Squirrelmail login problem

[bschultz]

For the last three days, I haven't been able to login to Squirrelmail. I get a:

You must be logged in to access this page.

error.

I am able to login with Outlook without a problem. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Are there any errors in the mail log?

[bschultz]

No errors...in fact, the log says that I logged in:


May 7 08:26:33 mail imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
May 7 08:26:33 mail imapd: LOGIN, user=brian, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP
May 7 08:26:33 mail imapd: LOGOUT, user=brian, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=46, sent=336, time=0


I should add that I can't use IMAP in Outlook, just pop3.

Then your IMAP server might be misconfigured. Which IMAP server do you use? Which distribution?

I'm running the perfect setup for Etch. SMail worked fine up until late last week. I did some tweaking of the php.ini for some other things I was working on, and I wonder if I messed up the sessions for SMail.

I installed the ISPConfig package of SMail this morning, and all works fine. I'd rather fix the original install (which I compiled) since I don't want to have to use port 81 and I don't want to have to use the full email address for the login. I've checked the SMail docs about sessions and didn't find any help.

Stupid me...I put a trailing slash (/tmp/) as my session directory! That was kinda dumb! All fixed, now.

OK...now I'm confused. I haven't changed anything in the setup this afternoon, and now, I can't login to SMail anymore. Same error message. This is dumb!
