Squirrelmail not working after 8.0.1 update

Unread post by KaTXi »

I get this error after login to SquirrelMail:

Code: Select all

Error opening /var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/ should be writable by user apache
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.
That file is a link to /etc/squirrelmail/default_pref which I've even made 777, but the error is still there.
If I remove the link and copy the file to the directory I get:

Code: Select all

Error opening ../data/default_pref
Default preference file not found or not readable!
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.
But I don't have a data directory... Any ideas?

BTW: Yes, I've already reinstalled squirrlmail and get the same error :D

Forget it...

It wasn't psa, it was PHP 5 and the "default" php.ini , it had safe_mode = On, so squirrelmail couldn't read outside it's homedir...
