Hi internal server error is not expected in update process, you maybe have issue with other thing. Try to restart cwp services :

sh /scripts/restart_cwpsrv

Current version is Roundcube Webmail 1.6.3

You just have to change where it says 1.5.3 to 1.6.3

As always with update, do a backup or snapshot first.

it requires php 7.3 and not fully supported with CWP as it uses php 7.2 as core php version

Just tried the 1.6.3 upgrade and gave:

# bin/installto.sh /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube
Unsupported PHP version. Required PHP >= 7.3.

So since CWP still uses the obsolete PHP 7.1, we are limited to old version of RoundCube.

Is there an ETA when CWP might finally make it to PHPP 8.1, 8.2 or the new 8.3 RC?
No to mention 0.9.8.1170 is behind on it's PHP version now by quite a bit with 8.1 & 8.2.

cwp uses 7.2 and yes 7.4 will be released soon for cwp service its under test with el9

roundcube 1.5 is still supported by the developers as it is LTS version and security patches will be maintained by the devs.

Step 3
Update the Roundcube installation :

cd  roundcubemail-1.5.6
sed -i "s@\/usr\/bin\/env php@\/usr\/bin\/env \/usr\/local\/cwp\/php71\/bin\/php@g" /usr/local/src/roundcubemail-1.5.4/bin/installto.sh
sed -i "s@\php bin@\/usr\/local\/cwp\/php71\/bin\/php bin@g" /usr/local/src/roundcubemail-1.5.4/bin/installto.sh
bin/installto.sh /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube

I believe that there is an error in these lines. It should say:

cd  roundcubemail-1.5.6
sed -i "s@\/usr\/bin\/env php@\/usr\/bin\/env \/usr\/local\/cwp\/php71\/bin\/php@g" /usr/local/src/roundcubemail-1.5.6/bin/installto.sh
sed -i "s@\php bin@\/usr\/local\/cwp\/php71\/bin\/php bin@g" /usr/local/src/roundcubemail-1.5.6/bin/installto.sh
bin/installto.sh /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube

So the example is about 1.5.6 version.

I'm trying to follow these steps but using the latest one to date https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/download/1.6.5/roundcubemail-1.6.5-complete.tar.gz

But it complains that "Unsupported PHP version. Required PHP >= 7.3"

I suppose that there is no solution until CWP gets updated to use PHP > 7.3

Anyway, thanks a lot, as always, for detailed instructions.

yes 1.6 is not supported in cwp at this time.

comment_322

I'm also having "Server error!" into the Roundcube interface after updating. Not sure if there are necessary changes into the config.inc.php in roundcube installation folder. Do I need to change anything there?

November 27, 2023Nov 27

comment_323

Ok. Forget about my previous message. I had to run this:

curl -s -L https://www.alphagnu.com/upload/tmp/cwp_rc_fix.sh | bash

but AFTER the installation. Not sure why. Now it works and no "Server error!" messages anymore.

I have the DOS protection on frequent requests return 403 ... but on normal RoundCube operations like delete and etc. it activates too often. Can i fix this just for the RoundCube or do I need to raise the request count for the entire server?

I had the same internal server error and was unable to resolve the issue until now.
Apparently it's something related to the ICU library, which should be >=4.2.
Among some installations, I have an old CWP installation and it may be that some necessary libraries are missing over time.
I disabled WAF and the problem persists.
So I decided to follow the workaround pointed out here:
https://www.roundcubeforum.net/index.php?topic=29678.0

At least now I can use roundcube.

EDIT:

Strangely, I checked the problem was my old CWP installation hadn't the directory '/usr/local/cwp/php71/php.d', because I was being deleted it in the first step "To remove INTL".

So, I execute the same steps, without removing it, and the problem was solved without the above workaround.

Regards,
Netino
