Re: SV: SV: SV: VB: After upgrading to RH8 neomail wont work!

Make sure that the directory specified in the beginning of neomail.pl
is the directory in which neomail.conf resides.

According to the output of apache, the installation program has inserted
the path "/var/neomail" to your neomail.pl. Isn't neomail.conf located
in that directory?

The line to which I'm referring (line 23 in my neomail.pl) looks like this:
---cut---
push (@INC, '/var/neomail');
---cut---

What this does is it adds /var/neomail to the include-path array which
perl uses to find external modules and scripts.

With kind regards,

-- Andy

PS. Lycka till :)
