Hi All,

I just installed the 1.1 version of the SpamAssassin plugin for GMail & now I get a bunch of users with the following error

A fatal error has occured:

GT::Config (11426): Unable to load '/share/webmail/data/users/anywebcam.com/u/username/.prefs': Permission denied. at /share/webmail/cgi-bin/admin/GMail/User.pm line 81.

Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

Now if I change the permissions to 777 or delete the .prefs file it's all ok for that user again. Any idea what I can do to fix this ?

Cheers,
Ben

Somehow, your permissions on the .prefs file, since gmail knows that the prefs file exists, but can't actually read the file. Are you running incoming.pl as a different user from what your cgi's run as?

Adrian

No,

All the cgi's are running as the same user. This has only happened since I installed the spamassassin plugin & I've noticed that the .spamassassin.cf file is in some of the users folders now too and they are all owned by nobody.nobody.

Should they be owned byt the cgi user ?

Cheers,

That probably means your web server runs as nobody:nobody.

Adrian

Yeah - the webserver (Zeus) is running as nobody. Should I add the CGI owner to the nobody group ??

The best solution would be to make incoming/outgoing.pl to run as nobody.

Adrian

Ok. Got it working. I had to hack the User.pm file to make it work as it was the webmail.cgi that was throwing the error.

Here's the line it barfed on

$self->{opts} = GT::Config->load("$self->{dir}/.prefs");

So I added this before it

system("chmod 777 $self->{dir}/.prefs");

And that seems to work so far.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Ben
