 Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 6:30 pm Post subject: SquirrelMail Keeps Disappearing [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have been having a major problem with my squirrelmail install. I have been using squirrelmail since March 2004 without problems. I've always kept up to date on the ebuilds and I am now running 1.4.4. Over the past week or so, I occasionally have been getting a 403 forbidden error when I try to access the web page. I get on the server and check the install directory and almost everything is gone from the directory. I am using the vhost flag so I use webapp-config to install into the proper host. All I have to do is run webapp-config and I'm good to go again. Next day, same problem.
Here is ls -la of squirrelmail after webapp-config install: | Code: |

Scarry. At first I thought I am being hacked but I don't see any problems in my logs.
Anybody have any ideas?

When exactly does this happen ?
After an emerge, or webapp-config ?
What's in the emerge logs?
I'd just tail one of the files you know will be gone on a different terminal, so you can get a timestamp of exactly when it happens.
Or use fam.

I found the problem. I was using glsa-check in a cron job and I was using it inappropriately. I was running | Code: |
glsa-check --fix all |
Well, it turns out this does what it is supposed to do and it emerges the latest version of packages that have security problems, including the latest version of squirrelmail. Hence, this broke my squirrelmail, until I did a webapp-config to install it into the host again. If I wasn't using the vhost use flag, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I have had this cron job going since last June.
Now I am using | Code: |
glsa-check --fix new |
This should, of course, only apply new fixes. 
Thanks for the reply.
