At the time of this writing (2000-09-27) you must use the same
|
||
|
|
username and password in phpGroupWare that you use to log into
|
||
|
|
your mail server. If you change your password and it still isn't working,
|
||
|
|
try logging out of phpGroupWare (the rightmost icon in the navigation bar)
|
||
|
|
and then log back in.

This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of IMAP, and you have
|
||
|
|
more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.

By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes over 30 seconds
|
||
|
|
to complete. phpGroupWare must do a lot of work the first time your POP3 mailbox
|
||
|
|
is opened, and every time you get new mail, which may take more than the 30
|
||
|
|
second timeout.

You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program, or
|
||
|
|
add the line
|
||
|
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
|
set_time_limit(0);
|
||
|
|
</programlisting>
|
||
|
|
to the top of the inc/phpgwapi/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just before
|
||
|
|
the line <classname>class msg extends msg_common</classname>
|
||
|
|

If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a large POP3
|
||
|
|
mailbox - the author tested against a mailbox with 2500 messages in it,
|
||
|
|
but it took 15 minutes to load the page. We highly suggest you use IMAP
|
||
|
|
if you expect to have more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.

<title>When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page</title>

<para>You are using Apache, this often means you need to add
|
||
|
|
<classname>.php</classname> to the <classname>DirectoryIndex</classname> line in your httpd.conf file.
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
|
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi
|
||
|
|

<title>I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare URL</title>
|
||
|
|
<para>
|
||
|
|
This is often because you have php3 installed,
|
||
|
|
which does not map <classname>.php</classname> to the PHP engine.
|
||
|
|
For PHP3:
|
||
|
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
|
||
|
|
</programlisting>
|
||
|
|
For PHP4:
|
||
|
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php
|
||
|
|
</programlisting>
