PHP Fatal error: Class 'PEAR' not found in /usr/share/roundcube/program/include/iniset.php on line 132

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

Binary package hint: roundcube

roundcube doesn't show up in the browser
In the syslog (apache error log) I see:

Maybe it's not a bug. Try in \etc\php5\apache2 :

open_basedir = /var/www:/tmp:/usr/share/roundcube:/usr/share/php:/var/lib/roundcube:/etc/roundcube

[H.-Dirk Schmitt (dirk-computer42)]

No change - still the same error message after setting this value in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

I have to same problem.
It does not work with mod_php nor mod_cgi but works with mod_fcgid.
Quite strange...

[Pander (pander)]

Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this?

[Michal Weinfurtner (weinfurt)]

Same problem here

I just added "/usr/share/roundcube:/usr/share/php:/var/lib/roundcube:/etc/roundcube" to open_basedir configuration and roundcube works !

Don't forget restart APACHE

Make sure, you don't have open_basedir reconfigured in <location /> tags somwere in apache2 configuration, like i had. In that case php.ini setting has no effect.

Hello community ;

I've encountered an identical problem on Ubuntu 12.4. To solve it, I've only un-commented the include_path parameter (include_path = ".:/usr/share/php") into the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and restarted the apache2 service.

cheers

Both suggestions are not fixing my 12.10 installation. Still have the same error. My Apache2 config has:

    Alias /rc/program/js/tiny_mce/ /usr/share/tinymce/www/
    Alias /rc /var/lib/roundcube

# Access to tinymce files
<Directory "/usr/share/tinymce/www/">
      Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory /var/lib/roundcube/>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  # This is needed to parse /var/lib/roundcube/.htaccess. See its
  # content before setting AllowOverride to None.
  AllowOverride All
  order allow,deny
  allow from all

I just had the same problem as Pander (#11).

The problem here was another installed webapp (DaviCAL) which overrode include_path within its apache-config.

BTW: I found out by creating /var/lib/roundcube/phpinfo.php:

 <?php phpinfo() ?>

and then calling http://myserver/roundcube/phpinfo.php and checked include_path within core section

Too bad still no replies to http://lists.roundcube.net/pipermail/dev/2013-May/022476.html

[pratyush kumar (pratyushk)]

i too had same problem using roundcube with open_basedir enabled (i use ispconfig)
i got it solved by adding

php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/roundcube:/etc/roundcube:/var/lib/roundcube:/etc/hostname:/etc/mailname:/usr/share/php

and

php_value include_path .:/usr/share/php (got hint from the comment by Andreas Schiler)
