[imp] problem creating a connection (IMAP/SSL)

[Dwight Lee]

Hi all,

It's me again...quick run down of my situation...
----------------------------------------------------
I'm running the following:
HORDE 1.3.4-cvs (checked out this morning, Feb. 27, 2001)
IMP 2.3.7-cvs (checked out same as above)
Turba 0.0.2-cvs (checked out same as above)

Running on a linux box with PHP Version 4.0.4pl1
Everything in the test.php is green except PostgreSQL support which I don't
think I need because I'm using MySQL.
Sessions seem to work in the test.
PEAR, Mail::RFC822, Log, DB are all green.

IMP will allow me to log into a cyrus imap server (on a different machine)
using IMAP (143) without a problem.  Looks great...

The problem is that I want to connect to the cyrus imap server using a
secure connection IMAP/SSL (993).  The behavior is this.  After entering all
the login information, it starts to make the connection.  The browser gives
feedback like it's in the process of connecting and after a few minutes it
times out.

I don't get any information from php.log and imp.log.  My apache error_log
reports this:
[Tue Feb 27 16:29:18 2001] [info] [client 192.168.1.10] send timed out
[Tue Feb 27 16:29:52 2001] [info] [client 192.168.1.10] Read POST
information timed out

If you guys have any questions, or there was something I forgot to include,
let me know and I'll do my best to get you those answers asap.
--------------------------------------------------

Here's what I've done since:

I've tried rebuilding imap (c-client) with:

make slx SPECIALAUTHENTICATORS=ssl

Then reinstalled php4, apache + mod_ssl.  It still didn't work.  Same
symptoms, the login screen takes forever and eventually times out.

-----------------
On a side note, I noticed a --with-imap-ssl=dir option for the php4
configure... I tried this too, but then IMAP Support was lost in the
test.php page.  hmmm...any ideas?
-----------------

I also tried the IMP 2.3.x demo to see if it was just me.  I got similar
results with the demo as well.  I was able to log into a cyrus imap server
through port 143, but when i tried 993, it timed out.

Is there anyone else out there using the cyrus imapd server (version 2.0.9)
that might be having similar problems?

Thanks again for any help.

I'm not sure how to check an existing build (there are probably symbols you
can
grep for), but docs/SSLBUILD in the imap distribution should tell you what
you
need to know...
