problem installing PHP-IMAP

[mailnet]

Hello there fellow members.
I wanted to have email bounce function in my script but the script asks me to install php-imap in order to process bounces.

So i installed php-imap by:
sudo yum install --disableexludes=all php-imap

and it says it's installed.

And i followed directadmin's instruction to add these two lines to new file i create configure.php5 in /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2

and built php by this command:
./build php n

After it was being built there comes this error:

----------------------
[b]/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/configure.php5: line 37: --with-imap=/usr/lib/doveco/imap: No such file or directory

*** There was an error while trying to configure php. Check the custom/ap2/configure.php5 file[b]

is this line wrong? but i followed it from directadmin's official instruction.
What am i doing wrong here?

thank you

Hello and welcome!

It sounds like you need dovecot (an IMAP server) installed. Try this:

sudo yum install dovecot

Hi, i installed dovecot and dovecot folder problem is not there anymore but imap is there:
/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/configure.php5: line 32: --with-imap=/usr/lib/dovecot/imap: No such file or directory

i had installed php-imap before:
Package php-imap-5.1.6-39.el5_8.x86_64 already installed and latest version

What is your configure.php5 command supposed to be doing, exactly? Can you provide a link to the instructions that you are following?

There is some discussion of php and imap for directadmin discussed here.

Yes i follow the directadmin's instruction:
