(1) If it is prompt with database connect error, try check you mysql database or change the value in db.inc.php :
$rcmail_config['db_backend'] = 'db';

(2) You can check your php/extension requirement in web installer, but first enable it in main.inc.php, then view it in http://localhost/roundcubemail/installer
