I have a question and I will start by saying SquirrelMail is not the answer, I hate it. Anyway, I am looking for a web based email software to install on my server. I would like one that has all the bells and whistles, like calendar, multiple email accounts, ect.. I am currently running a script call easy host control panel, http://ehcp.net. ; I works get and I have everything running, but, in order to do the email, I have to use it through vhost/ehcp and not my kc8tdw.com address. I have installed the webmail, SquirrelMail, to http://kc8tdw.com/webmail, but keep getting, ERRORError opening ../data/default_pref Could not create initial preference file! /var/www/vhosts/ehcp/webmail/data/ should be writable by user www-data Please contact your system administrator and report this error. I have tried everything that I can think of, but so far no good. I have tried this once before and didn't get the greatest support on it, but this is a new version so I have asked again. I really would like to get way from SquirrelMail, so the above error is no big issue if I find what I am looking for. Thanks, Ken
