I've not used login_auth, but it could be possible that it hasn't been 'fixed' to work with the register_globals setting in your php.ini file being set to Off. If this is the case, then values it is expecting are no longer 'there', but you have to manually fetch them from specific locations. I could take a quick look at this later if you'd like. > The Administrator's window has a message at the bottom: "Config file > can't be opened. Please check config.php."

It is a permissions and ownership problem. If you're going to set the file permission to 0660 the file must be owned (group, and user) by the webserver. For example, if your apache runs as the user apached and the group as www-data, then the permissions should be something like this: -rw-rw---- 1 apached www-data 6704 Jan 13 23:44 config.php If you cannot change the ownership (speak to your system admin for assistance if you don't have the rights), then you have no choice but to set the file to be world writeable (which could *really* be bad news for you). Don't forget to read the rest of the documentation on setting the admin plugin so that only certain users can modify it. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
