Hi We had a similar, though not exactly the same issue and got round it by putting the apache user into the asterisk group and made all the folders and files in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail group writeable. I think you'd need to change the umask on it too. This way the apache user can delete the files. However, please not that there is a trade off between security and convenience here although it isn't horrendously insecure. -- Ishfaq Malik Software Developer PackNet Ltd Office: 0161 660 3062 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
