If this is a fresh install of slackware, can we assume slackware 14? If that’s
the case, you’re also running httpd-2.4.3, right? Best way to do it:
1. Get rid of the .htaccess file in cgi-bin/vqadmin
2. in your httpd.conf remove the directive “order deny,allow” and replace
it with “require valid-user”
3. apachectl -k restart
old way:
#httpd.conf
<Directory /srv/httpd/cgi-bin/vqadmin>
deny from all
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
</Directory>
#.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/vqadmin.passwd
AuthName vQadmin
require valid-user
satisfy any
new way
#httpd.conf
<Directory /srv/httpd/cgi-bin/vqadmin>
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthType Basic
AuthName vQadmin
<RequireAll>
Require valid-user
Require ip 192.168.0.0/24
</RequireAll>
</Directory>
Technically, you could split some of those directives into an .htaccess file,
but 1. The larger your passwd file, the bigger the performance hit 2. If you
have permission to install qmail on the box, you should prolly also have
permission to edit httpd.conf.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [vqadmin] [SPAM] vQadmin - problem
Hi,
I've a problem with login to vqadmin.
Every time I get:
-----------------------------------------------------
Authentication Failed Username unknown
vQadmin was unable to determine your username, which
means your webserver is improperly configured to run
with this CGI. For security reasons, this script
will not run without Apache htaccess lists.
------------------------------------------------
It is a fresh installation. The system is Slackware.
There is a .htaccess file and corresponding password file (made with htpasswd).
But it doesn't work. I've checked apache modules and it looked like all were
loaded.
Even tried to delete password file and the message was still the same. It had
no effect.
No errors in apache error.log
I'm stuck.
Regards
