Hi,

after using custombuild to install Apache 2.2 and PHP 4 & 5 (CGI) I cant get squirrelmail and & webmail to work anymore.

Webmail spits out the error:
ERROR (512): Smarty error: problem creating directory "tmp/_cached_templates" (/var/www/html/webmail/smarty/Smarty.class.php:589)

SquirrelMail spits out the error after login:
Error opening ../data/default_pref
Default preference file not found or not readable!
Please contact your system administrator and report this error

I've looked on the forums and read about using ./webmail.sh and ./squirrelmail.sh to fix the permissions but this hasn't worked.

Anybody else have any suggestions please?

Thanks for the help,
Phil
 
Try:
Code:
chown -R webapps:webapps /var/www/html/webmail
 
Just do the same :)

Code:
chown -R webapps:webapps /var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.10a
 
You're welcome. Just added to the CustomBuild FAQ :) Have a nice day!
 
How about this one?

Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
61 : Connection refused

That is squirell mail. I had that smarty problem with the eubia mail or what ever it is but got it fixed. This squirell mail issue is killing me. Can it be fixed? My users would rather use it verses the other choice.

My box is unix running php4 and mysql5

I know i should update my php as well. :eek:

Thanks in advance either way.

Oh and I did run the cmd that was posted in another thread but it was a no go as well.
 
When i send email have follow error:

ERROR:
Message not sent. Server replied:
Requested action aborted: error in processing
451 Temporary local problem - please try later

any idea ?
 
Dauser2007's problem was not CustomBuild-related. The problem was with ClamAV permissions.
