hey all- so having sorted the difference between STARTTLS and TLS(SSL), and gotten the whole shebang working in squirrelmail-1.5.x with PHP5, I've now realized that i need to go /back/ to PHP 4.4.2 to support a myriad of existing PHP 4 apps on the same server. so, given that, here's my dilemma: when attempting a login, i get the following error: ERROR Error connecting to IMAP server: tls://my.imaps.server. 0 : Unknown error: 0 I'm running FreebSD 6.1-STABLE. I'm attempting to connect to a remote Dovecot IMAPS server. I'm running squirrelmail-1.4.6, along with PHP 4.4.2 and lighttpd 1.4.11 from ports. php extensions include openssl, imap, gettext, et al. squirrelmail settings look like: 4. IMAP Server : my.imaps.server 5. IMAP Port : 993 6. Authentication type : login 7. Secure IMAP (TLS) : true 8. Server software : other 9. Delimiter : detect i'm not attempting STARTTLS for connection now, i just want to use IMAPS on port 993. What's the trick here? thanks, darren david Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
