When trying to install Horde or squirrelmail via the install scripts option on my fresh Debian server I get the following error message: HTTP/1.0 500 Perl execution failed Server: MiniServ/0.01 Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 21:35:52 GMT Content-type: text/html Connection: close Error - Perl execution failed Undefined subroutine &php\_pear::get\_pear\_commands called at /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/scripts-lib.pl line 764. This happened after updating Pear to the required version (1.6.1). Any suggestions on how to fix this? ---

Fixed it. Don’t know if it had something to do with it but it seems that installing Webmin module PHP-Pear-modules(v1.2) found in the repository did the trick…(?) Apparently my webmin was running version PHP-Pear-modules(v1.0) ---
