Have you verified the database connection config in <rc-root>/config/db.inc.php?

As a probably unrelated question, why are you using such an outdated version for a new install? The current is 0.5.3. The functionality of the later versions is much more likely to be able to replace a local client like Thunderbird than 3.x.

People,
People, I have installed: roundcubemail-0.3.1-2.fc13.noarch and I have followed all the suggestions from the INSTALL doc and from a number of web pages but I still get the message: DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED! Unable to connect to the database! Please contact your server-administrator. I can tell from the lack of stuff in the PG logs that no connection is even attempted. The only thing I haven't tried is rebooting the server but that shouldn't be necessary? I am looking to replace Squirrelmail for remote mail access and perhaps Thunderbird for local access - as long as I don't don't lose too much functionality . . Suggestions appreciated!
I should have added that the phpinfo stuff looks OK too:

  PostgreSQL(libpq) Version	8.4.7
  Module version	1.0.2

Thanks,

Phil.
