Ubuntu 10.10 /webmail

[lightning200mph]

I've setup my server following the perfect server Ubuntu 10.10 guide and at the end of the 5th page it shows how to add /webmail to access the squirrel mail through the web address. The problem I'm having is that after I do those steps my browser downloads a file instead of opening the login page. If i use the ip/webmail then it will show the login screen. Is there another step I'm missing or could it be I have configured something wrong.

Did you enable PHP for your web sites in ISPConfig?

I can get the login screen to come up now, I switched from suphp to mod-php. But now I'm getting an error when trying to log in.

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

What's the output of

ls -la /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/

?

Here is the output:

total 12
drwx-wx--- 2 root     www-data 4096 2011-02-05 15:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root     root     4096 2011-02-02 16:37 ..
-rw------- 1 www-data www-data  108 2011-02-05 15:51 postmaster@"website".com.pref

Another issue that is happening is in chrome when i type in .com/webmail is will download the file of the page, but if i type out the whole /webmail/src/login.php it opens the page just fine. Now in IE just /webmail pulls up the log in page.

Try

chmod 770 /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/

I don't know what happened, but I did the chmod and that didn't help. The server was doing some weird stuff so I wiped the drive and reinstalled. Everything is working as it should now.

Thanks for all of the input and help.
