Hey all. 

I'm new to the list and new to Squirrel mail.

My problem:

I am in a situation where i have to use a windows server, but i need to set up webmail.  I know squirrel mail is great and i know it mainly runs on linux.  I have set it up and it runs well up to a point.  I know where the error is but i don't know how to fix it.

When a user attempts to log in they get the error

"Error opening ../data/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
../c:\inetpub\sdata/ should be writable by user httpd
Please contact your system administrator and report this error"

Now the leading ../ is the problem. And the trailing / is also the problem.  i see it in the code.  define smpath.  So my quesiton is How do i replace the ../ to make it c:\ as root without breaking the links to everything else that relies on smpath.  Also how do i remove the trailing /.

Don't hate me for asking.  I really like squirrelmail.  But am forced to be using a MS server.


Thanks Keith
