Check mysql connection:

cat /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/config.inc.php |grep mysql:
$config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://roundcube:lasMubMX08D3HKtr@unix(/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock)/roundcube';
mysql -u roundcube -p
show tables;

All tables should be in place:

+---------------------+
| Tables_in_roundcube |
+---------------------+
| cache               |
| cache_index         |
| cache_messages      |
| cache_shared        |
| cache_thread        |
| contactgroupmembers |
| contactgroups       |
| contacts            |
| cp_schema_version   |
| dictionary          |
| identities          |
