Hi,
I am trying to setup a Webmail system using IMP 3.1 / Horde 2.1 / Turba
1.1 on my machine (Windows XP running Apache 2.0.39 with PHP 4.2.1).
It took me a while to put the pieces together, and the process was not
entirely uneventful:
* Apache 2.0.39 refused to start when I included the requisite lines for
PHP support in the httpd.conf file. It turned out that I had to download
a different version of the php4apache2.dll, posted on the Web by
somebody who faced the same problem.
* I might add that I have not added the line that says: AddModule
mod_php4.c, because the PHP functionality worked without it but Apache
refused to start when I added it.
* Horde requires that the path to the log file be set appropriately in
the horde.php configuration file, else it gives an error. The value I
set was "c:\tmp\horde\logs\horde.log".
* When I tried to send mail, it did not get sent, and all I got was an
error message. For sending mail, apparently the Socket.php file is
required to be in the c:\php\pear\Net directory, and it does not come
with the PHP 4.2.1 distribution. so I downloaded Socket.php from the Web
and put it into that directory.
After having done all this, I could manage to get the system up and
running. However, when I tried to compose and send a mail, the system
crashed. The mail got sent, but at the same time, Windows gave me an
error message saying Apache had performed an illegal operation and had
shut down. I checked the Event log and found that a dll file named
ntdll.dll was mentioned in the error message.
I haven't yet been able to figure out whether:
* The problem is in the PHP-Apache-WinXP part
* The problem is in the Horde-IMP part
If anyone has faced this or a similar problem before, and has a
solution, I'd be much obliged if you could help me out. Am not sure if
the information I have provided is sufficient for a diagnosis - if any
more information is required, I shall be happy to provide it.
Thanks,
Ramsu
