*From Roundcube 1.7 you must configure your web server to use the public_html folder as the document root.*
ummm, what the actual fsck? public_htrml ???????? who the hell uses public_html on webmail servers, or any hosting server for that matter, I've not seen that directory used since the 90s, please tell us that is a placeholder, or some left over from version 0.01a

It's about Roundcube's public_html directory, not web server's public html directory.
In other words, now the entry point(s) (index.php file) is not in Rouncube's root, but /public_html. And there are other files than index.php.

Do you mean that we would need to setup a forward from the website root?
mail.example.com/ -> mail.example.com/public_html/index.php
While not a technical difficulty, it does make for an ugly URL. Does it have to be named "public_html"?
No. You just change one line in your web server configuration to use the new path as the root. Everything else will work the same as it does now. From the user perspective there is no change.

Exactly. And this is not new. This was a recommended way for a long time, now it's just the only way.

So, logic check...
If DocumentRoot is currently /a/b/c, it should become something like /a/b/public_html, and any paths that refer to /a/b/c be adjusted similarly?

Thanks for that, perhaps the wiki could be made a slightly clearer :)
Secondly, hijacking my own thread, how is roundcube with php 8.4, implosions or everything perfect with 1.6.11?

I use Virtualmin and it creates users/VPS with home directories in /home.
For example:
/home/sunvalleysolar/ ->
/home/sunvalleysolar/etc
/home/sunvalleysolar/tmp
/home/sunvalleysolar/logs
/home/sunvalleysolar/homes
/home/sunvalleysolar/domains
/home/sunvalleysolar/public_html
And so on.
Currently they provide a script installer that allows you to install RC in ether the site’s public_html folder or in a subpath. I’m guessing that part will have to change.
Thank you,
