expect an answer. there r some lists, such as the qmail ml, that have
people like charles cazabon that would chew off ur posterior and

(Thanks for this tip. Would he at least spits me after?) :))) btw, who
is this guy?

badger u until u leave the list. next time include automatically the
following: os, version (sqwebmail and os), environment, services
running: dns, smtpd, httpd etc. my best guess here is: check the file

Yes, I understand that I should provide some more information, but these
general information seems irrelevant for _this_ problem. This looks like
a so simple problem. In fact, to track down the problem, I just wanted
to realize which is the form template. :) Also, I do not want you to
drop me the deffinitive answer, but the possibilities instead, so I will
track down the problem. I learn more this way.
Also, I could not find much information about sqwebmail on net, or how
to debug it. Which syslog facility it uses, etc. I notice some info goes
to messages, but not shure how to improve debug level.

permissions of the templates. do get the login or nothing at all? if
nothing at all then the login.html is not coming up. check the
httpd.conf (if u r running apache) for: . SetEnv
SQWEBMAIL_TEMPLATEDIR <directory>. if u r not running apache then what
r u running? u will need to dig deeper on u own and supply the list w/
better info. hope this help

That kind of info is important and I ommited, my mistake :) . I am
running apache 1.3.27 compiled from source with fastcgi and mod_ssl on a
RH8.0 dual xeon box.
I get nothing at all when try to access the webmail. I will check those
filesystem permissions and envs on apache. I will post any trouble or
solution on list in order to be on archieves.
Thanks for the help! :)

Hello Marcio, i would also suspect fastcgi if sqwebmail is still not working. try w/o fastcgi. hope this helps, david brown.
