About

Roundcube (RC) is a webmail client that runs under the LAMP stack.

Files

When installed via apt, this is where Roundcube's files end up:

path	description
`/etc/roundcube`	global configuration stuff: `defaults.inc.php`: must be present; should not be edited `config.inc.php`: must be present, and should be edited to contain local settings `main.inc.php`: old name for `config.inc.php` RC will load this if `config.inc.php` is not found should not be present in new installations `debian-db.php`: database credentials for RC installs in Debian-based systems
`/usr/share/roundcube`	application code
`/var/lib/roundcube`	installation image -- mostly links to pieces of the other two

Tech Notes

The MariaDB/MySQL password must not contain the & character, because the DSN parser treats it as syntactically significant. There does not seem to be any way of escaping it, either. The critical piece of code is in /usr/share/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php, line 1336:

if (strpos($dsn, '&') !== false) {
    $opts = explode('&', $dsn);
}
