Thanks.
The error log was very terse, however we could evetually trace the problem’s source :
Plesk places strict restriction on the path that PHP can see/use, and disable some viariables such as [PathInfo].
Furthermore, it overrides the apache config using a proprietary system, so you have to follow its convoluted config scheme :
- create a vhost.conf file in the virtual server’s conf folder
- use usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a to regenerate the apache config used (and reload apache to apply it)
In order for egw to work well, the following settings were required :
- add the path to /usr/share/pear in the php include_path variable
- add the path to the file repository in the php open_basedir variable
- add the apache directive “AcceptPathInfo On” to allow the file manager to find the filename to download
- move the php variables from the .htaccess to the vhost.conf file
Eventually our vhost.conf file looks like this, and fixes the problem, for those this may ever help :

Hi Eric,
