remember that the theme of Roundcube was not so much good but later many improvements were made in the theme. The problem in using mail server with hosting is that often emails go to spam or junk box if emails are sent to Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo.

Hello,
plugins are loaded and displayed data.
When I set up an automatic reply, so an error occurs:
Soap Error: Could not connect to host:

Login and password are correct.

please help
Thomas

I still have this problem!
Still no solution...looking wazzup. If I find - I will post answer. 

Please i have the same error :

Soap Error: Error Fetching http headers

who can help me ???

looks like you haven't installed the apache headers module. if you're debian install running apache 2, run this on the command line: 

~$: a2enmod headers

Sorry,
I am wrong...I have:
Soap Error: Error Fetching http headers

 Looking for soultion...

This happens when you have configured ISPConfig to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.  Go edit /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php and change the soap_url to have 'https' instead of 'http'.

Great job everything is correct 

I just want to say thank you for the guide on Roundcube. 

 Thank you for this "how to" is working very well for me. 

Regards, Olivier 

Danke für die ausführliche Anleitung. Jetzt kann ich wieder Roundcube bennutzen :)

Btw. I found no problems keeping the larry theme. 

 However the stable release of roundcube is rather outdated. To install 0.9.5 version I added to 

 /etc/apt/sources.list:

# Backports repository

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

Then run to install Roundcube 0.9.5

aptitude update

aptitude -t wheezy-backports install roundcube roundcube-plugins roundcube-plugins-extra

Followed the above, but only to end up with a non working mailserver. The mails can not be received or delivered afterwards. Removing Roundcube will make the mailserver work again. Tried the installation procedure serveral times, ending up with the same problem.

Clues anyone?

Excellent series of guides! Here is a fix which will prevent identities from being changed or additional ones created by the email user.

change the 'identities_level' in /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php

// Set identities access level:
// 0 - many identities with possibility to edit all params
// 1 - many identities with possibility to edit all params but not email address
// 2 - one identity with possibility to edit all params
// 3 - one identity with possibility to edit all params but not email address
// 4 - one identity with possibility to edit only signature
$rcmail_config['identities_level'] = 3;

Missing line 3? Unpac?

cd /tmp 

#(git clone https://github.com/w2c/ispconfig3_roundcube.git) wget clone https://github.com/w2c/ispconfig3_roundcube.git cd /tmp/ispconfig3_roundcube/ mv ispconfig3_* /var/lib/roundcube/plugins cd /var/lib/roundcube/plugins mv ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php.dist ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php

Note: It appears as though google pagespeed might break the plugins with the additions it makes to url requests... anyone confirm ?

I just wanted to point out that with PHP-FPM selected under Sites in ISPConfig, I was getting a blank screen even after following the guide meticulously. After switching to FastCGI and restarting Apache, it worked! Thanks for the guide. 

I can access with serverIP/webmail but cannot access from mydomain.com/webmail because all my sites are with mod-PHP and they dont work with fastcgi.

What can i do?

It is a very good idea to write the modified instructions in red and in underline.

 In this maner, it is impossible to see différence between "spacing caracter" and "underscore caracter" ! very good idea !!!

Edit : 

 i changed the line 132 & 143 (where it's about DateTimeZone) in ispconfig_autoreply.php to $dt->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone($this->rcmail_inst->config->get('timezone')));

It is working fine right now.

Hello,

I followed this great tutorial, everything is working fine except the autoreply, it loads nothing,

I've got this on the log : 

 tunmails.com:80 197.15.84.92 - - [29/Nov/2014:16:27:40 +0100] "GET /roundcube/?_task=settings&_action=plugin.ispconfig3_autoreply&_framed=1 HTTP/1.1" 500 484 "http://www.tunmails.com/roundcube/?_task=settings&_action=plugin.ispconfig3_account" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0"

 Any idea ?

Thanks

 Now I would like upgrade roundcube from 0.9x to 1.x ?

Any idea how to  do it? 

I would also love to learn how to upgrade to version 1.04 as 0,7 looks very outdated.

Thanks for your amazing work btw!

Awesome, Roundcube is WAY easier to use than Squirrelmail :)

Thanks for the guide.

Very Great!!thanx very much!!..

if you have problem with autoreply plugin (not showing)

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (1)' in /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_autoreply/ispconfig3_autoreply.php:132

then check your timezone settings in /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php

// use this timezone to display date/time$rcmail_config['timezone'] = 'auto';

and set it to your correct timezone, eg:

$rcmail_config['timezone'] = 'Europe/Berlin';

THANK YOU!!!

I followed this tutorial (but on Debian 8) ... I got to broken Apache and the following message:

I will be starting it all over again (without roundcube), however I would like to ask is it possible to make the Perfect server tutorials using roundcube, horde or any other webmail as squirellmail does not have HTML based text redactor (I rememmber it had a module for this, but it is such a pain to make it work). So Horde or roundube soon ?

hi

I did exactly the same things and endded up having SOAP error : badrequest for the password change.. am i missing anything else to do.

works like a charm .

2 minor observations :  https access is neede if your access to 8080 is secure , and option 3 ( identities rights ) 

thank you again for your GREAT work 

everything installed, and user created, config file in the right place, https activated, port 8080, .htaccess to allow the /remote folder ok, but still in error "wrong username & password" i've tried with different remote users, passwords… checked right, look at apache console … nothing. well I am stuck, any idea ? any ispconfig resync ? refresh ? thank

This is great but I really need to upgrade to version 1.1..... PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi, My clients complained of a 5MB attachement limit. After upping the limits in php.ini and Postfix as described in various forums I eventually found /etc/roundcube/htaccess also has a limitation :

php_value       upload_max_filesize     5M

php_value       post_max_size           6M

I upped these to 25M and 30M and all was well.

Hi,

Just installed latest ispconfig. Seems to work more or less. I have a strange behavior on emails. The emails are received but I don't see them in the webmail. Tried squirrelmail and roundcube, same thing.

However, when I look in the server, I can see the messages in the /var/spool/mail/[user] file

Chag

Done

https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/how-to-setup-the-plugin-change-password-of-roundcube-with-ispconfig3.40068/

It is highly recommended to not use that method as you bypass ISPConfig, your method will fail in larger setups and password corruption will occur or the password change will not take effect at all. Instead of using this plugin, just install the ISPConfig Roundcube plugin which contains a password changer that does the password change the correct way by using the ISPConfig remote API. The ISPConfig RoundCube plugin does not depend on a specific OS version, so you can use it with Debian 9 as well.

I have installed ispconfig on an Ubuntu 20.04 vps server and it runs on an nginx 1.18.0 server. I have successfully created a site with ssl and also an email. But on the Email Mailbox, when I try to click the https://IP:8080/mail/webmailer.php?id=1 link associated with an email account, I get a 404 Not Found page.

Could it be that I need to do some configuration on the server? Could it be that I need to do something on ispconfig?

I am quite new with ispconfig and obviously confused on what next to do to resolve this, and will appreciate any help to resolve this asap.
