What permissions/ownership does the file have? Mine is:
# ls -l /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
-rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 43 May 16 2006 /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
Problem is, /home/vpopmail is:
# ls -ld /home/vpopmail
drwx------ 9 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jan 11 07:05 /home/vpopmail
so no one but the vpopmail user (and root of course) can get into that
directory tree.
What user does vqadmin run under? I'm guessing apache.
So, if you were to
# chmod g+x /home/vpopmail
# usermod -G vchkpw -a apache
This would allow the vchkpw group to read into the /home/vpopmail directory
tree, and give apache vchkpw group permissions.
I'm guessing that would fix it for you, but don't know if there would be any
security risks by doing so.
