i am having great difficulty in setting this up.
any help will be appreciated.
I first ran into PHP roughly 6 years ago, working at an ISP. I had to setup IMP, the Horde webmail system.
It was so insanely bad that the horde 'faq-o-matic' at the time had *seven* different entries detailing how to work through all the different problems. Once you made it through those, you also had to visit multiple mailing list posts - which were referenced in various areas. Even those didn't fully solve the problem.
It was, to be blunt,
the worst software install I had ever gone through in my entire life. It wasn't until I found perl and its evil CPAN/dependency hell on Redhat7 that the title would fall.
Six years later, and I just had a friend relay almost exactly the same sentiments.. hard install procedure, difficult configuration, and fairly unhelpful documentation. I was a little surprised that it was still difficult after all this time, but knew just how he felt. He's a professional PHP programmer, so he has a solid understanding of the "normal" process.
To be fair, I don't know how hard it is anymore. I moved on to Squirrelmail long ago, and I can install it in minutes.
Despite Horde having some of the best programmers in the PHP community, it seems the install process hasn't improved over half a decade later. That is a little disheartening. Hopefully someone else can offer some help. Me, I suggest you try Squirrelmail instead.
