Hi,

the xmail/phpxmail tutorial is great and I'm keen to make it work but have hit a problem.
I get a 404 - not found error when when I try to view the phpxmail config page.
http://192.168.23.111/phpxmail (browser shows http://192.168.23.111/phpxmail/)
http://192.168.23.111/phpinfo.php displays okay so lighttpd / php5 is working.
www server root is /opt/www and contains:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           20 Jan  1 19:14 phpinfo.php
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         4096 Jan  3 00:29 phpxmail

the dir /opt/www/phpxmail/
contains many .php files and .inc files including servers.php after command <touch servers.php> but the file size is zero blocks / bytes.

Should all the .php & .inc also be in the server root directory (/opt/www)?
It seems to me that pointing the browser at http://<ip.address/phpxmail is asking it to look at nothing if my server_root doesn't have any files (other than the phpinfo.php file).... the browser address bar shows http://192.168.23.111/phpxmail/
like its looking at a directory as there is no phpxmail file?!

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks for help so far.

Chris

ahah! Thanks for that M. 

I have added those index file types to the lighttpd.conf and its changed the result,
but still errors....

the browser page http://192.168.23.111/phpxmail/
comes back with two frames and an error in each:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_start() in /opt/www/phpxmail/main.php on line 5

Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_start() in /opt/www/phpxmail/menu.php on line 6

(I had session_start error when I tried using this with tthttpd and switched to lighttpd)

Any thoughts about how we can progress from here.

Thanks for you help so far.

Yay! Success!

I went and read up on the "session_start()" command which this error refers to & it seems apparent that phpxmail needs cookies and session info - my browser isn't getting any cookies from php which made me think there might be a package for it, so I found & installed php5-mod-session_5.0.5-1_mipsel.ipk from:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backports/rc6/php5-mod-session_5.0.5-1_mipsel.ipk
I also remembered seeing session.so in /opt/etc/php.ini & not knowing if it was necessary I removed ";" from ";extension=session.so" .... and bingo! I had a phpxmail login page!

Its just a local network test mail server so far but I have created a user & sent & received emails from a MS Outlook client.

Macsat - thanks for your help at various points - perhaps the tutorial instructions need to have a line to install php5-mod-session package added to it.... also enabling "extension=session.so" in php.ini (if you think it is required.... is it?).

cheers,

Chris
