[horde] Permissions, etc.

[seanmh72 at gmail.com]

Hello Simon,

Ok, so I think I took a couple steps back….

Now, for some reason I am getting "Cannot write to cache directory /tmp” and I am not able to get into Horde at all…..argh!!!


As for your other questions:


I installed Horde via root and everything under /var/www/ is set to root:root, so I am not sure what I am missing on this front.


I did have Squirrelmail setup and it was working before and the basic Apache page shows, so I believe this part is working well.


I need to look at the storage part, but I did setup MySQL when I ran the webmail-setup script at the beginning.


Thanks for the help!

Sean

To do this, these config files need to be writable by whatever webserver (user) you are running.  For me, it's www-data.

However, this is also a security risk and I prefer to generate the config using the GUI and paste it in using a text editor and a sudoer.

What storage have you set up?  If it's file based then your webserver (user) will need rw permissions.  I think the default is sql, which I'd stick with unless you have a reason not to.
