Still doesn't work? hmmm, "Data dir ()" maybe indicates that the $data_dir isn't configured at all, the error message should normally read "Data dir (/srv/www/........)"? Please correct me someone if I'm wrong. Example from my config.php: $data_dir = SM_PATH . 'data/'; and pwd in data: /srv/www/htdocs/sqmail142/data of course squirrel resides in /srv/www/htdocs/sqmail142 ...and yes I know it's an old version I should update asap ;) Roland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
