If you are not using PHP safe_mode, it should be owned by www-data, group = www-data, permissions = 0750. If you are using PHP safe_mode, directory should be owned by same user that owns other SquirrelMail scripts, group = www-data, permissions 0770 mkdir /var/local/squirrelmail/data chown www-data:www-data /var/local/squirrelmail/data chmod 0750 /var/local/squirrelmail/data same thing applies to attachment directory. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/squirrelmail-fails-to-start-tf4937676.html#a14156652 Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
