Description Semen Panevin 2016-06-02 08:22:54 UTC

After I go to installer step 3 (check configuration) I get "The connection was reset" in browser.

roundcube error log says

[02-Jun-2016 08:09:00 UTC] PHP Warning:  finfo_file(): Failed identify data 0:invalid type 0 in mconvert()application/
octet-stream; charset=binary in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_mime.php on line 721

Tried both php-5.5 and php-5.6, same result

Do I have something misconfigured? Error message is useless in this case...

Huh, that shouldn't happen. That section is wrapped within a feature check: if ...function_exists('finfo_open')...[else skip this bit].

I don't know PHP well enough to really help toubleshoot, but the only hint I've been able to find relates to an extension not being uncommented in php.ini.

Try enabling the following line in your php.ini:
extension=php_fileinfo.dll

Nota bene, that line is commented in my php.ini, and I am not having this problem.

Comment 2 Semen Panevin 2016-06-05 05:25:11 UTC

I've tried to comment out an if block where fileinfo extension is used, it didn't help. So it was just a PHP warning but it doesn't work by some other reason...

Apache error log says

[Sun Jun 05 08:20:00 2016] [error] child died with signal 11

and nothing else..

Comment 3 Semen Panevin 2016-06-05 06:13:16 UTC

After some experiments with php-fpm+nginx instead of apache, and temp session data cleanup due to permission mismatch, it started to work normally. Magic...

This indicates the issue isn't with Roundcube itself, but with your configuration in Apache or PHP.

You may reopen this big when you're able to determine the underlying cause.
