The administrator plugin needs configuration. Did you read its INSTALL file? When correctly configured and you are set as an allowable administrator, it will add a new block on the Options screen titled "Administration". > So I closed and dumped the temp files from all my browsers to make > sure I had no cached pages etc. I then went back and tried again and now I > am getting the dreaded: > > "Could not include PEAR database functions required for the database > backend. > Is PEAR installed, and is the include path set correctly to find DB.php? > Please contact your system administrator and report this error." So you changed something else that you are leaving out here. We have no way to know what that is - only you can figure that out. Also see: http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/TestPHPSettings Check that it shows the right include path and so forth. > CentOS 5.0 fully patched no GUI The following should ideally all show version information, although they aren't relevant to the problem you seem to be having. > Postfix > > Dovecot > > MySQL > > Postfixadmin > > MailScanner > > Clam-AV > > Spamassassin > > > > In /etc/php.ini: > > > > I do have an 'include_path' set to my DB.php file (/usr/share/pear/DB.php) The include path should not point to the DB.php file itself. > I do have an include_path set to my PEAR dir (/usr/share/pear) You should only have ONE include_path.
