    SqurrielMail

    Hey Guys

    Has anyone installed squrrielmail recently. I have done it numerous times in the past, but today I am getting an error. Im not sure if Im doing something wrong (most likely) or if its because of server move.

    Im getting this error when I try to log in

    Error opening ../data/default_pref
    Could not create initial preference file!
    /var/local/squirrelmail/data/ should be writable by user XXXXX

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    You won't be able to access /var/local/squirrelmail/data/. You'll need to adjust the script to use a directory that is local on the account.

      yeah i just figured it out and got that part fixed. Login works now

      thanks andrew.

      One last thing. I did get this msg:

      ERROR: You have enabled any one of magic_quotes_runtime, magic_quotes_gpc or magic_quotes_sybase in your PHP configuration. We recommend all those settings to be off. SquirrelMail may work with them on, but when experiencing stray backslashes in your mail or other strange behaviour, it may be advisable to turn them off.


      Is there anything I can do about that?

        You can create your own file named php.ini and place the settings changes in it that you need. The php.ini file then needs to be placed in each directory where the changes are required. It will not automatically work recursively through subdirectories.
