A couple of days ago I attempted to add a new e-mail account to one of my domains through postfixadmin. It created fine, but when I attempt to log into the account through squirrelmail, I get the error: Error opening ../data/default_pref Default preference file not found or not readable! Any of the previous email accounts are working fine. I'm currently using 1.4.8 of squirrelmail on a Fedora core 5 box. I did not make any recent changes to the server and this problem just "appeared" I did a search for this error on the forum and followed all the instructions that I found..ie..setting permissions ect with no avail. I'm pretty new to linux so please bear with me. The default_pref file is located in the following directory: /var/www/puyallup/webmail/data I also confirmed the proper directory structure in conf.pl as absolute. Also, I checked phpmyadmin to verify the new email account was created in the Mysql database and it was there. I also followed this guide: http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/DataPermission I do have a question. I don't understand the comman line at the bottom (This is from the guide): If you have done all of the above, and it still doesn't work, and you are running a linux like Fedora Core 4, that has SELinux, there here is what to do: My data and attachment directories are outside of the html space, as recommended for security, and hence also outside of the space that squirrelmail, run by httpd, is allowed to access. Running: # chcon -t httpd_squirrelmail_t /usr/share/squirrelmail/attachments # chcon -t httpd_squirrelmail_t /usr/share/squirrelmail/data Any help would be greatly appreciated.
