OK, so here is what I tried: [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Feb 9 19:55 /var
[root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 4096 Feb 12 20:12 /var/www [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www/html drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Feb 13 18:54 /var/www/html [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www/html/webmail/ drwxr-xr-x. 11 roundcube roundcube 4096 Jan 8 12:08 /var/www/html/webmail/ [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www/html/webmail/config drwxr-xr-x. 2 roundcube roundcube 4096 Feb 13 18:53 /var/www/html/webmail/config [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www/html/webmail/installer drwxr-xr-x. 3 roundcube roundcube 4096 Feb 13 18:53 /var/www/html/webmail/installer [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www/html/webmail/temp drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache 4096 Feb 13 18:53 /var/www/html/webmail/temp [root@scientific-vb var]# ls -ld /var/www/html/webmail/logs/ drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache 4096 Feb 13 18:53 /var/www/html/webmail/logs/ There is nothing in the webmail/logs As for Apache logs, access.log has lots of: 127.0.0.1 - - [13/Feb/2012:19:13:39 -0500] "GET /webmail/installer HTTP/1.1" 403 304 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.26) Gecko/20120201 Red Hat/3.6.26-1.el6_2 Firefox/3.6.26" I put the contents of error.log here: http://pastebin.com/h8sAuzuw Here is my httpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/U4eym6rY Honestly I don't even know how to interpret httpd.conf. Finally, I am running all this on my test Scientific Linux 6.1 (basically RHEL 6.1) server, not Ubuntu or Debian… Hope this information gives a clue about when I can't even access the installer page anymore. I really appreciate your help on this! Thanks. On 14 February 2012 02:46, Ben Schmidt <mail_ben_schm...@yahoo.com.au> wrote: > Maybe we can spot something with a little more info.
