Just run that: # cd /usr/share/squirrelmail/config # ./conf.pl You'll be given the configuration options there. You should find the configure script (which is really just a pointer to conf.pl) in the /usr/share/squirrelmail directory. The configuration script (perl) is just a menu driven system, you select the options, and change the values. > Which doesn't really indicate to me where squirrelmail was > "installed". *scratching head* I'm assuming that I can directly edit > the /etc/httpd/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf file, but wanted some sort > of confirmation about this stuff before wading in, hip-deep. I'm not entirely sure how that file plays into things, but from what I remember, that is a configuration 'add-on'. You 'include' it into your existing httpd.conf for apache, and it'll create an alias for you on your server. ie: http://localhost/webmail or http://www.mydomain.com/webmail > Is there a doc that describes how to configure the .conf file?

SquirrelMail doesn't need starting. You need to ensure Apache starts automatically as that is what serves your SquirrelMail application. You also need to make sure your IMAP server is started too. > While it is all nice and convenient that RH 8.0 does the install for > me, it seems that the doc on the website assumes I will be in > control of directories, binaries etc., and that is not the case now. Some of the docs are in need of a little updating due to a lot of the large recent changes, we've just been a little busy about getting around to it.
