Remove each line in the .htaccess file and find out which
one is causing the problem. Please report if you found it.

I had the same problem, I got rid of the .htaccess file on
the main directory. I do not know enough about the file to
make the right modifications though.

Apache reports that you cannot use any sintax on that file
in a htaccess file, example:


... php_flag not allowed here, referer: ...
... order not allowed here, referer:  ...
... deny not allowed here, referer:  ...
...

Best regards...

In order to use this kind of option in .htaccess you must
setup AllowOverride correctly in RoundCubeMail installation,
example:

On httpd.conf

<Directory /var/www/YOUR_ROUNDCUBE_INSTALLATION>
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Options
</Directory>

Then restart apache.

Best regards...

Not a real RoundCube bug

The solution provided in the comment before mine will not work if php runs trough suphp.
To solve this issue, the php_* content inside the .htaccess file should additionally be enclosed in <IfModule? mod_php4.c></IfModule?> tags.

For Example:

---

<IfModule? mod_php4.c>

php_flag display_errors Off
php_flag log_errors On
php_value error_log logs/errors
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M

</IfModule?>

# ... other stuff in file

---

This way, the php_flags are only set, if the php4 module is loaded in the webserver configuration, which is not the case if PHP runs either as cgi or through suphp or similar (suexec for exaple)

I use SVN r 288 at the moment.

oops, sorry bad formatting.
here the corrected example of the correct .htaccess file:

<IfModule? mod_php4.c>
       php_flag display_errors Off
       php_flag log_errors On
       php_value error_log logs/errors
       php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
</IfModule>

# ... other stuff in file 

[beni]

sorry, wiki added again the questionmark. This version is okay:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
       php_flag display_errors Off
       php_flag log_errors On
       php_value error_log logs/errors
       php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
</IfModule>

# ... other stuff in file

This is a configuration problem and not a general RoundCube bug.

[beni]

You are right, this is a configuration issue. But a configuration issue roundcube opens, because roundcube Servers that part of configuration.
So it should be fixed, so that not only the php-module users are satisfied but instead also all the people who use php as cgi.

[mkaatman]

This is a configuration issue. Not caused by Roundcube. None of the files mentioned above are distributed with Roundcube. Maybe a note could be put in the documentation regarding this but it's certainly not a bug.
