Hi ,

I'm getting following error in roundcube mail



CONFIGURATION ERROR

defaults.inc.php was not found.
Please read the INSTALL instructions!



Need your help to resolve this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

CloudSelvam.

have you tried using --force
when re-installing roundcube?
That should replace the missing files.
(it was there - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5259)

chmod file /etc/roundcubemail/db.inc.php (777 if you want :) )

I have this same problem with a fresh installation of VestaCP.

How can I do that --force reinstallation?
EDIT: If you meant reinstall the VestaCP installation script, I already tried it and the problem persisted.

EDIT2: I tried again a fresh installation in a fresh server and still the same problem.

EDIT 3: this last time there was a defaults.inc.php and I changed permissions as suggested in viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7507&start=10 Previous times that file doesn't existed. So... Solved.

I followed instruction that I found in the forum to change the file permissions for /etc/roundcubemail/defaults.inc.php to 755 and it has worked.
But, I don't understand - I have another identical VPS in which the permission is at 640 and it works. Maybe there is something else going on and it would would be possible to keep the mailbox 'locked down' a little more securely ?

Yep, don't understand, why this happen. May be some updates has been installed or some move... I have about ten all sort active VestaCP and no one have this error. weird situation.

If you don't use emal services, why not?

Thanks Skurudo
but I do use the mail service. I have limited knowledge but as far as I understand this leaves the mail service more vulnerable to exploit.
The mail is working, but I'll keep watching this space in case there is any development.

Mine was working then I made some changes on main.inc.php and only after this operation I got "defaults.inc.php was not found.".
I use centos 6, file modified with nano and ctrl+o and ctr+x, nothing else.
I made this operation many times on several vps but this is the first time I got this error.

I had the same problem but got away with chmod'ing
/etc/roundcubemail/defaults.inc.php
to just 644, which avoids enabling execute flags.

Yep, this true.
644 more secure.
