Thanks Mike! I suppose patching security holes is a reasonable excuse for this minor inconvenience. I'm just relieved it wasn't something I did when messing with a personal customized version of squirrelmail.

Well, I briefly dabbled with idea of trying to install the custom Squirrelmail. Still in the process of working out the bugs. However, in the meantime, I cannot get the public version of squirrelmail to work now. *****/sqmail. I am getting this error: ----------------------------------- Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/squirrelmail-1.4.3a/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mycpanelname/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown(/usr/local/squirrelmail-1.4.3a/index.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0 Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/usr/local/squirrelmail-1.4.3a/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0 ------------------------------------ I do not have any of the customized squirrelmail files or folder in my root folder at the moment. Did I delete something I shouldn't have? I was careful about only deleting the stuff I installed. -j

Doh! I get it now.....cpnlname = my cpanel name. I initially thought you literally meant use "cpnlname_sitebar". My bad.

Wooohooo! Finally got it! Turns out, the database name had to be "username_sitebar" where username is my cpanel name. Odd? Thank you all for your help. Good start to hopefully a long stay with tch!

Well, I followed your directions exactly, substituting for the dbuser and password what I set up on MySQL manager. Still get the same error. I tried all variations of the username, db name, etc. Tried it without creating a database first in MySQL Manager, with a database, with 777 permissions on the sitebar folder, on the public_html folder. Is there something simple that I'm missing? 1. Upload files to public_html/sitebar 2. Change permissions on sitebar directory to 777 (tried with 777 on public_html too) 3. Create username/password in MySQL manager (tried with db created and user associated too) 4. Go to http://mysite.com/sitebar/sitebar.php 5. Enter info: Host: localhost (also tried mysite.com) Username: cpnlname_username (also tried without the cpnlname_) Password: my chosen password (tried same info as cpanel login) Database name: sitebar 6. Click creat database and get the access denied error either: Thank you all for your help so far. I hope you aren't getting as frustrated with me as I am with this script.

That was the first thing I tried. Both without creating the database (since the install script has a 'create database' function, and with creating the database with my cpanel username and password added to the database.

Wow...thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I added a user to the database using the MySQL Account maintenance page. I just added another user (username: guest, password: guest) if you want to check it out (http://www.oxleyonline.com/sitebar/). The error message I get is: Access denied for user: 'guest@server81.totalchoicehosting.com' (Using password: YES)

I recently moved my site to tch and am starting to explore the world of scripts. To say I'm a novice would be an understatement when it comes to MySQL or PHP. The script I would like to install is a Bookmarks management script so I can access and manage my bookmarks from anywhere. Here is the site: http://www.sitebar.org/. I have unpacked and uploaded the necessary files to my account, but continue to run into the problem when installing that access is denied. I am using my root username and password. Even followed some of the recommendations on the Sitebar site and created a MySQL database with associated username/password info. Any ideas on why this script wouldn't work? Any suggestions? Thanks, j
