[sqwebmail] how to debug sqwebmail 3.6.0 premature end of headers message?
Hi, I've been using various versions of sqwebmail+vpopmail for several years now(on AIX), but the latest version 3.6.0 is giving me some trouble: When i login it stops with internal server error, and Premature end of headers in the apache error_log, no other clue to whats wrong? It is set up to authenticate against my vpopmail server, and this works ok: - enter a wrong password, and you are not authenticated - enter the correct password, and it stops working Tracing reveals that several files are read/written during authentication, including an ip address file in the users Maildir, so rights and privileges seems ok to me... Any way to debug whats wrong with the installation? TIA best regards, Jesper James

Yes but it depends on your authentication method. I use LDAP and it will work out-of-the-box if you just have multiple values for the same attribute: e.g. mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] maildir: /path/to/Maildir since authldap will do a search for any entry with mail=(login name). I expect the same is possible with mysql etc. In fact it should work with any authentication method if you have a duplicate entry with a different login name but the same for all other parameters (password, home dir, maildir etc) Regards, Brian.

Francisco Morales writes: Somebody knows how to put Europe / Spain in the TIMEZONELIST file I try with GMT , CET but it does not work. As you ought to be able to see by looking at the timezone list that comes with sqwebmail, you specify timezones by using the conventions of the Olsen tz system (a standard part of many Unix variants these days). The reason you cannot use abbreviations like CET is that more than one country may use the same abbreviation for entirely different timezones (for example, both the US and Australia have an EST). For mainland Spain you use Europe/Madrid. However, if your server is in Spain and correctly configured to have Europe/Madrid as its timezone then the default TIMEZONELIST entry will use that anyway. It goes without saying that you should be running ntpd to ensure that your server's clock is accurate. Do a find for a directory called zoneinfo and in that you will see a file called zone.tab listing every timezone your server knows about. Or grab http://www.sktb.net/make_timezonelist.txt which is a perl script that compiles a TIMEZONELIST containing every timezone your server knows about which you can then edit to suit your needs. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

Re: [sqwebmail] Re: how to debug sqwebmail 3.6.0 premature end of headersmessage?
Hi, I have been looking through these options: The sqwebmail cgi is able to execute (show login screen, identify bad logins), can write a file in the users maildir structure, and authenticate through vpopmail. Then there is the problem of unreadable files/dirs, i can't identify what it failing trying to read/write without some way to debug it... I have also compiled the binary with static libraries to avoid linking problems... regards, Jesper James Paul L.

Jesper James Jensen writes: When i login it stops with internal server error, and Premature end of headers in the apache error_log, no other clue to whats wrong? This is a standard apache problem with any CGI which terminates with an error message before outputing the vital Content-Type header. There are several reasons why it can happen. One is that the CGI doesn't have executable permission. Another is that your apache has suexec and the executable has the wrong owner, or the directory it is in is world writeable, or the CGI is setuid or setgid (or any of the other things that upset suexec). Another is that there is some problem with your system libraries that are causing the CGI to fail prematurely. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

Re: [sqwebmail] Problem with authentication in sqwebmail
hi all, I have the info here now from my server tech guy, what happens is when trying to login from the web based part of sqwebmail, most times it will not work for me and sometimes it will, most times not. I have users emailing me and telling me they cannot get in, these are ppl that just registered for an email account from surfing my website. My hosting tech man Brian gets in no problem from work and from home. I saw links from earlier email from this list, but, want to make sure what it is i need to have Brian try to do. He has installed and set this all up for me, going well above and beyond what he is suposed to do as far as my server tech guy goes, but, i have been hosting my site with his company for over 4 years. anyway, below is a email from him with the tech stuff, i notice one with a question mark beside it. I am hunting the fix, not really knowing about this deep of technical stuff, so i can ask him to read, look, at the links, etc i find and make the changes. ok, done rattling, MANY thanks inadvance for leading me to what needs to be altered, and, many thanks to sqwebmail, i think it is great: = begin letter from host tech Brian That's weird.. I tried it again from here and on my home PC (both seperate operating systems) and I can get in ok.. we use the exact (I copied it all) same setup and configuration information for ourselves here at the office/hosting company with no problems. You're using: VPOPMail 5.2 SQWebMail 3.6.0 (With authdaemon - this is needed for vchkpw right?)

