jdmatl Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Or is installing squirrelmail allowed? I can download the RPM file, but does tch allow a rpm install? I am not sure what all is "allowed" with the shared hosting accounts. I love horde, but my company blocks ports above 1024, so no webmail for me. Will Squirrelmail and hordmail be able to share the same mailboxes? Smail has a quick and dirty faq to get it installed with using the rpm file. thanks Quote
rayners Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 As far as I know, it is allowed. As for installing it, download the .tar.gz archive and upload it to your site. You can unpack the archive through the file manager in CPanel (or you could download and unpack the .zip archive on your own machine and upload the files yourself). After that, just follow the instructions in the INSTALL file, starting with step 3. To configure it, just copy the config/config_default.php file to config/config.php and edit that manually. Then you're off and running. Quote

I have only done a quick "glance" at the install and docs. Thanks Quote
KevinW Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 jd- I just installed Squirrel Mail on my of my TCH sites, and sent an email to one of my user accounts on my site. I was able to successfully view the email in both SquirrelMail and Horde. -kw Quote
KevinW Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 I was also able to view it using Mail2Web. Cool, 3 ways to get to my mail. -kw Quote
seancb Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 man... can someone post what i have to change in the config and such? or maybe a totalchoice-compatible config file? also, how can i run command line chmod and stuff like that, and assign access to user "nobody" etc through the cpanel? thanks so much! --sean Quote
seancb Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 ps: i'm getting Error opening ../data/default_pref Default preference file not found or not readable! and i changed data/ to 660 Quote
rayners Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 It may not be the perfect solution, but it should work. You could change data/ to 666. Quote
seancb Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 should data be inside the squirrelmail directory? Quote
rayners Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 It can be anywhere you want it to be. That's what the $data_dir variable in config/config.php is for. I think the default value is data/ in your SquirrelMail directory. Quote
seancb Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 ok i set it to 777 for now and i can get in. but i get: ERROR Unknown user or password incorrect. when using my sub accounts....? Quote
rayners Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 For any account other than your main TCH account, you'll have to login with the following format for the username: username@****** Quote
seancb Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 ok i figured out, for sub accounts you need to use the full email as the login now i need to figure out how to make it about 3 million times more secure than 777 hahah! any ideas? Quote
seancb Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 oops! looks like i was missing your messages by a matter of minutes! Thanks for the help.. if anyone has any ideas as to how i can get the user permissions set up so that the data folder is not publicly accessible, please let me know! cheers --sean Quote
