General Setup Information for Horde

[Michael Seidner]

Here are some items which may come up during the installation of Horde and
IMP:
 
1) You receive an error while running test.php3: "Cannot connect to MySQL
server through /var/lib/mysql/mysql.lock......"
 
There is an issue here with permissions. Go to the /var/lib directory and
chmod 755 on the msql directory. 
Also go into the /var/lib/mysql directory and chmod 707 on mysql.lock. This
should take care of the database connection problem.
 
Here is a nice little php3 script you can write to test with....
 
<?php
$link=mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "userpassword") or die
("Could not Connect");
print ("Connected sucessfully");
mysql_close ($link);
?>
 
Of course you must substitue username and userpassword for your database.
Also you can substitue "Could not Connect" with $php_errormsg to give you
and error condition that might help troubleshoot
even further.
 
2) IMP - Don't forget to have your imap daemon ruuning otherwise you will
get authentication errors when trying to log into IMP!!
 
Good Luck!!
