Horde session issue?

Gunjan — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:33:39 +0000

There is a very common issue where Horde prevents access to webmail by repeatedly redirecting viewers to Language Selection screen. The following commands, executed as root, will solve these issues:

root@server[~]#/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules
root@server[~]#/scripts/fullhordereset
root@server[~]#myisamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/horde/horde_sessionhandler.MYI

If still you have problem then check the ownership for session directory present in /var/cpanel/userhomes/cpanelhorde directory.

root@server[~]#ll /var/cpanel/userhomes/cpanelhorde

drwx–x–x 4 cpanelhorde cpanelhorde 4096 Jun 5 2009 ./
drwx–x–x 7 root root 4096 Dec 17 01:48 ../
drwxr-x— 2 cpanelhorde cpanelhorde 4096 Jun 5 2009 mail/
drwx—— 2 cpanelhorde cpanelhorde 4096 Jan 27 14:01 sessions/
Session directory should be cpanelhorde.cpanelhorde ownership recursively

How to disable local-mail delivery for one domain name?

Gunjan — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:04:11 +0000

First go to file

Send mail by using phpmail function.

Gunjan — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 04:28:58 +0000

You can create a simple php mail form by using following code..

————————–

$to = ‘supp0rt@xyz.com’;
$subject = ‘The test for mail function’;
$message = ‘Hello’;
$headers = ‘From: test@abc123.com’ . “\r\n” .
‘Reply-To: test@testforever123.com’ . “\r\n” .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

————————–

If you are not able to receive the E-mail then you need to check whether your server is allowing to send an E-mail by using phpmail() or not?’ if you are having root login then check the servers main php.ini file.

root@Gunjan []# php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

root@Gunjan []# cat /usr/local/lib/php.ini | grep disable_function
disable_functions=”system,passthru,popen,proc_close,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_open,proc_terminate,shell_exec,highlight_file,phpmail”

and remove the phpmail() from server mail php.ini file and restart the Apache web server.

If you are not having root login details then contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable the phpmail() for your hosting account.

You can also send me an E-mail at nsk.gunjan@gmail.com if you have any queries…
