Google OAuth Issue and .Env Issue

[abidkhanpk]

Hi,

I had been looking for a web email client on which I can check all my email accounts simultaneously just like Thunder bird app on my mac. Cypht seems like it but it's been three days I couldn't make it work. Firstly, on local deployment, it gives me error messages again and again that .env file is missing which I don't want to use as it is unsecure and .env file can be viewed by just visiting mydomainname.com/webmail/.env which show all the content of it. I configured database.php file in config directory and it seems to work but still receiving .env file not found error but app is loading fine.

Second issue that I am facing is, it require composer which is not available on my shared webhosting plan. Is there a wayout for this?

Thirdly, on local deployment, when I try to login gmail account and click on enable, gmail page opens which gives this error: Access blocked: Authorization Error Error 400: invalid_request Request details: flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow

Best Regards

Hey @abidkhanpk,

I understand the worry around your insecure .env file. You're right - it shouldn't be viewable from the web. This is why the instructions mention you put that file somewhere else on the file system than under document root. Have you considered putting it in "/usr/local/share/cypht/.env" for example?

With regard to missing composer, can you install software on your VPS or Shared Host?

Lastly, to help with the authorization error, more information is needed. You'll likely want to look into what GMail / Google requires to use OAUTH2. The secrets you're using ought to be checked as well to ensure they're aligned with your Google account but don't post them here. :-)
