Squirrelmail configurations aren't saved

Hi,
I am using Squirrelmail version 1.4.9a.
When I run conf.pl to enable or disable plugins, changes don't reflect into config.php file. Because of that, I have to manually change config.php.

How can that be fixed?

Code:

/usr/share/squirrelmail/config# ls -l

total 220

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data  30482 Jun 16  2010 config_default.php

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data    473 Jun 16  2010 config_local.php

Hi,

From the ls output, looks like you have to run ./conf.pl as the www-user, because this is the only one that has write privileges on config.php. Of course you can do it as root, but it's better to use "su www-data" before running the /conf.pl script

Regards
