Unable to Login: Install Horde 5 Webmail For ISPConfig On Debian Wheezy Through PEAR

I followed HowTo
Install Horde 5 Webmail For ISPConfig On Debian Wheezy Through PEAR
I'm having issues with logging into HORDE, the following errors are in the log

Code:

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot?

 

does /var/www/web2/phptmp exist?

 

ISPConfig 3 has following folder structure /var/www/clients/client1/web2
I don't think it's a good idea to have phptmp folder for each website manually which I cannot even create

Code:

root@sun:/var/www/clients/client1/web2# mkdir phptmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `phptmp': Permission denied
root@sun:/var/www/clients/client1/web2# mkdir: cannot create directory `phptmp': Permission denied

 

Well, in the howto it says:

Code:

mkdir /var/www/horde/phptmp/
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/horde

So I wonder why you end up with your path...

 

I created folder and chown it. I'm not sure why I'm getting
PHP ERROR: session_start()
It looks like something is pointing to incorrect folder (/var/www/web2/phptmp)
Anyone has any suggestions how to fix this?

 

pastebin your horde.conf file

 

Thanks for looking at this. Here's my /etc/apache2/conf.d/horde.conf

Code:

Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /var/www/horde/rpc.php
Alias /horde /var/www/horde
<Directory /var/www/horde>
           Options +FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           order allow,deny
           allow from all
           AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
           php_value include_path ".:/usr/share/php"
           php_value open_basedir "none"
           php_value upload_tmp_dir "/var/www/horde/phptmp/"
</Directory>

 

hmmm, weird...

 

Do you think above error/issue is related to Horde only or PHP or ISPConfig?

 

I have no idea what you did. Using a fresh install with ispc according to the perfect howto - it all works.

 

sjau thanks for your help!

The reason I wanted to try Horde some of my customers have issues using roundcube, when replying to emails just hangs and does not do anything.

I did follow perfect "howto" years ago debian squeeze then I upgraded to debian wheezy, I can't fresh install because we have too many clients.
I'm trying to fix it, I'm sure it's possible, I just need some direction. I tried to send my issue to HORDE mailing list but got blocked for no reason.

It may be an issue with PHP installation

 

Could someone share/post horde conf.php?
/var/www/horde/config/conf.php

 

From my Jessie install:

Thanks for sharing your conf.php I tried to modify my conf to match yours still get same issue.

May 12 10:05:35 sun HORDE: PHP ERROR: session_start(): open(/var/www/web2/phptmp//sess_igvqg1c005951lbo81gir6nd93, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) [pid 13266 on line 204 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Session.php"]

Here is part of my /usr/share/php/Horde/Session.php starting at line 204

session_start();
$this->_active = true;
$this->_data = &$_SESSION;

/* We have reopened a session. Check to make sure that authentication
* status has not changed in the meantime. */
if (!$this->_readonly &&
!is_null($this->_relogin) &&
(($GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth() !== false) !== $this->_relogin)) {
Horde::log('Previous session attempted to be reopened after authentication status change. All session modifications will be ignored.', 'DEBUG');
$this->_readonly = true;
}
}

Tried to modify my php.ini by adding
session.save_path = "/tmp"
still same problem

Something with sessions is not correct I'm not sure how to fix it, anyone has any ideas?

 

where do you have horde installed to?

 

/var/www/horde

 

don't know.

 

What's your PHP temporary directory?

 

which one?

 

I was able to fix this issue. I had php_admin_value session.save_path "/var/www/web2/phptmp/" in my website options tab under Apache Directives which was overriding the main php.ini

Fixed by modifying
php_admin_value session.save_path "/var/www/web2/phptmp/"
to
php_admin_value session.save_path "/tmp/"

After that, I was able to login to horde.
Thanks for your help with this issue!
