Adding users is disabled.
Your authentication backend does not support adding users. If you wish to use Horde to administer user accounts, you must use a different authentication backend.

Listing users is disabled.
Your authentication backend does not support listing users, or the feature has been disabled for some other reason.

A note to others under debian.

uw-imapd doesn’t seem to work well with horde3/imp4. (or so the pkg. main. say)

A quick change over to dovecot fixed the problem with authentication for mail and everything works perfect now!

already solved;

the path in /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php must be changed to value ‘/horde3′ (was ‘/horde’)

cheers,

martin

Hey guys,

This is for the people having the error:

“Failed to import Horde configuration: Horde3 configuration disabled by default because the administration/install wizard gives the whole world too much access to the system. Read /usr/share/doc/horde3/README.Debian.gz on how to allow access.”

You need to not only remove exit(0); but comment out the text above that. So just put a // before the echo statement at the top of the config.php

Example:

// echo “blahblahblah read the README.debian.gz that doesn’t tell you jack”

hehe…man, debian developers are great…but their documentation lacking in content to say the least. I’m all for the little guys trying to port themselves away from the Microsoft giant (booo to ms! unless ur finding new ways to screw with their kernel haha)

Hello Maski,

Thanx a lot, I just edited /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php and the horde works perfectly!!

Cheers!

yeah, but maybe you should tweak chmod, to make sure the directory is NOT readable and writable by “others”.

Are you using pure permissions or ACL permissions ?

By: JLI

JLI — Thu, 24 May 2007 02:36:54 +0000

I’ve already executed “chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/horde” so the permission set on that way.

Can anyone know how to deal with this error? I’ve already followed whole instructions above but it returns error message below.

Please help….

Hi Maski,

After installing and generating the horde3 conf i cannot log into the horde system, same as you reported.
You claimed to have solved the problem but didn’t mention how you did so.
Could you please share your solution?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
It appeared to be a bit tricky the horde, but nice… I must have fkd up while configuring so the program lost track of some essentials. I’d like to get started from the beginning again. Apt-get remove doesn’t do the trick. The evil .config lives on into the next apt-get install. Is there a spell to use that purges the horde for a fresh start?

‘To configure horde3 use the web configuration wizard. It is disabled
by default for security reasons. To enable it remove the exit (0) directive
in /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php file. To let the configuration wizard
write to the configuration files you have to change the owner

Hi justin.. This HOWTO was working for Ubuntu Hoary, so something must have changed in the meanwhile.. I suspect specific changes on the debian packages to completly disable the wizzard… What does README.Debian.gz actually say on that subject ?

Hello all,

I’ve followed everthing to a “T”, and I get:
“Failed to import Horde configuration: Horde3 configuration disabled by default because the administration/install wizard gives the whole world too much access to the system. Read /usr/share/doc/horde3/README.Debian.gz on how to allow access.” Can someone help? Thanks

Hi Maski,

I’m glad you actually got it to work

If you want to add users into horde, you can use the SQL authentication backend…. It’s available in the setup list..

Good luck,
Sami

By: Maski

Maski — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 20:38:22 +0000

Finally got it working!!! i think its a bug on the setup

Thanks! by the way, what authentication backend should i use if i want to add users into horde??

By: Maski

Maski — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 16:44:02 +0000

Skoobi:

Ok let me see, in the setup area, on the dabase tab you can select MySQL or MySQLi,.. i selected MySQL,.. but still the same, im gettin desperate!!
.

Do you by any chance have a conf.php I can have a look at? cause im really lost here… when i try to log in localhost/horde3, it keeps showing me the logging page again, its like a loop or something,.. the imap seem to be working fine,

Thanks

By: skoobi

skoobi — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 15:54:33 +0000

Yes, you can use MySQL 5 as the backend. However, for some reason, the application seems to screw up if MySQL 4+ is selected. So, you can try selecting “MySQL” as the backend …

By: Maski

Maski — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 14:26:10 +0000

Skoobi:

Yes the /notls option is the one i have selected

But about MySQL are you saying I can only have MySQL 4 but i cant use MySQL 5 as the backend?

thanks

By: skoobi

skoobi — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 08:21:03 +0000

Maski : are you sure that you
- Used the /notls option for the IMAP server
- do NOT use MySQL 4+ support, but plain MySQL ?

Is there anything in your horde logs ? Can you activate them ?

By: Maski

Maski — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 03:27:12 +0000

Coko: have you actually “Read /usr/share/doc/horde3/README.Debian.gz on how to allow access.”

Sami: I installed and configured horde3 but after generating the conf i cannot log into the horde system. I check the logs for the imap conection;

Nov 20 21:28:42 mail imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Nov 20 21:28:42 mail imapd: LOGIN, user=Maski, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP
Nov 20 21:28:42 mail imapd: LOGOUT, user=Maski, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=38, sent=250, time=0

So its ok.. but i cant get into horde at http://localhost/horde3

Any ideas.. thanks

On my Ubuntu Edgy, after installing apache2, Horde3 and IMP4, Im’not able to start horde after configuring apache2.conf

Here is the error I get:

Thanks heaps Sami, I struggled with the debian setup for a couple of days before I read this. The imap/notls fixed my woes, cheers!

One more thing to include, removing the exit(0) from /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php although this is already mentioned in the README.Debian.

You have to change the debug_level in Horde Setup from E_ALL to E_ERROR.
