Login failed with SquirrelMail

[jgraber]

Hi,

I had followed the instructions of [1], but by the first test of squirrel webmail at the end of point 6 I cannot login to the webmail. All I get is this:

ERROR
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
13 : Permission denied

I have SquirrelMail version 1.4.6 [CVS]-0.cvs20050812.1.fc4 and use Fedora Core 4. Dovecot is up and running and I can connect with email clients like thunderbird or kmail from localhost. Do I have to edit any special config-file for SquirrelMail which is new for FC4?

Thanks for any ideas.

locate
mbox_locks = dotlock
in your
/etc/dovecot.conf
file and change it to:
mbox_locks = fcntl

Restart dovecot and you should be good to go.

Hi sameeh,

Do you have SELinux running on your system?

[sameeh]

yes i do have SE Linux running

Hello, i have moded /etc/dovecto.conf , I also have SELinux and it is still not working...
Any other help would be very apreciated,

IS SELinux your problem? To see if SE linux is enabled on your machine, su root and type: /usr/sbin/sestatus -v. To test if SE Linux is your problem you can temporarily turn it off by typing setenforce 0. Then test your mail server. (and type setenforce 1 to temporarily restore enforcing mode after you have concluded your test).
