Maybe we can spot something with a little more info. Can you give us: ls -ld /var ls -ld /var/www ls -ld /var/www/html ls -ld /var/www/html/webmail ls -Al /var/www/html/webmail ls -Al /var/www/html/webmail/config ls -Al /var/www/html/webmail/installer
? Anything in webmail/logs? Also, can you find your Apache access.log and any error.log entries for the relevant requests (when you're trying to get to the installer)? Maybe your httpd.conf or site configuration file would be helpful to look at too. Cheers, Ben. On 14/02/12 11:20 AM, Advrk Aplmrkt wrote: > Hi! > > Thanks for your tips.
