Brian said it was necessary. I've checked a couple of our standard installs (which don't mess with the socket) and it's owned by root:root with rwx access for ugo. > 6.

Mr Sam has pointed out that while it seems to work, you'll see error messages in your logs. > 1. The SqWebMail ran under Apache suEXEC and displayed > the login page That's good. > 2.

I only ever use the default location anyway. I don't think that the lack of suexec would cause it to fail, not unless where you pointed it at isn't readable by the sqwebmail user. > 3.

I get a complaint about invalid password and the login page again. The error you're seeing is because sqwebmail is emitting an error message without first outputting http headers. Sqwebmail usually does that when it finds something seriously wrong, like a missing file. The fact that you get a login page at all means that you have the ownership and permissions of the sqwebmail CGI correct. You could try renaming sqwebmail and writing a bit of perl in its place that outputs a content-type header and then runs sqwebmail and passes it whatever data it got. My guess is either the socket owner/permissions are wrong or it can't find or read the invalid.html template. What happens if you give a valid username and password? If it logs in successfully then the socket must be OK and it's the invalid template that's missing. If you get a 500 error then it might be the socket or another missing template. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
