to anyone that cannot get emails on roundcube
Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:53 pm
After i changed php to php7 following a tutorial on this forum, every time, on every server, roundcube starts having problems. it might be a lot of things i'm not going to go deep on this but i always get a problem, i cannot GET emails into the server but i can send.
Debugging the logs was not helping, adding inbox = yes on the config was not helping cuz it was already there, adding namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
} was also not fixing the problem and making it go into debug was also not giving me a straight answer, i saw somewhere people saying that it might be a +r permission so i decided to go crazy and in one of the less important servers i did:
chmod -R 777 /home/admin/mail/
i started getting all the emails, folder problems are gone.
this is not a final fix or look safe but looks like if we touch php some permissions are not enough for roundcube to resume its operations normally.
i'm not posting this here as a defenitive fix and please see if someone else replies before giving chmod -R 777 on all mailboxes because it might be a big security risk but for me it fixed the problem.
