When I inquired about SM plug-ins a couple days back my hosting
provider said they won't/cant? do plugins since SM is on a central
server :-( (don't recall exact wording but that was the basic gist of
it...)
After doing some trial & error research I'm beginning to think that
the default dir for .abook on this server is not
/var/www/squirrelmail-data
Took a user w/no addressbook and put 2 entries in via SM and when I
went back and looked via SSH/server side it was still a blank file.
Where else might SM keep that info (note: I also have a ticket into
support to see if they can tell me as well...) but I don't know who
might know or who might answer first.
Regards/Thanks again.

This could be an ownership issue. You say you just changed hosts.
Perhaps
your old host ran PHP as CGI, which would mean that files created
by SM
are owned by you the user. That would enable you to edit or
replace them.
The new host may run PHP as an Apache Module, which would mean that
files created by SM are owned by the server, e.g. "nobody". You
wouldn't
have ownership rights to overwrite them as you're trying to do.
According to my hosting provider.. "PHP is run as a CGI for your
specific user." and I created a test .abook file from my admin
login for
the admin user and still don't get an .abook file (unless I use SM
to do
it 1 by 1...) Is there a work around for this? (also CGI is enabled
for
my users). I can check but I imagine the old host was the same
setup as
they use the same reseller software? Even so if I re-create a new file
shouldn't that work?
Or does it look like I have to take each account and redo all the info
via the SM interface (which doesn't support a batch add <g> can we
add a
feature request <g>)
Did you compare the ownership and flags for a file that you moved and a
file created through SquirrelMail? Are there no differences?
Also, there is a abook import/export plugin, so yes, you can do
batches on
a per user basis.
Sincerly,
Fredrik.
Issue is partly solved... Data on the old server was
/var/www/squirrelmail-data (I think this is default?) and appears to
be user level, data on new server is /var/squirrelmaill/data and
appears to be owned by apache . Once my host can either grant me
ownership, or more likely copy the files for me I think all will be
well. Had it not been for Fredik's post I wouldn't have even thought
to check the locations/ownerships etc...

Just for reference? The change in data directory is what caused the issue!
Thanks to all for help you got me on the right track! :)
