Agreed, I've switched the site to mod-php and it's still just sending me the file. If you would like a site for reference, one of the site's I'm having issues with is http://drinkingironchef.com/webmail
Actually after I've tried it from a work computer it was opening login page. So enabling mod_php helped!! I've clicked on your link and it shows login page. You might want to clear your browser's cache. After I enter info and hit login I get this error
strange I'm also recieving this message and it should be writable here's the ls output Code: daniel@webserver:/var/lib/squirrelmail$ ls -hal total 12K drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Feb 8 16:20 . drwxr-xr-x 48 root root 4.0K Feb 8 16:20 .. drwx-wx--- 2 root www-data 4.0K Feb 10 16:57 data
Still does the same thing. Code: Error opening ../config/default_pref Could not create initial preference file! /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/ should be writable by user www-data Please contact your system administrator and report this error. Also I'd just like to say thanks to all trying to help I appreciate it a bunch!
also the same result, somehow still not writeable by www-data, chown'd the owner to www-data group www-data also still the same result, really got me on this one! world writable and it can't write? is it possibly jailkit or something?
On my system the permissions are as follows: Code: server1:/var/lib/squirrelmail# ls -l total 4 drwx-wx--- 2 root www-data 4096 Aug 11 2010 data server1:/var/lib/squirrelmail# Does /etc/squirrelmail/default_pref exist? What are the outputs of Code: ls -la /usr/share/squirrelmail/ and Code: ls -la /etc/squirrelmail/ ?
squirrelmail/data is: (I changed it back to 731 from 777) Code: drwx-wx--x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Feb 10 16:57 data usr/share/squirrelmail: Code: total 52 drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 . drwxr-xr-x 136 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 class lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 8 16:20 config -> /etc/squirrelmail drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 functions drwxr-xr-x 29 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 help drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 images drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 include -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671 Jul 31 2010 index.php drwxr-xr-x 53 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 locale drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 plugins drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 po drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 src drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 themes /etc/squirrelmail : Code: total 80 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 8 16:20 . drwxr-xr-x 103 root root 4096 Feb 12 19:53 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1189 Feb 8 16:31 apache.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31242 Jul 31 2010 config_default.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 459 Jul 31 2010 config_local.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8400 Feb 8 16:21 config.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Feb 8 16:20 conf.pl -> /usr/sbin/squirrelmail-configure -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41 Jul 31 2010 default_pref -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6583 Jul 31 2010 filters_setup.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 478 Jul 31 2010 index.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1654 Jul 31 2010 sqspell_config.php
On my system it looks the same, so I have no idea why it's not working for you...

Yea you got me as well. It works for the primary domain so I suppose that's good enough, just figured I'd let you know. Thanks for all the help and for trying! Mabye I'll take it over to the squirrelmail guys. See if they can figure it out. Again thanks Falko, your guides rock!
