I have made the changes to my httpd.conf file: status working I have also updated my vqadmin.cgi: status working
-So, for testing purposes I copied my passwd file to the same dir as my .htacccess and updated my .htaccess file "temporarily" just for testing purposes. This is the only directory where the passwd file works. This is how I originally have the permissions set up for apache root and sub dir's: cd /usr/local chown -R root.root apache chmod 755 apache chmod -R 600 apache/* chmod -R u+X apache Sub dir. cd apache chmod -R u+x bin chgrp -R www cgi-bin chmod -R u+x,g+x cgi-bin chgrp -R www icons chmod -R g+rX icons chgrp -R www logs chmod g+wX logs chgrp -R www htdocs chmod -R g+rX htdocs I know the ansewer must be right in front of my nose; Regardless of the permissions that I have orginally configured I should be able to read any accosiated files for vqadmin if the permissions are set correctley. This is what I have now with the passwd file being in a temp location: /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/vqadmin -rw-r--r-- 1 root www 125 Mar 31 13:15 .htaccess drwxr-xr-x 2 root www 4096 Mar 30 20:56 html -rwxr-xr-- 1 root www 889 Mar 31 13:17 vqadmin.acl -rwsr-sr-x 1 root www 208224 Mar 30 20:56 vqadmin.cgi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Mar 31 13:15 vqadmin.passwd *vqadmin files need to have permissions reset- This is where the passwd file was- /usr/local/apache/conf drwx------ 7 root root 4096 Mar 31 11:45 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jan 2 19:52 .. -rw------- 1 root root 348 Apr 21 2004 access.conf -rw------- 1 root root 348 Apr 21 2004 access.conf.default -rw------- 1 root root 47017 Mar 31 11:43 httpd.conf <snip> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Mar 30 22:31 vqadmin.passwd *On another note; can any of the vqadmin scripts be modified to search on first name or last name instead of email address- If so can you point me in the right direction.
