PHP Configuration
As any other PHP application some of its aspects depend on PHP settings. You should use php.ini or .htaccess (Apache module) or .user.ini (CGI/FastCGI SAPI) depending on your server setup. Roundcube when running will check most critical settings, try to set them and let you know if something's wrong. Here's a minimal list of settings that you might need to use (with suggested value):
# vi /usr/local/php/php.ini
# vi /usr/local/cwp/php71/php.ini 
  • Memory limit: memory_limit=64M,
  • Options that control logging: display_errors=Off, log_errors=On, error_log=logs/errors.log,
  • Options that control file uploads (e.g. max attachment size): upload_max_filesize=5M, post_max_size=6M,
  • Options that are not compatible with Roundcube: zlib.output_compression=Off, suhosin.session.encrypt=Off, session.auto_start=Off,
  • Options that control session behaviour: session.gc_maxlifetime=21600, session.gc_divisor=500, session.gc_probability=1.
