Can´t make IMAP to work with PHP

lineartube · Feb 20, 2006

Hi,

I'm a newbie, so please don't shoot me if I'm skipping something obvious.

I'm trying to update Apache with the IMAP module through the WHM and I keep getting an error.

I'm using:

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.1-C112
RedHat 9 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

and when I try an "Update Apache", I get this:

Untarring imap....Using RPM Backend: RPM version 4.2

ok... I check the config.log and I get this:

configure:45309: checking whether IMAP works

char mail_newbody();
int main() {

return 0;
}

So... __db185_open is a reference to libdb which is probably missing or outdated?

How can I fix this?

Hi there,

after spending hours on trying to compile/update php with imap-module on an VPS Redhat Enterprise (64bit?) and reading the errormessage

..guess what..... it's working now!

It worked!! Thanks!!

After using this fix, IMAP logins no longer work. For example, when trying to login to Squirrel Mail:

Bad request: The IMAP server is reporting that plain text logins are disabled. Using CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 authentication instead may work. Also, the use of TLS may allow SquirrelMail to login. Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

How do I fix this?

Hmm...

on my server the IMAP-Login is working. I tested several accounts.
No problems.

All webmail on my server is broken after using this "fix". Please help me "unfix" it. I went back to the previous Apache/PHP build and I am still receiving the error.

visiox · Mar 31, 2006

Hi there,

if you followed my "fix", you should have 2 files on your system called "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/xxximapd" and "/usr/lib/xxxc-client.a".

Copy them over the compiled ones ->
cp /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/xxximapd /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/imapd
cp /usr/lib/xxxc-client.a /usr/lib/c-client.a

Restart IMAP

Go ahead with the standard php installation

That should be your "downgrade"

xWho · Mar 31, 2006

THANK YOU!

That has fixed my IMAP problems. I have new errors popping up that I didn't have.

No mail will go through at all now, its all collecting in the queue, and when attempting to deliver any of them, here's the error:

== [email protected] R=virtual_user T=virtual_userdelivery defer (13): Permission denied: failed to create directories for /home/paulley/mail/webaddress.com/emailaddress: Permission denied

All the webmail interfaces give cannot create errors, too. Is this related or a separate issue?

Hi there,

looks like a problem with exim.

Try following

1) Check in WHM -> Server Configuration -> Tweak Settings -> The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited):
2) Check for double account name, maybe there is one with a capital letter

Disable versioning for IMAP 64bit CentOS

An easier fix is to disable Versioning support in php via easapache's PHP configuration.
