Is FreeBSD 8.2 on amd64 platform? Are you using same SquirrelMail version as on FreeBSD 6.2? Have you checked, if you have same issue in current stable SquirrelMail version? -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-abook-files-for-squirrelmail--tp33043674p33052532.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Newer versions have fix for 64bit systems. You said that files are created in different directory. It means that crc32 result is different on new system. FreeBSD 6.2 is probably 32bit x86. crc32 result is integer value. 32bit integer size differs from 64bit integer. SquirrelMail does not scan entire hashed tree for matching user data files. It checks only root data directory and directories defined in hash. If hash gives $data_dir/a/b/c/d/ hash directories for your username, SquirrelMail won't look up in $data_dir/b/c/d/e/ Patch is in http://squirrelmail.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/squirrelmail/trunk/squirrelmail/functions/prefs.php?r1=12714&r2=13403. Although PHP manual comments have different code variation for that. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-abook-files-for-squirrelmail--tp33043674p33052688.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Ridiculously easy VDI.
