fsockopen failer in squirrel mail, Help !!

[vincenzobar]

I am getting these 2 errors

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:143 in /var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.2/functions/imap_general.php on line 454


Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused

I have APF and i allowed 111 and 143 and still no go. What am i missing about this error.

You don't say if you're using Linux or FreeBSD.

If linux, make sure that xinetd has imap configured.

Should be the same as for RH versions.
So you should need to enable /etc/xinetd.d/imap.
If it doesn't exist you should take a look if you've actually have imap stuff on the server with locate imapd.
It should be mentioned it has to exist somewhere, on my servers it's at the common location: /usr/sbin/imapd.

If it doesn't exist, you should check if you've ran the install script for the service correctly .

Simply run:

# service xinetd restart

and see if that works.
