[WebDork]

Anyone able to give me any help on solving the following please ?

Logging into webmail now gives:

A fatal error has occurred
Auth_imp: Required IMAP extension not found.
Details have been logged for the administrator.

[root@angusserver1 ~]# tail -f /var/log/psa-horde/psa-horde.log

Line 44 is basically this function:

function Auth_imp($params = array())
{
if (!Util::extensionExists('imap')) {
Horde::fatal(PEAR::raiseError(_("Auth_imp: Required IMAP extension not found.")), __FILE__, __LINE__);
}
}

if we talk about redhats then open webmail.domain.com/horde/test.php?mode=phpinfo

check for options
- Configuration File (php.ini) Path (should be /etc/php.ini)
- Scan this dir for additional .ini files (should be /etc/php.d)
- additional .ini files parsed (should be many various .ini files in /etc/php.d/)

If you see that some option value is incorrect or not all .ini files are listed, then simply make a copy of files , remove originals and move copies back, for example:

cp -Rp /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini.new
cp -Rp /etc/php.d /etc/php.d.new
rm -rf /etc/php.ini /etc/php.d
mv /etc/php.d.new /etc/php.d
mv /etc/php.ini.new /etc/php.ini

then restart apache.. it will help.

Plesk 8.6 Auth_imp: Required IMAP extension not found

If you get error message especially once you login to webmail, or from the log file below, there is a way to fix it.

[root@vps109 init.d]# tail -n 5 /var/log/psa-horde/psa-horde.log
Aug 06 13:00:51 HORDE [emergency] [imp] Auth_imp: Required IMAP extension not found. [on line 44 of "/usr/share/psa-horde/imp/lib/Auth/imp.php"]

Login to Plesk control panel. Go to Plesk updater. Update related or all available Plesk components. It fix the issue.

Its in php.ini

Open php.ini and make sure the imap extension module is loaded: -

extension=php_imap.dll

If the line is preceded by a semi-colen ( then remove the semi-colen.

You may also need to set you extension_dir in php.ini, the one Im looking at says: -

extension_dir = "c:/php/ext"

You may need to restart your server after changes to php.ini .

Rgds,
