Horde webmail installation

I have Plesk 9.2 running at Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga).

Complete!

I can`t switch on webmail inside Plesk panel. When I`m going to Settings - Select WebMail
Webmail section shows
Available Webmail clients None

But Home - Server components shows installed:
psa-horde 3.1.7-cos5.build86080722.00

Maybe I need to install some more components to enable Horde webmail? ...ro to do some additional setup?

Same Issue

We're having the same issue. Somehow I missed your post when I did a search before posting a similar question here. I've done quite a bit of digging and can't seem to find any answers

I have found solution for this problem.
I have added virtual host webmail.*
You can try this solution too. Try to create configuration file zz050a_horde_php_workaround.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ (this directory has configuration files wich includes by Apache).

Our problem / solution

TaraS, we had a different problem, I think. It wasn't that virtual hosting wasn't setup properly, it was that either our Plesk 8.1 to 9.2.1 upgrade or our PHP 4.x to PHP 5.x upgrade broke where Horde was looking for it's DB password. A description of our problem and the solution we found can be found here in case it's useful to anyone out there:
