[SM-USERS] Error opening ../data/default_pref

[Victor Reinhart]

Hi, I installed SquirrelMail 1.4.2 on Red Hat Linux 9.0 w/uw IMAP.  IMAP works fine on Outlook Express.   When I logon, the browser reports:   Error opening ../data/default_pref Could not create initial preference file! ../datadir/ should be writable by user apache Please contact your system administrator and report this error.   What can I do?   Thank you   Victor Reinhart
