[vchkpw] Qmail, Vpopmail, Sqwebmail, Courier-IMAP and Gentoo
Hello, I am trying to setup an email system and use Sqwebmail as a web-based frontend. I am doing this on a Gentoo box. I have installed Qmail, Vpopmail and Courier-IMAP via gentoo's portage system. I have it all configured and sending/receiving email properly (from what I can tell) by following the doc at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml The doc recommends installing Horde / IMP Webmail for web-based email but I liked sqwebmail better because it directly accesses the Maildir files instead of going through POP or IMAP. So I went about trying to get sqwebmail installed (an there currently does not exist a portage package for this). I am building sqwebmail without authdeamon support because the Courier-IMAP package already installs the authdeamon with it. The package builds and installs fine. The sqwebmail service starts up and I get the login screen when I execute the CGI script through apache. I type in my login information and it appears to login successfully but gets an error when it tries to find my Maildir folders. The following is the error message I get: Unable to open the maildir for this account -- the maildir doesn't exist or has incorrect ownership or permissions. I was thinking that perhaps this is because gentoo uses the name .maildir instead of Maildir to store the mail files. I looked in the auth.c file for my error message and found the following line: if (login_maildir(getenv(MAILDIR))) error(Unable to open the maildir for this account -- the maildir doesn't exist or has incorrect ownership or permissions.); So my thought is to set the MAILDIR environment variable to match Gentoo's setup. So I put the following line in my Apache conf for this particular virtual host: SetEnv MAILDIR .maildir Despite my efforts to point it to the correct place I still get the same error message. So I am stuck. My questions are: 1) Am I even asking this question to the correct group. The sqwebmail docs said to ask any questions that relate to vpopmail to this list. 2) Is there something I am missing. I want it to login to my mailbox under vpopmail. The authentication module it is using is the authvchkpw and it seems to be at least authenticating. 3) Any suggestions? I greatly appreciate any help that I can get (or simply a pointer to the correct place to ask this). Thanks, Eric
