    My mail system on my server has never worked at all. No websites can send information to the address on a contact form, sign-up form, etc. No site. I used to be able to at least log in to squirrelmail (even though it has never worked either). Now I get a new error message. Haven't touched or changed any file or folder at all. Here is the new one:

    ERROR: Config file "config/config.php" not found. You need to configure SquirrelMail before you can use it.

    Sounds like you need to run the SM setup or?.

    Does the webmail come up?

    If this has anything to do with PHP you could be hosed.

    No, no mail works at all on the server. Period. Not squirrelmail, no contact forms from server to inbox. NO mail exchange what-so-ever.

    Not sure why this would be a php issue. I just updated it, but all of the problems were exactly the same since the install date. The mail has NEVER worked on the server. Not webmail (squirrelmail) not any form of mail has ever worked on the server.

    Thanks

    When you have an error on a Linux server, then you should take a look at the log files to find out what the reason is. So if you have a problem with email, the log files that should be checked are the mail log files.

    Thanks for the tip Till. I check all of my server log files every morning. Here is the excerpt I have posted a dozen times that has to be causing the problem and I don't know how to fix this:

    Do you have a permission problem?
    Not to sure what to say about postfix if it was sendmail you could just test with the command line. Try logging in as root.

    Hi,

    I don't want to steer you wrong here and get your system into trouble. I can only tell you what worked for me for Fedora 14 64 bit. The steps are fundamentally the same.

    I am not the least bit familiar with Ubuntu, but I did read Falko's tutorial and it is very much in line with Fedora's general steps. When I have problems that just don't seem to get repaired by file reconfiguration, etc. IF POSSIBLE, I like to do a clean uninstall, then reinstall. Here is what I saw with Ubuntu:

    aptitude install squirrelmail

    I saw the "aptitude" command numerous times for installs, leading me to understand that this is the equivalent of "yum" for Fedora. So to replicate, I had:
    # yum remove squirrelmail

    Next, I had # yum clean all

    I then went through the process of reinstalling squirrelmail fresh. After the reinstall, I logged into ISPConfig, phpMyAdmin, and did a database repair on ISPConfig db and MySql db, then I:

    Restarted httpd
    Restarted mysqld
    Restarted postfix
    Restarted amavisd
    Ran from root: # postfix flush

    This worked for me, but please proceed with caution and maybe wait until Falko or Till comment on this. Again, I am not the least bit familiar with Ubuntu...only CentOS and Fedora.

    Good luck.
