Squirrelmail problems

[Alexanderonline]

Hi all,

After upgrading to 1.4.5 we experince soms problems, but not on all accounts. The problem seems to be in the pref's, here's an error after i tried to log in (the first error said that it failed to open the pref file, after i removed/cleared that file, this error came up)

Error opening ../data/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
../data/ should be writable by user apache
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

Chowning to user apache doens't work, mayby beceause we use suPHP? Currently the pref files have the owner admin.
Is this a known problem, and does anybody know the solution?

Thanks,

Alexander Peters (sorry for my bad english )

The directory and all subdirectories and files need to belong to apache, not admin.
or chmod 777 the directory and all files inside it will also accomplish the same thing although less secure.

Thanks, it works fine now. I think i didn't chowned all files/dirs before, thats why that error came up.
Thanks for help
