Thread: SquirrelMail permissions issues

-

hi,

have installed 1 ubuntu 10.04 server ispconfig 3 , squirrelmail among other things. working fine squirrelmail not.

error message when try login 1 of email accounts:

error opening ../config/default_pref
not create initial preference file!
/var/lib/squirrelmail/data/ should writable user www-data
please contact system administrator , report error.
i have doublechecked permissions right. have make 'su www-data' terminal, , able access directory , create new file 'touch foo' no problem, problem not on directory permissions, should related squirrelmail configuration have not been able find yet.

appreciated.

best regards,

i found solution, although not best 1 point of view of security, did not find nothing best.

looking @ webserver logs have found problem open_basedir restriction on php, since squirrelmail tries access several files /etc , other places banned such restrictions.

ended editing squirrelmail.conf on apache configuration directory , adding line:


php_admin_value open_basedir "none"

on </directory> closing tag, , works perfectly.

regards,
