I keep obtaining the "Fatal Error: Class COM not found" in my PHPWebAdmin page in hMailServer and XAMPP

Question

I'm trying to work with hMailServer and XAMPP but I keep obtaining the

" Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'COM' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPWebAdmin\initialize.php:16 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPWebAdmin\index.php(23): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPWebAdmin\initialize.php on line 16 ".

Even after I had,

1) Modified the config.php with the right strings:

$hmail_config['rooturl'] = "http://localhost:8080/PHPWebAdmin/" 

and

$hmail_config['rootpath'] = "C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPWebAdmin";

2) Installed the extension=php_com_dotnet.dll and the DCOM class;

3) Enabled the DCOM;

4) Already modified the security of HMAILSERVER in dcomcnfg.exe.

5) Apache and MySql are running in XAMPP.

I can't think to no one else solution, somebody can help me?

Answer 1

That's described at PHPWebAdmin setup problems:

DCOM not being enabled

PHPWebAdmin uses the hMailServer COM API to access the settings and your objects in your hMailServer installation. For this to work, it may be required to enable DCOM in the PHP configuration. Make sure that com.allow_dcom = true exists and is uncommented in php.ini.

I presume that also means you need the COM extension too.

Answer 2

In your php.ini (make sure it is the one Apache2 is loading when it loads mod_php) find the the line

; extension=php_com_dotnet

Remove the ; in the beginning, save the file and restart Apache2. Then check again.
