Does Squirrel-mail work with Apache 2 ?

Oh god, I hope so...

Look at the permissions for the directory all they way back to root.

[root@bellux config]# stat /home /home/public /home/public/www /home/public/www/mail /home/public/www/mail/data
File: "/home"
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

File: "/home/public"
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

File: "/home/public/www"
Access: (0777/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: (65534/ nobody) Gid: (65534/ nogroup)

File: "/home/public/www/mail"
Access: (0777/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: (65534/ nobody) Gid: (65534/ nogroup)

File: "/home/public/www/mail/data"
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: (65534/ nobody) Gid: (65534/ nogroup)

I tried changing the permissions to rwx for everybody all the way back to root and still got the same error.

Additionally, look for a the data directory in your config.php file.
This is the file that conf.pl creates.

Yes, I found this... it original was set as follows:

$data_dir = '../data/';

If I change it to reference the fully qualified path, it works. Seems like SquirrelMail doesn't know where it's start-up directory is.

This will do for the moment, but I'd still like to know why it can't find the data directory using the relative path.
