Hello!

I have just installed SquirrelMail in my website. The squirrelmail login page is working fine but when I log in, the error message below will appear even I have already changed mode/changed permission the file to 777 and the data directory.

"Error opening ../data/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
/var/local/squirrelmail/data/ should be writable by user oicsforg
Please contact your system administrator and report this error."

Any help is very much appreciated!

what you mean by "installed"...
webmail will be available when you create new email account.
And visit it directly with yourdomain.com/webmail

You won't have access to write stuff to /var/local as that filesystem will be locked down.

If you've installed SquirrelMail manually, then you'll need to make sure that any data directories it expects to use are under your own home directory...
