Chmod Anyone?

[llama_thumper]

i have a pre installed copy of squirrelmail (ie, it was installed before squirrelmail became standard).

my question is: does anyone know to what values to CHMOD the data and attachment directories?

any help appreciated!

[TCH-Don]

chmod -R 777 attachments data

[llama_thumper]

which makes the DATA directory available to just about everyone...

You can put the data and attachment directories in your root directory outside of public_html so that others can't get to them directly over the internet. You would need to specify this in your config options.

[llama_thumper]

this is the procedure how to do it.

first make a directory one level above your public_html directory, eg:

 

mkdir -p /home/yourwebhostingname/squirrelstuff

 

chmod 7777 it.

 

then run

perl conf.pl

select option 4

set it to:

/home/yourwebhostingname/squirrelstuff

 

hope this helps somebody.
