Re: vpopmail with PHP

2001-11-12 Thread CGI Guru

You probably already know this but php as an add-in module pays no attention
to suexec, it always operates as the user/group of the server.  You can get
around this supposedly by compiling and running php as a cgi but you also
take a pretty serious performance hit.  If I were serious about developing a
php interface to vpopmail/qmail, I'd start by running a second instance of
apache dedicated to the project with the user and group of vpopmail.  This
should alleviate your permission problems.

 Hi,

 Has anybody used the vpopmail libraries through a PHP script?

 When trying to add a domain, I get this error from PHP

 vpopmail error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/domains directory

 I changed the permission on domains (and the subdirs) to 777 but this made
 no difference.

 Does anybody know the cause of this?

 Thanks,
 Paul

Just remember if you do this to compile apache with your vpopmail
directories under your httpd suexec directory tree or you won't be able to
execute any cgi scripts for it.  this would be a killer setup for a
dedicated email server.

 Yes.  I can confirm all this.  Including that the separate instance of
 apache running as vpopmail:vchkpw works wonders as a way to interact
 with vpopmail.  I may release something after I upgrade my code to the
 new releases.  (Which I am just now starting to install to test.)

Re: VQRegister

2001-10-24 Thread CGI Guru

I'm using the older vpopmail (4.10.? I think) and it created 3 tables in
mysql -- dir_control (stores domain info), relay (appears to be pop before
smtp info), and vpopmail (all individual user info).  I must say that this
thing, along with qmadmin, vqregister and vqadmin was a real nightmare to
set up and get working properly, but it seems to work flawlessly.  Using
mysql is expecially nice with something like the mysql server admin in
webmin.  The only real snag that I see is still vqregister's failure to
recognize the existence of aliases.  Guess vqregister isn't being upgraded
anymore.

Even though I run Linux, these toaster howtos were a real lifesaver -
http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail.shtml  I believe I followed mainly
toater 1.5 with mysql.

 Well, everyone, i am making wonderful progress thanks to your help.  Here
is
 a simple question dealing with vqregister, if there is a different place
to
 post this message let me know.

 I have my website hosted on one machine and my mail server is the other
 machine.  I have the vqregister working great, but i have 2 questions.

 1.  when it sends the email out to tell someone that they successfully
 created a new account, it gives the link to go to
 www.domain.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail  but that actual location should be
 MAIL.domain.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail

 just wondering if someone could help me fix that.

 2.  in my config file i set up everything for connecting to my MySQL
server,
 but it doesn't seem to be using it at all, it says it will create the
 databases but i do not quite understand what it uses the mysql for.  thank
 you for your help.

Re: vpopmail 4.9.10 stopped -- I'm stumped

2001-09-06 Thread CGI Guru

I installed it basically like this BSD install
http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail/qmail.toaster1.5.shtml only on RH
Linux 7.1 with TWIG -- so no rpm.

I'm going to try adding some users and see if they'll work and maybe a
domain or two.  I may try upgrading to the new release if that fails.

What's the gid uid columns in the mysql vpopmail db for?  Mine are all set
to 0.  Tried setting them to the gid and uid of vpopmail and vchkpw but then
couldn't even imap or pop into an account.

Thanks

 Are you using Bruce Guntner (?)'s qmail rpm's?  I remember there was a
cron
 job or something like that that would clober one of the files needed by
 vpopmail.  I dunno, I'm trying to remeber the exact issue and it was about
a
 year ago now...

 Doubt that helps any...

 Check the permissions, everything under vpopmail's home dir
 should be owned by vpopmail/vchkpw.

 Check if you can add and delete new users, and send them email

Re: vpopmail 4.9.10 stopped -- I'm stumped

2001-09-06 Thread CGI Guru

Here's the final word on the extent of my predicament.  If I send mail to a
domain and user that was setup before my crash, I get the mail bounced back
saying no user.  I added a new domain and a couple of users to it and it
works fine on the new one.  So, somethings corrupted or out of wack on the
old domains.  Guess I can delete them all and setup all the accounts
again -- what a pain.  In reviewing all the files I can find, the mysql db,
and all the files in the individual virtual domains, I see no difference in
them at all.  Any thoughts where the snag might be?  Should I upgrade to the
new version while I'm at it?

Thanks

vqadmin vpopmail archives

2001-08-23 Thread CGI Guru




Is this the correct list for vqadmin or is there 
another?

Also, where are the archives for both of these? Want to 
search these before posting stupid questions.

vpopmail and qmadmin with courier-imap working great but can't 
get vqadmin running. Acts like it doesn't know where to find interface 
templates.

Thanks.
