Webmail system Eror

[byfobi]

Trying to go to webmail for first time on a fresh install I receive this error :

Webmail: UebiMiau

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

-------------

SquirrelMail version 1.4.10a

ERROR
Error opening ../data/default_pref
Default preference file not found or not readable!
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

Try this to fix the UebiMiau webmail error...

Login as 'root' on your server, and execute these commands in order:

mkdir /var/www/html/webmail/tmp/_cached_templates

chown apache:apache /var/www/html/webmail/tmp/_cached_templates/

Now try login to your webmail via UebiMiau! Does that fix the problem??

P.S. I don't know how to fix your SquirrelMail problem. Can anybody else help?

Have you check currently who is the owner of the /var/www/html/webmail/tmp folder?

you may need to run

chown apache:apache /var/www/html/webmail/tmp


instead if the owner of the tmp folder currently is not apache and your current httpd is running under the user "apache"

same for the squirrelmail, check the folder permissions inside /var/www/html/squirrelmail, check to see if apache have the appropiate permission to access the script and folder within....

Perhaps this command will help the situation. It will recursively set the file ownerships to 'apache'...

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/webmail/tmp/

If that doesn't help, then I don't know what else to tell you...

Good luck mate
