I've tried the first part before to make sure. There's only one installation. Be very odd if they were since this machine was installed fresh the other day.I put a direct path in just to make sure. $data_dir = '/var/www/html/data/'
Here's a directory listing for the data_dir drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 4096 Dec 21 17:01 /var/www/html/data
Here's the user and group apache is running as.
User apache Group apache
Here's the data directory listing.
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 82 Dec 21 17:01 default_pref -rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 469 Dec 23 2001 index.php
looks ok. then Chris is probably on track; you are likely accessing the wrong SM installation on your machine. try 'updatedb; locate squirrelmail' or similar. insert some code in src/login.php to see if it gets printed on the login screen, something like:
global $data_dir; echo "<hr>Hello. data dir is $data_dir<hr>";
try inserting that above the third to last line, just before this line:
echo "</body>\n".
I inserted code into the page. It comes up on the login page. Here is the result. I changed to a direct path after I sent the first message. That's why it's different.
/Hello. data dir is /var/www/html//
your data directory is /var/www/html?!?!?!?!?!?!
doesn't that scream out to you as a problem?
It actually got stripped off. It should have read. /Hello. data dir is /var/www/html/data/
stripped off during a cut n paste or is SM somehow munging it?
assuming the first, see below
btw, the whole idea of moving the data dir is to move it *outside* the htdocs tree.
if you want to see the error where it happens, look in functions/file_prefs.php, around line 193 and make these changes:
(also remember to turn up error reporting all the way in php.ini and/or watch your logs)
/* If it is not there, check the internal data directory. */ - if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]($default_pref)) { + if (!file_exists($default_pref)) { + echo "<br>$default_pref was not found!<br>switching to " + . SM_PATH . 'data/default_pref<br>'; $default_pref = SM_PATH . 'data/default_pref'; }
/* Otherwise, report an error. */
$errTitle = sprintf( _("Error opening %s"), $default_pref );
if (!is_readable($default_pref)) {
$errString = $errTitle . "<br />\n" .
_("Default preference file not found or not readable!") . "<br />\n" .
_("Please contact your system administrator and report this error.") . "<br />\n";
logout_error( $errString, $errTitle );
exit;
- } else if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]($default_pref, $filename)) {
+ } else if (!copy($default_pref, $filename)) {
+ echo "<br>$default_pref could not be copied "
+ . "to $filename per the error above<br>";
$uid = 'httpd';
if (function_exists('posix_getuid')){
$user_data = posix_getpwuid(posix_getuid());
$uid = $user_data['name'];
}
$errString = $errTitle . '<br />' .
_("Could not create initial preference file!") . "<br />\n" .
sprintf( _("%s should be writable by user %s"), $data_dir, $uid ) .
"<br />\n" . _("Please contact your system administrator and report this error.") . "<br />\n";
logout_error( $errString, $errTitle );
exit;
}
