    Good evening,

    I have been trying to solve this question for the last several days and am looking for some assistance.

    Basically, CPanel is overwriting my squirrelmail config files. Now i have looked through the forums and tried the one most commonly referred to fix..

    That fix is to chattr +i the config.php file, which I have done, however, if I do that and the update runs at night i end of with internal server errors.

    Now I also read a README file that said about tarring files adn leaving them at different places and that the update-squirrelmail script will skip the update if it finds them, However I have no idea how to even start that fix.. some dumbed down instructions would be great.

    The only other thing I have read is to have another installation of squirrelmail on the server, However, I am not to keen on doing that.

    Can anyone give me some good detailed help on this?

    It would be apprecitated.

    Respectfully

    If it is a single file (e.g. config.php), the following is a base to start from:


    Code:
    cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php ~/squirrelmail_config.php
touch /var/cpanel/squirrelmail/install
chmod +x /var/cpanel/squirrelmail/install
vim /var/cpanel/squirrelmail/install
    Contents of /var/cpanel/squirrelmail/install
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh

cp /root/squirrelmail_config.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php
chown cpanel:cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php
    Customize the above to your particular needs.

    Can confirm this works and would like to see it made sticky.

    Applying attributes is not a very practical solution . Attributes can completely corrupt some configuration files during updates when applied . Trying to find out the reason behind automatic changes is the best thing to do .
