[horde] : Re: horde login error

Thu Jan 15 07:28:06 UTC 2009

Dear friend,
Iam using dovecot version 1.0.7- imap .
Mail accounts are stored in mysql database.I can run the imap server by using telnet localhost 143
The problem is-if i try with a user in the mysql database, it shows No authentication error.But when is telnet by using a system user, it shows ok
.So i though that it was using the LDAP(am i right).
So i changed the dovecot.conf file and included the dovecot-sql.txt (using sql queries from table user).But afterwards i cant login the Horde.(Failed login in line 164of "/var/www/html/horde/login.php")
CAn you pls explain the hordes flow
for example-when you login
first checking goes to dovecot-then postfix then goes to mysql  etc
(i dont know the exact procedure)
I mean the step by step process so that I can debug easily.
i followed the how to from hordes site

http://wiki.horde.org/CentOS5InstallationNotes?referrer=HowTo#

but it doesnt say about dovecot,postfix configuration in detail.

Also i would like to know more abt horde Administrator gui configuration.

  Before proceeding with Horde configuration can you provide the some
basic information:

1. Which IMAP server are you using - dovecot, courier-imap, uw-imap?
2. How are the mail accounts managed - is it stored in MySQL, LDAP or
any other?
3. Are you able to setup and run your IMAP/POP/SMTP server ? If so
provide details.

Please provide as much details as you can. We may be able to help you.

regards
Manilal

> I have told erlier that iam a nebie in horde.I want to configure a mail server .So i checked some of them in net.When i heard about horde, i was interested in horde.Though i installed using the wiki-how to install in centos-i could not proceed further.Everytime if i clear one problem, then comes another.The basic problem is that i could not understand how the authentication in horde works.I installed horde as it was said in the Howto.It says to insert data in the user tables .After the installation i couldnt loginto the horde gui.After so much time of googling i could login t horde just after creating the user in the os.When i tried t check the imap server ,it only accepts the system users.Thats my prolbem.
