php4-imap module nog working..

For a add-on to SugarCRM I need the php module, php4-imap.
I first thought to install just via putty, but heard that I should do it through DA. So I searched the KB and found this: Adding custom modues to php.

I've editted the configure.php as described there, did
# ./build clean
and
# ./build php
and then restarted apache from DA (because our OS, Debian, isn't listed there).

But the SugarCRM add-on still gives me an error:
"imap support not available in your PHP installation - please check your php.ini for 'php_imap' extension."

Ok, also done that. I first checked via a simpel phpinfo() script what that said.
The word imap only showed up twice.
1) In the configure command, pretty logic because I just added it.
2) In the Apache -> Loaded Modules

Then I checked the php.ini, there is only one occurance of the word imap. It is within a list of dll files, not realy interesting for debian I guess.

I don't have a good understanding of linux but I wouldn't know of anything else that I could have overseen.
Does anyone know what is wrong here? What I do wrong? And what can be done to get it working?
Many thanks in advance!

Edit configure.php in /usr/local/directadmin/customapache

add this line (after the last "with"):

--with-imap \

Then recompile PHP

# ./build php

I see. First I had
--with-php4-imap
at the end of that file.

When I put
--with-imap \
after the last --with, the # ./build php gives an error..


Maybe I should add
--with-php4-imap
instead of without the -php4? Thats the official php module name.

Would it be useful (and could it do any harm) to post my phpinfo() location and the full text in the configure.php?

Ok, tested that one too. Not working again.

So in the configure.php
--with-php4-imap (at the end of the file)
--with-php4-imap \ (after the last --with)
and
--with-imap \ (after the last --with)
are not working..

So I suppose the problem lies somewhere else. Anyone has an idea on where it is?

You need the c-client stuff to build imap support in php. There are a ton of posts on the forum about this. Do a search here for "php and imap".

Ok, thanks! Sorry, I forgot to use the search here too..