Using the logindomainlist was not an option for me, since I have 5000 virtual domains already configured with unique usernames, so having them all listed in logindomainlist was not practical and seems like a spammer's honeypot to me. Also, I needed pop to use the same authentication method, so it wasn't practical to force 5000 users to change their email configurations to include the domain in their pop configurations. What I did was to use an sql database, in my case postgresql, since we already use postgresql extensively and have a dedicated postgresql server. In order to accomplish this, I had to use a custom query. The id field contains the unique username, but the query returns a field I called 'email' which contains the [EMAIL PROTECTED] form of the email address. Using unique usernames in the id field should be enough, but the problem is if the id field only contains a username and no @domain, sqwebmail will append the server's hostname or the value of /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/hostname to the username to form the email address. I had to also define the DEFAULT_DOMAIN in authpgsqlrc, because the custom query requires that a domain name be sent to sqwebmail or it won't attempt the query. So, I just used example.com, but I never use the $(domain) variable. It is just there to make sqwebmail happy. Here is an example query...Mine does some joins with some existing customer tables, but this is enough to get it working: PGSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE SELECT email, crypt, '', uid, gid, \ home, maildir, '', name \ FROM passwd \ WHERE id = '$(local_part)' Just adjust it to your own configuration. I also compiled courier-imap with --with-authdaemonvar=/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/var/authdaemon so pop3d and sqwebmail share the same authdaemon. Now, if pop3d could use the same sqwebmail cache as well, that would be fantastic, but this doesn't seem possible, as courier-imap doesn't use a cache. One other thing I do is send a hangup signal to the authdaemon every hour to prevent the persistent db connections from timing out, as we use a stateful firewall between the webmail server and our database server. I added this line to the /etc/cron.hourly/sqwebmail-cron-cleancache script: kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/var/authdaemon/pid` It's not pretty, but it works. I hope this helps someone else. Trevor

Using the logindomainlist was not an option for me, since I have 5000 virtual domains already configured with unique usernames, so having them all listed in logindomainlist was not practical and seems like a spammer's honeypot to me. If each of those virtual domains has a unique domain name that follows a sensible pattern then the - modifier with suitable wildcards is the right way to go. On our shared servers the access to webmail for domain foo.com is through http://mail.foo.com and so an entry of *:mail.*:- in the logindomainlist does the trick. Instead of a drop-down it populates a text input field with the mail domain foo.com. No drop-down, which would be very slow and would leak information about who our clients are to all the other clients (some of our clients are business competitors of other of our clients). The idea of assigning every single user a unique username is a horrible way of doing things. You can't let each domain maintain their userlist themselves using something like qmailadmin and they have to trouble you each time they want to add a new user (if you wanted to place a limit on how many users a domain can have there are better ways of doing it). You also get the problem that users have to remember that just because they're [EMAIL PROTECTED] their POP3 username is not fred or [EMAIL PROTECTED] but instead it is waq37v. Most users pick a password they can remember but with your method every time Outlook trashes their e-mail details they're going to have to ask you for their username again because they've lost the piece of paper they wrote it down on. Last week I migrated a company from their ISP's mail system where each user had picked up mail with a username like xar28v and I thought their ISP had done it that way because the techies there did not know about sqwebmail/vpopmail/qmailadmin and had essentially put together a nasty hack around a MTA that did not directly support virtual domains. Never did I dream that they might have forced that horrible system on top of sqwebmail/vpopmail, but now I have to wonder if that's what they did. The only worse way of implementing virtual domains would be to insist that the local part of the mailbox name is unique so that if somebody grabs sales for his virtual domain then none of the other virtual domains can use it. I've seen a system set up that way too and thought the people who did it were idiots. Also, I needed pop to use the same authentication method, so it wasn't practical to force 5000 users to change their email configurations to include the domain in their pop configurations. Well, yes, it's too late now. But with a little thought beforehand you could have done it the sensible way... It's not pretty, but it works. For some value of works. Even setting up virtual domains the sensible way and then putting aliases in place to deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be less broken than all the kluges you had to put in place to get your method to work. You are understating the case when you say your solution is not pretty. Many people have put in a lot of time writing sqwebmail, vpopmail, and qmailadmin (not to mention the alternaive webmail packages, alternatve mail admin web interfaces, and alternative mail delivery packages) so that you can implement virtual domains in a sensible manner. You're proposing a system that means more work for the server admin and more problems for end-users while gaining nothing (that I can see) by doing it that way. What on earth possessed you to ignore all the support for doing virtual domains properly and come up with a horrendous bodge like that? What gives you the idea that you're doing anyone any favours by encouraging others to do the same? If I had locked myself into a setup like that through ignorance and only later learned I could have done it more sensibly and with less hassle for everyone concerned I'd be trying to conceal the fact, not offer my bad solution to other people. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
