1. if you have default configuration options in conf.pl -> 4. General Options -> 1. Data directory, data directory is /usr/share/webmailtest/data this directory must be writeable by webserver's user http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/DataPermission 2. don't put custom scripts in /usr/share. This directory is used by system packages. I think any local customizations should go to /usr/local. Webserver scripts go to /var/www. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ 3. check archives. http://search.gmane.org Group names are: gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user = [EMAIL PROTECTED] gmane.mail.squirrelmail.plugins = [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
