Most likley, Dada Mail does not have enough permissions to write files into the directory you supplied in the $FILES variable – (If you’re using the advanced setup, we’re also talking about the $ARCHIVES, $BACKUPS, $TEMPLATES, $TMP and $LOGS directories.) This usually occurs if the UNIX user that created the directory differs from the UNIX user that Dada Mail is running as. For example, sometimes cgi scripts, like Dada Mail are run as, “nobody”, or, “apache”, for security reasons. If this is the case, you’re going to have to change the permissions of the directories mentioned to: 777. Note that this gives everyone who has access to these directories read/write permission, so be careful when applying this chmod. If you’re uncomfortable doing this, see if you cannot run Dada Mail using a wrapper script. A wrapper script allows you to run a cgi script using a different UNIX user – usually whichever one is associated with your usual login username. A common wrapper script is one called, CG
