#1701 File base Global address book doesn't work in 1.44RC1
1.44RC1 Apache 2.050, PHP 4.34, Cyrus 2.28
Using a file based global address book in 1.44 RC1
results in "unable to initialize globall address book"
This happnes whether specifying the full path to global
address book or not on conf.php
I fixed it by adding an extra line just before the
add_backend for the global address book in addressbook.php:
$abook_global_filename = getHashedFile("global",
$data_dir, $abook_global_file);
This of course means that the global addressbook MUST
be in the data dir.
/* if (!
preg_match("/[\/\\\]/",$abook_global_file)) {
// no path chars
$abook_global_filename=$data_dir .
$abook_global_file;
} elseif
(preg_match("/^\/|\w:/",$abook_global_file)) {
// full path is set in options (starts with
slash or x:)
$abook_global_filename=$abook_global_file;
} else {
$abook_global_filename=SM_PATH .
$abook_global_file;
}
*/
$abook_global_filename =
getHashedFile("global", $data_dir, $abook_global_file);
$r =
$abook->add_backend('local_file',Array('filename'=>$abook_global_filename,
'name' => _("Global address book"),
'detect_writeable' => false,
'writeable'=> $abook_global_file_writeable));

You have disabled tests that make sure that address book is
defined in three possible ways and forced storing it in some
place which depends on $username. Why?

Possibly that was caused by inheriting the config.php from
an earlier version (1.42). However I had no problem with the
personal address book, which uses the same $data_dir.

That was just a typo, I had meant to write
/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/global.abook. Adding the line with
GetHashedFile() fixes the problem without moving or renaming
the global.abook so permissions are not the issue.

v.1.69) and 1.4.5cvs (functions/addressbook.php v.1.47.2.11)
