I've been using rainloop (webmail client), but it's not being updated,
and there's a fork, called snappymail. Both are in the freebsd ports
and packages. Neither have a maintainer.

I've installed snappymail-php84 as a pkg. I try to use the /?admin url
to do the setup, and get this error message:

-------------------------------
[302] The following PHP extensions are not available in your PHP
configuration!

mbstring
li>
fileinfo
-------------------------------

I think we can ignore the spurious "li>". Both mbstring and fileinfo
php extensions are installed (and were installed by pkg when snappymail
was installed). They are listed in the output of "php -m". The actual
.so files are where they should be (along with all the other php
extensions, permissions are the same, etc.

I'm not a PHP guy, so I'm using google to learn about things like "php -m".

This is a 14.3-RELEASE-p14 system.

How can I find out why snappymail is complaining about these extensions
being missing (and fix it) ?

Thanks,
Bill Dudley

Are those extensions enabled in the web server?
