[horde] Fw: About the error "There was an error in theconfigurationform. Perhaps you left out a required field."

Tue Nov 13 06:18:28 UTC 2007

Yes, I'd set the directory "horde" ownered by the user "daemon" with the command "chown -R /var/www/horde", my httpd run as the user "daemon".

[root at horde www]# pwd
/var/www
[root at horde www]# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 44 daemon daemon   4096 Nov 13 03:24 horde

I also chown the file "/tmp/horde.log" to "daemon".

But it doesn't work.
I'm really the first man ask the problem? 

My install log is as following:
1, install the OS "CentOS 5.0"
2, install libtool-1.5.24
3, install BerkeleyDB-4.4.20
4, install postgreSQL-8.2.5
5, install vsftpd
6, install apache-2.2.6
7, install libpng-1.2.20
8, install freetype-2.3.5
9, install fontconfig-2.4.2
10, install jpegsrc.v6b
11, install libmcrypt-2.5.8
12, install c-client (imap-2006K.DEV.SNAP-0710111758)
13, install cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
14, install postfix-2.4.5
15, install dovecot-1.0.7 (set dovecot password & user authentication to pgsql)
16, install php-5.2.4
17, uncompress the tarball horde-webmail-1.0.3 to /var/www
18, cd /var/www/horde
   Run scripts/setup.php
   Run /var/www/horde/scripts/sql/script.initial_horde_user.sql in psql environment with role "postgres"
19, login to horde to setup

Dear Mike:

  Thanks a lot for your kind support!
  Yes, I want to change the authentication mode to SQL, but after I modify 
it and want to save it, as you know click the "Generate Horde Configuration" 
Button, it respond me the error message:" There was an error in the 
configuration form. Perhaps you left out a required field."
That is to say, I can't modify the configuration.

  But there are really no any asterisk (*) textbox empty!
  Could you please tell me the reason why?
  Thanks a lot very much.

If you want to use horde to manage your users you need to select a
backend such as SQL that allows you to add/modify users.  If you wish
to let IMP handle the authentication, then your users will be managed
by your IMAP server.  I'm not sure what your attempting to do with
that IMAP/SQL query you listed...but if you are trying to have your
IMAP server use the horde user table to authenticate against, then you
must use something like the SQL backend in Horde to handle your horde
authentication.

Thanks,
mike
