Webmail says "Unable to get webmail password"

Hi,

I've set up a client, set up the domain and set up an e-mail mail box. Everything seems to be working fine, but when we try to access webmail we get the following page:

Warning: fopen(/etc/psa/.webmail.shadow): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/psa-horde/horde/conf.php on line 28

and a popup box saying "Unable to get webmail password". Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Thanks for any help!
 
Make sure that the file:

/etc/psa/.webmail.shadow

has the apache ownership. Most likely apache:apache (depends on OS).
 
Solved!

Hi,

Thanks for the input . . .I discovered that the file didn't exist at all . . . created it and it seems to have fixed the problem. I really should start to take better notice of PHP errors :D

Thanks!
