It looks like you moved horde to /var/ssl-www/horde/horde-webmail-1.2.4/ and not /var/ssl-www/horde/, like you intended. Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:02:45 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8576#t55747 The directory structure is correct. at the first occur of this problem i intended to move the horde to /var/ssl-www/horde/horde-webmail-1.2.4 after that the update tool changed the copy directive from Copying old configuration files... /var/ssl-www/horde_old/horde-webmail-1.2.4/kronolith/config/menu.php -> /var/ssl-www/horde/horde-webmail-1.2.4/kronolith/config/menu.php to Copying old configuration files... /var/ssl-www/horde_old/horde-webmail-1.2.4/kronolith/config/menu.php -> /var/ssl-www/horde/horde-webmail-1.2.4/horde-webmail-1.2.4/kronolith/config/menu.php one more try at /tmp/horde/ ended in /tmp/horde/horde-webmail-1.2.4/kronolith/config/menu.php i've also checked if the directories exist, but they don't.
