can't connect to IMAP problem

[byru]

Hi,

I did search this forum for the problem I encountered, but I didn't find the solutions ..

I followed this instruction, and installed roundcube and squirelmail for testing purpose. When I access the login page, it's generate error like this : "Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused" ..

I'm certain that I followed the installation instruction, what went wrong ?

Can someone point the solutions for this ?

many many thanks ...
