[qmailadmin] Re: Apache Config/Install Errors
Adam Ossenford writes: Hello, This is my first post and at the cost of getting some nasty replies I have a question about the installation. I have been following the install guide from www.qmailrocks.org and have ran into a problem. qmail admin compiles and installs just fine. I have already installed and tested vqadmin but everytime I access http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin is just sends me a text file. the server was accessed 1 time before a domain and domain user was created but I cannot find the answer to my question anywhere. I am thinking apache is not rendering this file as a cgi program because it lacks an extension. I have googled for hours and tried about 50 different configs for apache and nothing seems to work. qmailadmin will only serve me a text file that looks like binary or machine language. I am very confused at this point. Please refrain from telling me how dumb this question is :), I know it's dumb but I had to ask. thank you for your help sincerely, Adam Ossenford Adam, Make sure the file is marked executable. ie. chmod +x /path_to_qmailadmin/qmailadmin -Jonathan
[qmailadmin] Re: Apache Config/Install Errors
First of all, Thank you for the quick response. I have tried many combinations of configurations. I set up mime.types with a blank extension for application/x-httpd-cgi, I have changed the servers DefaultType to be application/x-httpd-cgi instead of text. Added +ExecCGI to the directory, installed to other directories and configured correctly. but to no avail, I still only receive a binary text file of the qmailadmin cgi script. I think it has to be an apache problem. I have tried script alias, setting it's own Directory container. Using the current cgi-bin directory and still the same thing happens. for some reason apache will not serve it as a cgi script. I will keep trying but no luck yet, /cgi-bin/ .cgi files work because I have tested them. for some reason it just doesn't like me. slackware 9.1, apache 1.3.29 sincerely, Adam Ossenford

With that you can expect every program in the directory to be executed rather than sent. Several of your other choices should too. I suggest you use one of them and put another executable program in cgi-bin and see if it gets executed. That will confirm if it is an Apache problem. You do have exec permission allowed for the web user, and reload or restart Apache after all config file changes, right? Rick
