Progress!

So looks like SELinux was the culprit after all. After I turned it off, my config files were found and read by the Roundcube installer.

However, now it is telling me that the database DSN (write) failed:

"(MDB2 Error: connect failed)

Make sure that the configured database exists and that the user has write privileges DSN: mysql://roundcube:[password]@localhost/roundcubedb"

where [password] is the password I set up for the roundcube MySQL user.

Sorry to keep bugging you all, but:

(1) How do I troubleshoot this database issue?

(2) Is it OK to have SELinux completely off?

Thanks!!

In fact I would welcome someone to connect to the server and check things out for me. Unfortunately, it is actually running in a VirtualBox virtual machine with NAT, so I don't know how a remote connection to it would work..... But thank you so much Bem Schmidt for the offer!

If you ssh to me with port forwarding, I could connect back to you through the ssh tunnel. I just have to make my machine temporarily accessible and give you a user account to log in with. Let me know if you want to try it.

Cheers,

Ben.
