i post this thread after alot of searching in google and our forum linuxquestions.org but i didnt find a soltuion even if there are alot of the same questions,

when i try to attach a file in squirrelmail it gives me this error :
Could not move/copy file. File not attached

in my php.ini line upload_tmp_dir is uncommented and pointed to :
upload_tmp_dir = "/var/spool/squirrelmail/attach"
file_uploads = On

and the rights o n the directory are set to 755 and


drwx----w- 3 root root 4096 jan 28 18:13 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 mar 2 15:31 *
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 mar 2 15:31 .

is this problem caused by apache or compatibility between apache and squirrelmail ?
any help will be appreciated ...

I didn't have to modify php.ini to get Squirrelmail working on my system. In my squirrelmail/config/config.php I have $data_dir and $attachment_dir set. These directories look like this:
The output of your ls command is a little confusing. Are you saying that you have permissions of 702 on /var/spool/squirrelmail? Why is that? Mine is:

What/where is the file you are trying to attach, what are the permissions of this file, and which user are you trying to attach as. Is this a system user or virtual?

am trying for my users am using mail-server sendmail and squirrelmail for http

[root@mail attach]# ls -ld /var/spool/squirrelmail
drwxrwx--x 3 root root 4096 jan 28 18:13 /var/spool/squirrelmail
in my config.php i have :

$default_charset = 'iso-8859-1';
$data_dir = "/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/";
$attachment_dir = "/var/spool/squirrelmail/attach/";
$dir_hash_level = 0;
$default_left_size = '150';
$force_username_lowercase = false;
$default_use_priority = true;
$hide_sm_attributions = false;
$default_use_mdn = true;
$edit_identity = true;
$edit_name = true;
$allow_thread_sort = true;
$allow_server_sort = true;
$allow_charset_search = true;
$uid_support = true;

$plugins[0] = 'delete_move_next';
$plugins[1] = 'squirrelspell';
$plugins[2] = 'newmail';

Does the user that you web server (Apache?) is running as (on my system the user is called apache) have rights to the /var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs and /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach directories?
