Error opening ../data/default_pref Default preference file not found or not readable! Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

I've already checked the FAQ, and Google.

in conf.pl I have this:

2.  Data Directory              : /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mail/data/
3.  Attachment Directory        : $data_dir

in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mail/ I have this:

postal squirrelmail #


I tried chmod 777 -R data just to (hopefully) eliminate permissions


In /data, I have this:

postal data # ls -laF
total 6
drwxrwxrwx    2 apache   apache         80 Apr 19 13:20 ./
drwxr-xr-x   16 root     root          640 Apr  7 22:03 ../
-rwxrwxrwx    1 apache   apache         82 Apr 19 13:20 default.pref*
postal data #

This is SM 1.4.2
Gentoo Linux
Apache 1.3.29
mod_PHP 4.3.6

How can I fix this? It just started.. I think this cronjob had something to do with it:
#Remove cruft from squirrelmail
#0 3 * * * find /var/www/localhost/htdocs/squirrelmail/data -type f -mtime +1 -exec rm -f {} \;


Any advice? Thanks!
