Perfect Server Debian 9 with ISPConfig - Roundcube issue

I followed Perfect Server Debian 9 setup, tried to upgrade Roundcube to latest v1.39 now I see these issues in my log Roundcube does not load javascript, css, etc:

Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/lib/roundcube/program
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/jqueryui
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/lib/roundcube/skins/larry

I modified following:
Options -Indexes
to
Options +FollowSymLinks
in
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.conf
<Directory />
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory>

still same issue, please help!

 

Thanks @jesse Norrell.
I restored Options -Indexes
how can i install roundcube on my own not one from debian repo?

 

Thanks @till.
1) What domain name (under Clients > Domains) is recommended for new website (Sites) to be used for Roundcube application?
2) I tried to add domain name ("ROUNDCUBE) but i get error "This domain-name is not allowed"
3) If I setup roundcube in its own website, would it still be available under all domains (under domain.com/webmail), I have this line "Alias /webmail /var/lib/roundcube" in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/roundcube.conf ?

 

@till Thanks again for clarification!
Regarding answer #3, how can I install the latest Roundcube and still have it available for each client's website? When I installed Perfect Server Debian 9 with ISPConfig - Roundcube 1.23 was working, after I tried to upgrade to Roundcube 1.39, it is not working anymore. How can I start over to at least go back to original setup of Roundcube per your tutorial?

 

Is there a compelling reason to install Roundcube 1.39?
If you use the Roundcube that comes with Debian Stretch, it works and the ISPConfig Roundcube plugins work with it also.
If you really must have a later version of Roundcube, like @Jesse Norell already told, you have to do the modifications to original Roundcube that Debian project has done. Then you might get it working on Debian, but likely not. You can see what changes debian did by comparing the source code files provided by debian:

Code:

    [roundcube_1.2.3+dfsg.1-4+deb9u3.dsc]
    [roundcube_1.2.3+dfsg.1.orig.tar.gz]
    [roundcube_1.2.3+dfsg.1-4+deb9u3.debian.tar.xz]

There is also version 1.3.8 in Debian Testing, it might be easier to use that as base for your own effort, but since it is not backported to Debian Stretch I assume it is not easy to get it working on Stretch.
By the way, you can see from changelog that Debian project has backported security fixes to the 1.2.3 version, so if you thought you need those they are already in the Debian Stretch version of Roundcube.

 

Thanks @Taleman. How can i uninstall and reinstall roundcube v1.23 that comes with debian 9

 

I was able to remove failed roundcube installation using the following steps:

First, you need to find the extact package name from the list of installed packages using the command:
dpkg --get-selections | grep -i roundcube
Then, you can remove it using the commnand:
apt-get remove <package name>
Where <package name> is the name you got from the first command.

Install roundcube debian package again per instruction from The Perfect Server - Debian 9 (Stretch) with Apache.

 

apt-get remove does remove if you installed with apt-get. How did you install the other Roundcube version?

 

After I reinstalled, I still see following errors in logs.

Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/lib/roundcube/program
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/jqueryui
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/lib/roundcube/skins/larry

When I login I don't see any emails, when I click on anything under Settings > Section nothing happens (right side pane is blank)

 

I downloaded complete tar.gz from roundcube.net and ran install to target folder /var/lib/roundcube - had issues, opened up this thread.

 

Update:
I followed tutorial: RoundCube webmail installation on Debian 8 (Jessie) Update and successfully installed Roundcube 1.3.9 on Debian 9. Thanks all for help!

I just got a little issue with ispconfig3_roundcube plugin
When I'm in ROUNDCUBE > Settings > Account > General, I get

Soap Error: The login is not allowed from my ip

nano /opt/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php
<?php
$rcmail_config['identity_limit'] = false;
$rcmail_config['remote_soap_user'] = 'roundcube';
$rcmail_config['remote_soap_pass'] = 'my password';
$rcmail_config['soap_url'] = 'https://server.mydomain.com:8080/remote/';
$config['soap_validate_cert'] = false;
?>

Check also if the Plugin author promises the plugins work with Roundcube 1.3.9 version.

 

Fixed
System > Remote User > roundcube (Remote Access checkbox wasn't ticked) after I did that, it works.

nano /opt/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php
<?php
$config['identity_limit'] = false;
$config['remote_soap_user'] = 'roundcubemail';
$config['remote_soap_pass'] = 'my password';
$config['soap_url'] = 'https://mydomain.com:8080/remote/';
$config['soap_validate_cert'] = true;
?>
