Hello All,

It is my proud pleasure to announce the final release of SquirrelMail
1.4.5.

This release is very important, and we strongly advise everybody to
update to the latest release.

Security Update
===============
This version contains a number of security updates that were brought
to our attention via a number of sources.

Several cross site scripting exploits were uncovered by Martijn
Brinkers and have been assigned the CAN-2005-1769.

Another vulnerability was uncovered by James Bercegay, from GulfTech
Security Research, which would allow a user to craft a special page
that might permit them to overwrite other user settings. This has
been assigned the ID CAN-2005-2095.

Further details on SquirrelMail vulnerabilities can be found at the
following address:

We strongly encourage any persons uncovering Security issues to
contact the SquirrelMail team via [email protected].


In This Release
===============
This release contains mostly bug fixes, including corrections for PHP
behaviour changes in file handling, and some data types. We've also
added support for the SquirrelSpell plugin under safe_mode if using
PHP 4.3.0 or higher. Other changes include support for Priority
headers, new Tahoma style sheets, and fixes in saving of searches.

just download the gzip'd file from the mirror of your choice into the packages directory, then update the version in the squirrelmail.sh script and that's it.
 
and you have to copy your old data folder over and make sure all the files are owned by apache or else all users will lose their preferences and address book.
 
Hmm I don't have squirrelmail.sh on my server. Anyone care to share?
 
Hmm when I run this script I get the follwoing errors:


[root@tp scripts]# ./squirrelmail.sh
/bin/cp: cannot stat `/var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.5/config/config_default.php': No such file or d
irectory

Is there a step missing? Why would the script that the directory already exists?

./squirrelmail.sh

Thats all Folks!
Click to expand...

I did exactley as said here and nothing happens. No errors and the version now says 1.4.5 This whole process took less then 1 second so it appears that nothing happened. The upgrade is that fast and simple? I can't beleive it. I must of missed something.
 
rldev, Tauvo,
Just try to create a new folder before upgrading:

cd /var/www/html
mkdir squirrelmail-1.4.5

Then try again all above sequence.
It should works now.

This is what I did:

wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/squirrelmail/squirrelmail-1.4.5.tar.gz
gunzip squirrelmail-1.4.5.tar.gz
tar xf squirrelmail-1.4.5.tar.gz
cd squirrelmail-1.4.5

Now squirrelmail.sh that was mentioned before is in:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts

How does runing squirrelmail.sh where I did everything above update the current version? In the squirrelmail-1.4.5 directory there is a ./configure file but not any squirrelmail.sh. So I do not see how I can upgrade this from either way.
 
Give this a try, I just upgraded without any problems:
Code: 
wget [url]http://www.mark87.com/directadmin/tools/upgrade.squirrelmail.sh[/url]
chmod 755 upgrade.squirrelmail.sh
./upgrade.squirrelmail.sh

Answer the questions it asks
 
I use DA and I have no idee of how updating Squirrelmail... anybody could help me please ?
 
I never use linux and i don't understand at all. What i wish is find somebody kind to do it for me...
