Hey Guys, I've been assigned a job of integrating the roundcube mail server with the ruby on rails framework. I personally believe that it is a immensely rich interface for the web clients. The problem I'm facing that, though I have successfully edited the files main.Php and the db.php and renamed em as well and placed the roundcube folder under the document root of my web Server which is Apache, still I get an error 500 as a configuration error. The question I want to ask is that what may have gone wrong. Just to elaborate the things a bit more is that I have three versions of MySql installed,one coming with the phpdev tool, one with ruby on rails framework and finally the one that is standalone. I have the php engine running through the php dev tool itself which I think runs automatically with the php dev tool. I have little or ya can assume no knowledge of PHP and presently stuck please help me out of this. Another thing I want to ask is that : Is the apache web server comes integrated with the IMAP server capability since the roundcube is a IMAP client I assume. Any kind of help would be accepted with gratitude. Humbly, Vivek.

Error code 500 (aka "Internal Server Error) hints at something else being wrong with your server's configuration. Have a look at your Apache's error log. It should contain more information to debug your problem.

Some servers (like mine) don't support .htaccess files. Delete them and see if it helps.
pronto

But be sure you don't make the site go live unless you're sure the outside world does not have access to your configuration (namely database passwords).

How would that happen? The passwords are stored in a php file, so
I don't believe accessible from outside the machine. And local file access isn't affected by .htaccess.

It only has to happen once if a configuration slips and your apache doesn't interpret a php file and the whole world sees you with your underpants around your ankles. It's not worth the risk, security by obscurity is no security at all.

Ok, but why put code in the .htaccess, all that has to happen is
apache set to ignore .htaccess files, and ...

I believe that security through obscurity can actually be one
valid level of security (after all, in the extreme case, that's all a password ever really is). (Linus Torvalds)

a 500 error code can be anything, but:
the config files need to be in the /config/ directory, not in the rootfolder of roundcube. That's the same directory where the template (*.dist) files are.

all that matters is which one is running!
I have the php engine running through the php dev tool itselfwhich I think runs automatically with the php dev tool. I have little or ya can assume no knowledge of PHP and presently stuck please help me out of this.

php functionality is provided by php, not apache.
good luck learning how to work with LAMP!
