Easy RoundCube (Over SSL) And Webmin With fail2ban For ISPConfig 3 On Debian Squeeze

[tazmon95]

Hello,

I've followed the main tutorial on how to set this up and I've gone through the steps of this post twice now and am getting the same error. It looks like everything should work, but when I get to the Roundcube login page and put in my user information, I get a red box that momentarily popup saying:

Connection to IMAP server failed.

After doing more troubleshooting, I found that if I leave the

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';

in the /var/lib/roundcube/config/main.inc.php file blank like this

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = '';

I get a new box for server under the username and password on my login page. I've tried all the different server names I can think of which are setup in my ISPConfig3 panel, however I keep getting a red box saying:

Login Failed

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
~Taz

Did you set the variable:

auto_create_user = TRUE;

in /var/lib/roundcube/config/main.inc.php ?

Are you sure that you set up correctly the mail server?
The new box that appeared, gives you the ability to choose the mail server to login. If the mail server is local (as the manual assumes) then the localhost is correct.

Please verify that you set the auto_create_user to TRUE

I'm not 100% sure I setup the mail server correct, but everything else seems to be working ok.

$rcmail_config['auto_create_user'] = TRUE;

This line was already in my /var/lib/roundcube/config/main.inc.php file. Do I need to write it differently?

[8omas]

Do you have the port 143 open on localhost?

what is the output of:

netstat -taun | grep LISTEN

[tazmon95]

That's a new file for me and I'm not sure how to read it's output:

I only see a tcp6 line with 143 on it.

[8omas]

Me too. So you probably must open the port 143 for tcp/ip v4. If you manage your firewall through ISPconfig then you must go to:
System -> Firewall and add the port 143 to you open ports.

[8omas]

I think that with ipv6 listening on port 143, the situation is the same. So in simple words, your server is listening.

Keep in mind that
1) You must have a working mail (e.g. the@maildomain.com -- create it through panel)
2) Your login name must be that one (the@maildomain.com --enter it in the user name field of roundcube)
3) The roundcube and courier must be correctly installed.

If you are not sure about roundcube rerun

dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core

For courier follow the perfect server

8omas, Thanks for helping. I was finally able to login. The main part I was missing was the @mydomain.com from the username.

Also, I can't use Localhost as my server. It still tells me it can't connect to the IMAP server, however if I use the domain name it works. Is there any reason this could be an issue and cause problems later on?

[tazmon95]

just figured it out. It was my /etc/hosts file. I needed to have localhosts separaate on the 127.0.0.1 line

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

like that.
