[horde] problem with new install on new Centos 7.5 system

[Edward Burr]

Hello,

I have been running Horde for many years on Centos 6 and am working on
replacing with Centos 7, but am having trouble installing Horde on it.
Any thoughts on what I could do to get past this would be greatly
appreciated.

I am following instructions at:
https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware/docs/INSTALL

In short, the three issues I'm encountering are:
- step 2.5: 'pecl install http' fails due to "no releases available"
- step 3.1: 'pear install -a horde/groupware' fails a few pieces:
horde/Horde_Backup
pecl/sasl
pecl/idn
- step 3.3: 'groupware-install' fails due to the "pear" directory
not being present in the horde directory


The new system is:
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for the suggestion. 'yum install php-http' installed
php-pecl-http and now "pecl list" shows pecl_http is installed. So,
the step 2.5 issue appears to be cleared up?

But the step 3.1 and 3.3 issues remain.

3.1) During "pear install -a horde/groupware":

Failed to download pecl/idn within preferred state "stable", latest

Trying to install each manually fails.

If you are using distribution php, get the PECLs from distribution (yum).

For installing RC packages, either preinstall Horde_Backup ignoring deps
(pear install -n horde/Horde_Backup) or allow installation of beta software

|pear config-setpreferred_state beta|

change to stable when you are done.

I realize it's holiday time here in the US, but that has given me lots
of time to play with this. I'm not trying to push for faster answers,
just reporting what I've tried.

I've gone so far as wiping the box and completely re-installing CentOS
7.5 from scratch and bringing it up to latest updates, and then
attempting this Horde Groupware installation again following the
suggestions given in this email thread. I am again stuck at the same
point as described below.

Is there any way to get around Horde_Core's requirement for a level of
Horde_Backup that doesn't exist, while still handling all the rest of
Horde_Core's requirements during installation?

And any thoughts on the pecl/sasl and pecl/idn issues?

Thanks,
Edward

Another thought, has anyone actually installed Horde Groupware on
CentOS 7.5 yet? Is there a preferred Linux distribution? I chose
CentOS because I work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a daily basis
at work.

Though I am concerned that with the Horde_Backup / Horde_Core version
requirement mismatch and their independence from any Linux
distribution, I wonder how anyone has gotten around that?

Is there something missing from the install documentation at
https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware/docs/INSTALL that I should know
about?

install ok: channel://pear.horde.org/Horde_Backup-1.0.0RC1
which leaves us still with the same problem as above.

why do you install Horde_Backup at all? It's not required at all.

This is why:
[***@c7 horde]# pear install -a horde/groupware

"pear/Console_GetoptPlus"

I guess I got so hung up on those three failures during the install
because of the subsequent error with:

[***@c7 horde]# groupware-install

Based on the responses I've received, I was hoping that clearing up
the pear install failures would fix the groupware-install failure.

NOTE: The referenced Config.php that triggers "no such file" is
present, is in the include_path, and is world readable. So I'm not
understanding this error, either.

Another thought, has anyone actually installed Horde Groupware on
CentOS 7.5 yet? Is there a preferred Linux distribution? I chose
CentOS because I work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a daily
basis at work.
Though I am concerned that with the Horde_Backup / Horde_Core
version requirement mismatch and their independence from any
Linux distribution, I wonder how anyone has gotten around that?
Is there something missing from the install documentation at
https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware/docs/INSTALL that I should
know about?

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the suggestion. 'yum install php-http' installed
php-pecl-http and now "pecl list" shows pecl_http is installed. So,
the step 2.5 issue appears to be cleared up?
But the step 3.1 and 3.3 issues remain.
Failed to download horde/Horde_Backup within preferred state "stable",

Trying to install each manually fails.

If you are using distribution php, get the PECLs from
distribution (yum).
For installing RC packages, either preinstall Horde_Backup ignoring deps
(pear install -n horde/Horde_Backup) or allow installation of beta software
|pear config-setpreferred_state beta|
change to stable when you are done.

I uninstalled all the horde packages and pre-installed
Horde_Backup per your suggestion.

The install directions appear pretty straightforward. I've got
to be missing something obvious, but I can't figure out what
it could be.

Okay, I'm past this now. Sorry to bother you about this part.

The Horde_Backup, pecl/sasl, and pecl/idn failures still bug me, though.

Perhaps an alternative view may be useful. I tend not to rely on
distribution packages. Instead, create an individual user account,
install pear locally, and then use the local pear installation to
install horde and dependencies. That's the way I've always done it, and
I've found far less issues.

CentOS 7.5 yet? Is there a preferred Linux distribution? I chose

Yes, definitely. I have a couple of CentOS 7.x VPSs with Horde
Groupware Webmail Edition installed.

Post by Edward Burr

I don't have Horde_Backup installed anywhere; not sure where that
requirement stems from.

Post by Edward Burr
Is there something missing from the install documentation at
https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware/docs/INSTALL that I should
know about?

It looks pretty straightforward to me, and equivalent to the
horde/webmail channel. (Incidentally, are you sure you don't want the
webmail edition? Most people want IMP, which is bundled with the
Webmail Edition but not bare Groupware).

Looking at the steps you've gone through, I'd recommend a couple of
things. One is to get a newer version of PHP using the webtatic
repository:

https://webtatic.com/projects/yum-repository/

The stock PHP even for RHEL/CentOS 7.x is PHP 5.4, and you'd likely be
better off with at least 5.6 if not 7.1, both of which are available
from webtatic. Don't neglect the yum-plugin-replace package (also from
webtatic) which allows you to do things like:

"yum replace php-common --replace-with php71w-common"

which will figure out all the dependencies and (mostly) seamlessly
replace one version of all your installed php packages with another.

The other thing I'd change is to add -B to your pear command line for
the initial install, so:

"pear install -a -B horde/groupware" (or horde/webmail if you also
want IMP)

which will leave out the binary dependencies. You should be able to
install most of the required pecl modules directly from the webtatic
repository; the only one I actually had to build locally is the
optional (but recommended) horde_lz4 package.
