howto upgrade to roundcubemail 0.3
Last week was released the upgrade of roundcubemail , with new features ht emost interesting is the APIs and a doc reference sufficent or at least quite understandable for the masses .
The upgrade is not so clear so i try to suggest some things for whom will want to upgrade without problems .
At least just read the UPGRADE documentation shipped with the packages , but at the point :
1. Replace index.php and all files in
– ./bin/
– ./SQL/
– ./program/
– ./installer/
– ./skins/default/
– ./plugins/
There’s an omitted thing,you must replace also the index.php in the main root .
Another thing is a strange behaviour of crypt object , that generates a 500 error .
This error is caused by a missconfiguration , not declared in the UPGRADE file at line 160 :
// this key is used to encrypt the users imap password which is stored
// in the session record (and the client cookie if remember password is enabled).
// please provide a string of exactly 24 chars.
$rcmail_config['des_key'] = ‘rcmail-!24ByteDESkey*Str’;
It’s not compatible with the old version so , if you upgrade , you must put hands on to make this crypto key compatible , simply making a string long 24 bytes .
This will fix the 500 problem .
If you have other problems , and you cannot find any advice around just enable the debug informations in line 18 :
// system error reporting: 1 = log; 2 = report (not implemented yet), 4 = show, 8 = trace
$rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 1;
just raising the debug_level , as specified or at least change the php display_errors to On , you can do that simply via htaccess .
php_flag display_errors Off
that’s all , i hope this will be useful to upgrade your roundcube mail .
