I've installed Squirrelmail on a Linux web server using ws_ftp from a windows machine (I don't have command line access to the server).
After a bit of tweaking (installing perl to run conf.pl, removing linefeeds from the end of config.php, adding various plugins etc) it generally works fine and allows me to access bayesian-filtered mail from anywhere, which is fantastic. (Thanks everyone!)
Thanks for doing such a good job of helping yourself get it all working.
My question is, what permissions should be used for all the files and folders? They have defaulted to 755 for the folders and 644 for the files. The docs just say "as tight as possible" but experiementing to find out will be very laborious with so many files. Note that I have followed the advice to locate the data and attachment folders outside the web tree.
755/644 is generally fine. The real answer to this question includes knowing what user/group owns the files and directories. Probably the most you'll want to do now is 750/640, especially on a shared server with any sensitive config files. But make sure your web server can access those files, which it may not be able to do in that case. There are examples of settings for attachments and data dirs on the web site that are good I think.
