If that is the root of the website that your webserver points to for your squirrelmail domain name. e.g. if http://webmail.example.com/ points to /etc/squirrelmail Then yes. (see later) Mind you /etc/squirrelmail seems a strange location to me, your mileage may vary. > Don't I need to reference some code in a file to render the file > visible? I think I am missing something. The file is visible, because the clients request it. You can see this by looking at your access logs for your existing squirrelmail website. You do of course have something like Apache and have separate log files for access and error logs for the squirrelmail website. e.g. DocumentRoot <path to squirrelmail> ErrorLog logs/webmail/error_log CustomLog logs/webmail/access_log common ServerName webmail.example.com This would create error_log and access_log in logs/webmail folder below Apache root (often /var/www/). This is always helpful for checking specific site errors, when virtual hosting, and for only seeing errors. Typical errors when favicon.ico NOT set in root directory and NO <link> tag reference in web pages. 193.123.228.22 - - [15/Jul/2008:09:08:01 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 309 81.174.165.43 - - [24/Jul/2008:12:27:57 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 309 77.44.46.42 - - [10/Sep/2008:14:52:25 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 309 So if you just place the file 'favicon.ico' at correct size and format in the squirrelmail website root directory, the file will be fetched by the browsers. -- Paul Carpenter | paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/> PC Services <http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/fonts/> Timing Diagram Font <http://www.gnuh8.org.uk/> GNU H8 - compiler & Renesas H8/H8S/H8 Tiny <http://www.badweb.org.uk/> For those web sites you hate ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
