First, don't worry about the double slash, it's not what is causing the
problem.
Second, what exactly have you specified in conf.pl for:
4. General Options
2. Data Directory
3. Attachment Directory
What are the permissions for the specified directories?
The error message specifically mentioned write permissions, not read,
which implies it's trying to create preferences for a new user from the
default, and can't.
Also, do you have anything specified here:
9. Database
3. DSN for Preferences
Using a DB for prefs is completely optional, so don't fret if you don't
have anything specified there. But if you DO, what are the permissions on
the Database? Does the user specified in the DSN have access to add rows
to the DB?
See here for additional information about default_prefs:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user/8849/match=schnabel+default+pref
For comparison purposes, here's what I've got:
2. Data Directory : /var/spool/php_apps/sm_data/
3. Attachment Directory : /var/spool/php_apps/sm_attach/
And those directories have the following permissions ;)
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Apr 28 19:38 var/
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Apr 10 01:13 spool/
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 9 14:51 php_apps/
drwx-wx--- 2 root apache 4096 May 2 13:26 sm_attach/
drwxr-x--- 2 apache apache 4096 May 1 08:15 sm_data/
where my webserver runs as apache.
