Hello one and all and Happy New Year.  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
