Anyway, I made that change by creating a .htaccess file in the
installer directory and setting the php parameter at run time.

I think you are digging in the wrong place.

PHP Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /var/www/roundcube/installer/index.php:8) in /var/www/roundcube/installer/index.php on line 29, referer: http://roundcube/installer/welcome.html

From my experience with PHP, that indicates a stray character that
is being sent down to the browser before the headers are sent later
in the code.

Now what?

I've seen problems like that if the line endings of the file don't
match the host platform. There might be some kind of typo in one of those files.

Did you check the download against the MD5 hash to make sure the
download wasn't corrupted in transit ?

It is possible your PHP is set to display warnings, and the code is
triggering a warning that is being echoed to the browser before the
headers are sent.

I'm surprised such a big bug made into the general 0.1.1 release! I'm assuming not many other people are running this code since I'm not finding much information about it.

It is possible the problem is triggered specifically on your setup.

Without anything displayed on the page, I can't do the install.

Not quite true. The installer is a recent addition, RC may work even
if the installer doesn't.

You can hand-edit the ( well commented ) config files -

cp config/db.inc.php.dist config/db.inc.php vi config/db.inc.php cp config/main.inc.php.dist config/main.inc.php vi config/main.inc.php

and manually run the SQL to set up the database -

createdb roundcube psql -d roundcube -f SQL/postgres.initial.sql

or whatever is appropriate for the DBMS you use.

Damn. I did that, tried to run the installer, and got a blank page. So, I decided to re-read the instructions, and no where in the INSTALL did it say to make a copy of those files and THEN run the installer.

That's right, because when you edit the configuration files to your
taste, you don't _need_ to run the installer. You are manually doing
what the installer does. Those commands above assumed since you had
installed other software you knew enough to edit the config files
yourself for your needs. Note I did not say to run the installer in
the instructions I provided.

When I deleted the copied config files, the web basedd installer
started up normally. I think a note about this should be made in the INSTALL file.

Well, whatever voodoo you had going on moved somewhere else. The only thing I can think of is that the permissions on the
directories or files that installer needs to access changed to allow
the installer to function. Your "fix" is specific to your setup, so
it is likely not applicable to others.

Make sure your logs directory is writable by the web server process
owner.
