Hi,
I have read plenty of posts regarding this problem and I studied
http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/DataPermission and
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user/8849/

However, I still get the following error:

<<<
Error opening ../data/default_pref
Default preference file not found or not readable!
<<<

Apache runs as nobody:nobody and PHP has safe mode disabled.

SM is in /home/blah/site/webmail/ - where site/ is the DocumentRoot.

This is in config.php:
$data_dir                 = '/var/spool/webmail/data/';
$attachment_dir           = '/var/spool/webmail/attach/';

Permissions for these are the following:
drwx-wx---    2 root     nobody       2048 Aug 24 19:36 attach
drwxr-x---    2 nobody   nobody       2048 Sep  1 23:38 data

:/var/spool/webmail/data # ll
total 5
drwxr-x---    2 nobody   nobody       2048 Sep  1 23:38 .
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         2048 Aug 24 19:36 ..
- -rwxrwxrwx    1 nobody   nobody         48 Jul 27  2003 default_pref

As you can see, I don't have an user yet and therefore I can understand
that SM needs write permissions for the data dir as the webserver user,
but that's the case...

And also: I still have /home/blah/site/webmail/data/ with .htaccess,
default_pref and index.php in there. Can I delete that directory?
(Actually, I tried already and it makes no difference, it seems.)

What confuses me is that the error message still points to
"../data/default_pref" and not something like "/var/spool/..." what I
have specified. I changed the org. name just to make sure that my
config.php is not ignored completely. But it still seems strange.

Any ideas are *greatly* appreciated. What am I overlooking?

Kind regards,
Joxn
