Re: [SM-USERS] squirrelmail doesn't work after online update of suse linux 9.3

[Bernd S. <sch...@ht...>]

Hello,

we have solved the problem!
The history:
Squirrelmail was running before a suse linux online update, but not after
it.
The message of the Squirrelmail configtest after the update was:
ERROR: Data dir (/var/spool/squirrelmail/data/) does not exist!

This error message is wrong. The Data dir /var/spool/squirrelmail/data/
exists. The absolute path of the data dir is outside of the htdocs tree.
With the Data dir and the attachment dir inside of the htdocs tree
(/srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail) the Squirrelmail is running again.
It seems to be a security problem of PHP, but safe_mode is set to off
and open_basedir is not set.

Thanks for the advices.
Greetings
Bernd
