1. I get a /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfreetype when the GD module is compiling
    
   A. ln -s /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so
   ldconfig
   
   While you're at it
   ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so
   ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
    
2. GD Module STILL won't compile! A test fails.. What do I do?
    
   A. Find a perl-GD.rpm already on the net, or force an install
   
   ./installscript.pl FORCEGD
   The broken test result will not affect the Mail Master™.
    
3. When I go to the admin page, I get the code to run mailmanager.
    
   A. Make sure cgi support is turned on in apache. In addition, make sure index.cgi is a DirectoryIndex in apache
    
4. I get a "Forbidden" error when i try to load /admin/index.cgi
    
   A. Turn on Execution for that Apache Directory
   
   Options +ExecCGI
   AllowOverride All
    
5. I get a "Forbidden" error when i try to load /userlogin/index.cgi
    
   A. Turn on Execution for that Apache Directory
   
   Options +ExecCGI
   AllowOverride All
    
6. I get a blank page when I goto /webmail/
    
   A. Make sure PHP is turned on in the apache configuration and make sure short_open_tag is turned on inside /etc/php.ini
    
7. I can't login with the default admin/admin username/password
    
   A. Did you turn on the cron job?
   
   If you have already, run mailadmincron.pl in the admin directory to force it to run
    
8. User Logins do not work in Webmail
    
   A. Did you turn on IMAP on your system? (/etc/xinet.d/imap)
   
   A. Some Versions of IMAP that are installed by red-hat do not work because the TLS option is turned on
    
9. I get A fatal error has occurred: DB Error: extension not found [line 102 of /var/www/html/horde/lib/Prefs/sql.php] when logging into webmail.
    
   A. php-mysql is not installed. Install it
    
10. No one can send the server mail
     
    A: open /etc/sendmail.cf
    look for O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA get rid of ",Addr=127.0.0.1" so it looks like "O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp, Name=MTA"
     
11. The webmail login looks really weird and has ': "?> charactors all over.
     
    A. Edit /etc/php.ini and make sure short_open_tag is turned On (restart apache if you need to change it)
     
    
12. When logging into webmail, I get "Warning: Failed opening 'Log.php' for inclusion"
    
    A. Edit /etc/php.ini and make sure /etc/share/pear is in the include_path (restart apache if you need to change it)
    (an example include path line is include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear")
     
    Install php-pear-Log-1.4-1.i386.rpm (in the downloads dir).. Somehow RedHat 8.0 forgot some files.
     
    
13. It says I'm unregistered
     
    A. You're not connected to the internet.
     
    
14. It won't install any of the perl modules under RH9
     
    A. RH9 is busted in a few places. You need to set LANG=C before you run CPAN or the installer.
