I have squirrelmail running on a couple of TCH sites and have never had to do any thing more. It's version 1.4.0 if that matters. I really think that it must be a directory location problem. Just to be clear: At the root of your ftp site there is a directory called sqmail and under that are two other directories called data and tmp? Your root dir in ftp land is different the root in php land. So the above ftp directories are found by php in /home/redonet/sqmail/data/ and /home/redonet/sqmail/tmp/ in ftp land /sqmail/data/ and /sqmail/tmp/ Hope this helps.

Yes squirrel mail is accessing the email accounts of the domain name you typed in. So if you add more users sq. mail will see them automatically... If your are getting that error it means your are getting authenticated (logged in to sq mail) but php sq can't find the data directory. I would guess that the directory does not exist or the rights are not set. Here are two possibilities: 1. The directory was created in the wrong place. Based on the dir I gave you the sqmail dir should appear in the root directory when ftp into your site. 2. The permissions: Make sure you used chmod or the cpanel to set rights right clicking in windows may not work. Also make sure that the data dir is 777 and the tmp is 777 and their parent is at a min readable by everyone.

Download and install a PHP editor. The text will then be color coded and easier to read. Here is an editor I have used in the past it was ok then should be better now: http://www.phpedit.net/ Next make a copy of config_default.php and call it config.php put it in same directory. Next you will need to edit the config.php. In the config file you will see a bunch of lines that start with //. The lines are remarks that are not part of the code and contain some directions. As far as I can tell there are only three lines you really need to change in order to get it working. Find these lines that begin in the same way and modify the part between the quotes: $domain = "your_domain_without_the_www.com"; $data_dir = "/home/your_cpanel_login_name/sqmail/data/"; $attachment_dir = "/home/your_cpanel_login_name/phpinc/mail/tmp/"; The first one is your domain name without the WWW The next two are two directories that you must create and give read and write access to. To do this use the file manager in CPanel: First create a directory called sqmail one level below the web root. Then create a data and tmp dir in the sqmail directory. Next add read and write access: Click on the tmp link and select Change Permissions on the right hand side and give everything everyone (I am not sure what the min rights are so set it like this until you can login and then retract rights until it fails). Do the same for the data dir. Also make a test user with a short password. Also you must type in the full email address when login in (you@******). And remember unix and php are for the most part case sensitive so use lower case letters when creating directories and modifying the config file. Good luck

I do have an email, it has the same login name and there is no password. It was sent on 1/30/03. I have also tried to retrieve the information by entering this login name and the email address it was sent to. It returns "Error Username does not exist". I will send the contents the email to you.

How do you register for the helpdesk? I have tried logging in using the login information for cpanel sent in welcome email. Thanks, Mike Scotto

Thank you!

Thanks. All the php stuff we need is there! In addition to the cert question if we purchase an other from you will that be a problem because we already have a cert out there? and/ or If we need to temporarily use the shared cert is it signed or will it prompt the user with a certification request. Thanks again

I would like to run phpinfo on your server to see what php modules are included. Thanks!

1. Where is a link for running phpinfo and/ or is curl installed. 2. We have a instant cert from comodo. I saw that there is a charge for having a personal cert but it was not clear whether this was a charge for the sale of a cert or just the capacity to have a cert. Thanks Mike Scotto
