Hi Tomas,
The server is still being located at my formal employer, XB, a business
ISP.
It has got public IP 195.18.92.120 but I know that only the most common
ports are open. Port 123 for ntp is not open. However the server has always
worked in the current setup.
I have thought what has been changed:
- I moved my domain mirkonet.nl to a different party, but I supplied them
with a complete copy of the zone file and it seems that they used this
complete copy.
- I deleted all files in /tmp
- I tried to copy all directories with winscp, but that failed and causes
the server to hang
The things above all happed within one day. I asked a colleague to reboot
the machine. After that everything came back up, except my squirrelmail.
It's a pity that it happened now, since I'm trying to setup a new server
now. Untill I will make the new one operational I wanted to use the old one
and also to be able to check the settings in the working machine. Myself and
a few others are however not able now to use the Email for a week and I
don't know anymore where to search for the problem. Like I wrote before, I
didn't change or upgrade anything.
Do you really thing the time settings will cause this problem? I tried to
set the time to different settings manually, I shifted in hours. Is there
except a date also a hardware time? I have read about that. Since I don't
have fysical access to the machine it's hard for me to try to test with
installing a webbrowser on the server itself. Are there really no other
possibilities to activate debugging, so that at least I can find the problem
cause? Are there within squirrelmail.org options to pay for active support
if I provide access to the server?
Anyway, although it's difficult now not to be able to use my mail, it's
instructive to play with it.
Many thanks for your help and time so far.

I meant links. Console based web browser with frames support.

Problem to log in with all users via squirrelmail 'ERROR, you must be
logged...'
2005-09-24 03:38
I'm running SquirrelMail version 1.2.6, with postfix and courier on a debian
machine. It always worked fine. One week ago I needed to reboot my machine
because it crashed.
After that I'm unable to log into squirrelmail anymore, I only get 'ERROR,
You must be logged in to access this page' However the sessions are being
stored in the /tmp directory.
I have got different suggestions to check this problem (thanks so far!),
unfortunately still with no luck. I'm not too well experienced in Linux and
at the moment I'm completely lost how I can solve this.
Hopefully someone has got new suggestions to check. If there is someone who
would like to help me by loging in, I would be completely grateful. In that
case I can make a test login for the machine.
I have summarized the suggestions so far
- There was a suggestion to check the directory permissions where PHP might
write session information to.
These are the dirs in the root with the permissions
lada:/# ls -la
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 1024 Sep 24 11:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 1024 Sep 24 11:39 ..

boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-idepci
Which other directories do I need to check?
- There was a suggesion to check disk-space. All filesystems are not
reaching the maximum.
- There was a suggestion to check the time and timezone. I installed
ntpdate, however my machine is hosted behind a firewall and ntp is being
blocked. However it always worked. I have corrected the time manually.
- There was a suggestion to check the cookie domain and if privacy proxy is
blocking cookies. I don't know where I need to check this and what the
correct setting needs to be.
- There was a suggestion to check more logs. However I only can find
something back of my squirrel inlog attempts in the apache access.log:
145.99.153.233 - - [24/Sep/2005:12:13:57 +0200] "GET
/src/login.php?PHPSESSID=78e44b76dfc23bbe869cedb3187452cc HTTP/1.1" 200 1518
"h
ttp://webmail.mirkonet.nl/src/redirect.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
145.99.153.233 - - [24/Sep/2005:12:14:00 +0200] "POST /src/redirect.php
HTTP/1.1" 200 965 "http://webmail.mirkonet.nl/src/login.php?
PHPSESSID=78e44b76dfc23bbe869cedb3187452cc" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
Can I activate more logs and how can I do this?
- There was a suggestion to check if mbstring.func_overload was enable in
case of use of php 4.2. I can't find that back in the php.ini file.
I will completely copy my php.ini file below. If someone has suggestions
concerning this file, I'm very happy to hear that.
This problem is too dificult for me so all your help or suggesions will be
really appreciated!
