Anyway, lines like the > following are located throughout the error logs: > > [error] [client X.X.X.X] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: rcptaddress > in /var/www/squirrelmail/src/login.php on line 146 There is no such variable in the SM code with this name. You might want to explain what modifications you have made to the code and what plugins you are using (you say none, but either you DO have some plugin or code modification in place, or someone has hacked your system). > and corresponding to when the random logouts occur, are these errors > (one for each random logout): > > [error] [client X.X.X.X] File does not exist: > /home/virtual/site233/fst/var/www/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php3a5def33 > [error] [client X.X.X.X] File does not exist: > /home/virtual/site233/fst/var/www/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php29e09f87 > [error] [client X.X.X.X] File does not exist: > /home/virtual/site233/fst/var/www/squirrelmail/src/move_messages.phpf9f96dfb > [error] [client X.X.X.X] File does not exist: > /home/virtual/site233/fst/var/www/squirrelmail/src/redirect.phpdc6cc80a Is the path correct for these (not the filename, the path)? The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that these are file names for a PHP accelerator/cache that is malfunctioning. If you are running one such application, turn it off and try again. > (Incidentally, these were all logged with E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE). It is always helpful when debugging to use E_ALL and DO NOT suppress E_NOTICE. I think the posting guidelines recommend such. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
