Users can‘t send email within SquirrelMail

In certain circumstances, users see a browser error or the page doesn't reload when they try to send a message via SquirrelMail.

Symptom

It varies by Web browser. Users may see a "browser error" or a failure to reload the page. Mozilla-based browsers indicate a failure to connect on port 80, while Safari simply does not reload the page.

Solution

The issue happens if the Apache environment includes definitions for SSL related settings while the server is not actually running via SSL. This can occur when the Web server is restarted via Server Admin. To resolve the issue, execute these two commands in Terminal:

 

# sudo apachectl stop
# sudo apachectl start
