If you are getting the above statements when you try to login to the plesk panel, here goes the resolution for it.

The issue is due to no free sapce in the hard disk for the plesk to start. In order to fix the issue, you can perform the following steps:

# Execute the following command in the konsole.

df -h
This command shows the current disk usage and available free space in each of the partition. In this case the “/” partition will have no free space. That is usage will be 100 %. So you need to delete the unwanted files in the filled up partition.

Once you have done this you need to restart the plesk service in the server using the following command:

/etc/init.d/psa restart

This should fix the issue

A fatal error has occurred Could not connect to database for SQL SessionHandler. Details have been logged for the administrator.

NB: This is the fix for cpanel servers

# Check the file /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/config/conf.php

# You can find the following entry in the conf.php

$conf['sql']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$conf['sql']['username'] = 'horde';
$conf['sql']['password'] = '<password>';
$conf['sql']['protocol'] = 'tcp';
$conf['sql']['database'] = 'horde';

Try to connect the database horde using the following method
#mysql -uhorde -p<password>

The password is one you get from the above file.

 You will get the "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'horde'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

5. grant the privilege to the database using the mysql( in mysql prompt)
mysql> grant all privileges on horde.* to horde@localhost identified by
'<password>';

You can now login into the Horde Webmail now.

Rvsitebuilder installation in Cpanel

1. If the server has RVSkin installed, update RVSkin to v6.75 up. (Skip this step if you don’t have it).

perl /root/rvadmin/auto_rvskin.pl

2. After getting the license confirmation, SSH to the cPanel server as root, download the installer using the command below:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/
rm -f rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar
wget http://download.rvglobalsoft.com/rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar
tar -xvf rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar
chmod 755 addon_rvsitebuilder.cgi

3. Open WHM as root user, at the bottom left menu under Plugins section, you can find RVSiteBuilder Installer menu.

4. Click RVSiteBuilder Installer to begin the installation process.

5. After complete the installation, you will be sent to RVSiteBuilder Manager automatically.

Horde Error…….Could not connect to database for SQL SessionHandler

1) Open the horde configuration file.

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/config
vi conf.php

2) Change the following two lines from:
$conf[’sql’][’hostspec’] = ‘localhost’;
$conf[’sessionhandler’][’params’][’hostspec’] = ‘localhost’;

To:

$conf[’sql’][’hostspec’] = ‘localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’;
$conf[’sessionhandler’][’params’][’hostspec’] = ‘localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’;

Uninstalling apf in linux machine

First you need to stop the apf service running in the server.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/apf stop

Remove all the apf files from the server.

$ rm -Rf /etc/apf
$ rm -Rf /etc/rc.d/init.d/apf
$ rm -Rf /var/log/apf_log
$ rm -Rf /var/log/apfados_log
$ rm -Rf /usr/local/sbin/apf

Disable apf in the run levels to avoid unwanted resource usage.

$ /sbin/chkconfig –level 345 apf off

Open the following file:

/etc/cron.daily/fw

Now remove the following line from it and save.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/apf restart >> /dev/null 2>&1

How to enable viewing HTML content in Horde.

By default it is not possible for us to view the emails in HTML format using
Horde webmail interface. All the html content will be displayed at the top of
the page and will be requested to download.

To fix this issue you have to enable “Inline HTML message viewing” for Horde in the server.

To enable “Inline html message viewing” you can perform the following steps:

# Goto the horde imp configuration folder at /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config

# Edit the file mime_drivers.php using your favorite editor.

Change the following line
————————————————————
$mime_drivers['imp']['plain']['inline'] = false;
————————————————————

To

————————————————————
$mime_drivers['imp']['plain']['inline'] = true;
————————————————————

# Now restart the cpanel service in the server. Now you will be able to view the html content using
Horde webmail interface.
