[horde] setup

Sat Apr 25 03:46:04 UTC 2009

When I log in, the Horde log file say I logged in correctly

 Login success for admin at jnctest.com [24.255.161.221] to {localhost:143 [imap/notls]} [pid 18069 on line 304 of "/home/jnctest/jmail/imp/lib/Session.php"]

but it goes right back the login page with no error message or any other kind of message.

I am guessing there is somethng wrong with my configuration.  hmmm....

Im not really sure what [pid 18069 on line 304 of "/home/jnctest/jmail/imp/lib/Session.php"] means though.

Knowing how to configure DNS (if you're hosted this is probably done for you), and how to set up your mail servers (you actually have two, one for inbound one for relaying and outbound), checking permissions etc. I'm kinda getting the impression you're new to this - if I'm wrong I apologize.

If you're not hosted then you get to roll up your sleeves and start climbing a sometimes steep learning curve, depending on your prior experience.

This is just our test site. I do not have to setup anything else for this to work. My servers are through godaddy. Suppose I get everything working properly my understanding is the admin portal for Horde will allow me to add email users and has an option to allow users who do not have an account to add themselves. I did not know that IMAP/POP allowed users to be added or does the admin work another way?

Which server package are you using for a) sending mail (usually sendmail,qmail,or postfix) and b) retrieving mail (could also be the aforementioned, but if you're running dovecot, courier, or cyrus-imap, you're running IMAP). I would hazard a guess that you are not running IMAP, and I believe horde requires IMAP.

Both email addresses I put in for the user name and try to login. I do not get any error and no login failed error. The page doesnt change at all. I am running a linux server and add my email address using simple control panel. The emails are sent using sendmail. I have the horde installed on the server that the email address are. I do not believe I am using IMAP though. Am not really sure what that is other than a way to retrieve email from a server offsite.
