But much of my time was spent poking around the web for clues, without success, so I've asked here in case there's a simple 'ah, you forgot to do xxxx' that I haven't found. This is a web problem, nothing to do with roundcube, but as I said, as far as I can see, the bits are in place for apache2 to work, I just can't see why it isn't. This isn't the first alias/symlink php thing I've had trouble with, but previously the cause has been obvious, a missing or incorrect symlink, a filename wrong. For example, I've found references to 'roundcubemail' as part of the calling URL, but the apache2.conf file alias is clearly just 'roundcube'. I've tried both, of course, just in case... As for prayer, that just plain looks wrong, as if someone has taken an in-house program from UofC and just dropped it into the Debian repository, without actually adding the stuff to make it install properly. I'm genuinely curious as to whether that works for anyone. I've just replied here about mariadb, which in its early days in Debian, also wasn't 'plumbed in' properly, so I know it can happen. But there are a few more avenues to explore before I raise a bug report. -- Joe
