Linux update roundcube stops working and poiting to squirrelmail

Question

I'm trying to solve a problem with Roundcube. On monday I was updating server and installing php 7.1.5 (Debian 8 with ISPConfig) manual: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-php-7-on-debian/. It seems that php and everyting else is working except Roundcube webmail.

Users started complaining that they cannot acces Roundcube webpage with error: ERROR: Config file "config/config.php" not found. You need to configure SquirrelMail before you can use it. Like what? I'm not using Squirrelmail. What I find out was that there was missing config file for roundcube in apache2/conf-enabled, so I created annother one with alias poiting to /usr/share/roundcube.

Config file /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/roundcube.conf

Alias /roundcube /usr/share/roundcube
Alias /webmail /usr/share/roundcube

If I type wrong alias, I get 404, sor alias is working poiting to that directory, but then.. Huh.. Also I winf another roundcube folder in roundcube folder /usr/share/roundcube/roundcube with exactly same code like in parent with time matching to Linux update / php installation.

IMAP is working. Just Rouncube part is messed up.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

Problem solved. For others with same problem:

There was a symlink in /usr/share/squirrelmail -> roundcube, so when I ran apt-get upgrade the system wrote new squirrelmail files to roundcube folder and rewrited index.html (error from my first post: ERROR: Config file "config/config.php" not found. You need to configure SquirrelMail before you can use it.), so after typing <server-ip>/webmail it was trying to run unconfigured squirrelmail from roundcube folder so it was "masking" itself :)

I was unaware of this symlink (I haven't installed that server) and after downloading propriete version of roundcube and copying files to /usr/share/roundcube (+ plus deleting squirrelmail files) the roundcube started working again properly.

You have upgraded to PHP 7 right?
So this directive will be ignored by PHP 7: <IfModule mod_php5.c>
Try to change it to this: <IfModule mod_php7.c>
