Squirrelmail file attachment error

Using Ubuntu 11.04 perfect install and squirrelmail throws a

Code:

ERROR:
Could not move/copy file. File not attached 

Everything else re: emails works fine.

Anyone had similar problems?

Thanks

 

file size too big???

 

That was my first thought but the file size is only 20K.

I was thinking it has something to do with permissions. I tried chmod 777 on the attachment folder of squirrelmail but that didn't work either.

 

I just tested on my Ubuntu 10.04 ispconfig 3.046, I could attached a 2 MB pdf file and sent it out correctly.

I suggest you check the squirrelmail log at /var/log/mail.log and see what happened.

 

The mail.log doesn't say much except for connects and disconnects of pop3d
and imapd and postfix/smtpd lost connection from localhost

 

that means you should check other log files like www, suphp, suexec etc if I were you.

 

[solved]

I found this in the apache2 error logs.
