[qmailadmin] Apache Config/Install Errors
I finally found my problem, A very big thanks to all who helped me. The problem was such a dumb mistake that I regret even posting my solution. I have to explain though. I had received an email about a month ago regarding an exploit within apache through the use of mod_alias and mod_rewrite. I had disabled both those modules in my httpd.conf file whenever I read that security alert. after fighting this problem with qmail admin for quite some time I finally caught my problem. the definition of the Directory /path/to/cgi-bin was correct. it had the +ExecCGI and I also tried the ScriptAlias as suggested. about 2 screenfulls of text down in my httpd.conf I finally see a /IfModule statement. further investigation showed me that my cgi-bin directive was set inside a If mod_alias.c container. :S! that was the problem, I enabled mod_alias and tried it, sure enough it worked like a charm. I am going to move that directory statement up in my httpd.conf and disable mod_alias again. Thank you very VERY much for all your help I am soo thankful. but alas. it was user error as usual Sincerely, Adam Ossenford
[qmailadmin] Apache Config/Install Errors
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

A text file of binary garbage, I hope. If it is legible text, you need to find out where make install put the real QmailAdmin binary. If it is sending the program file as text data, check to make sure you have something like: ServerAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/cgi-bin in your Apache configuration? I may have the parm order backwards...
