[sork] Vacation - unable to connect to server

[Peter K. Botcherby]

Many thanks Eric and my apologies for misquoting.  I have got a bit further
trying to debug this by turning on the logs as you suggested.  What it
showed was that nothing was getting to the ftp server ie. no messages were
being logged.  If I ran ftp directly from a PC then messages were logged to
syslog correctly.   I have delved a little to see what is going on and found
that the error message was coming from

/usr/apache/htdocs/horde/vacation/lib/Driver/forwards.php (line 86 see *
below )

        // Try to login with the username/password, no realm.
        $status = $_vfs->checkCredentials();
        if (is_a($status, 'PEAR_Error')) {
            $this->err_str = $status->getMessage();
            $this->err_str .= '  ' .  _("Check your username and
password.");    **********
            return false;
        }

This led me to look at /usr/apache/htdocs/horde/vacation/main.php (line 76
see *  below )

             if ($driver->setVacation($user, $realm, $password,
                                           $vacationmsg, $alias)) {
                      $notification->push(_("Vacation notice successfully
enabled."), 'horde.success');
                  } else {
                      $notification->push(_("Failure in modifying vacation
notice: ")     *********
                                         . $driver->err_str, 'horde.error');
                  }

These two messages were put together to give the error message I was
getting.

I was able to print out my $user, $passwd and $realm - user /passwd were
correct and $realm came back with 'default'  I used to know where to set the
default realm in Horde 2 but not sure where this should be set with the CVS

Not sure where to look from here but will keep digging - any pointers most
welcome.

Thanks again
Peter
