Install Vqadmin

Vqadmin is simply a nice web based interface that will let us manage Vpopmail. Through the interface we can create new domains, new users, net quotas, enable services and much more.

mkdir -p /var/www/mail/cgi-bin
cd /downloads/
tar zxvf vqadmin-2.3.7.tar.gz
cd /downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7

cp /downloads/vpopmail-5.4.33/config.sub /downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7

./configure --enable-cgibindir=/var/www/mail/cgi-bin -enable-htmldir=/var/www/mail/ --enable-isoqlog=y
make && make install-strip
mv /images/ /var/www/mail/
ln -s /var/www/mail/images /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/images

cd /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin
chown www-data:www-data .htaccess
chmod 644 .htaccess

Edit the file /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/.htaccess to match the following

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/.htpasswd
AuthName vQadmin
require valid-user
satisfy any

Create the password file to access this interface

htpasswd -bc /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/.htpasswd admin YOUR_WEB_PASSWORD

We 'll test this web interface later ...

Install Qmailadmin

Hello,

Take a look just above this message ... you have to put admin/YOUR_WEB_PASSWORD as credentials

For your permission problem be sure to have followed instructions on webtools.php

Thanks for your reply. Now installation is ok. But new problem is :

when i logged into the ".../vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi " it wants userid and password. I give userid 'admin' and password "which is sat at mysql for vqadmin'. It's logged in and show "Internal server error: 500".  

I see the '/var/log/apache2/mailadmin.mydomain.com-error.log"   and found

Permission denied [13] : exec of ....

Pramature end of scripts headers : vqadmin.cgi

what should I do now..?

Hello Rashed,

I think I have found by reading http://www.gnulinux.in/forum/help-vqadmin-installation

Did you run the command

cp /downloads/vpopmail-5.4.33/config.sub /downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7

?

If it's still do not work, take a look to http://www.pc-freak.net/blog/fix-checking-build-system-type-invalid-configuration-x86_64-unknown-linux-machine-x86_64-unknown-not-recognized-on-configure/

When i execute ./configure ..... command,  it shows

" /downlaods/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing : Unknown --run opiton.

Warning : missing file is too old or missing "

 

I can go to the login page of vqadmin and after giving userid and password  i set here, it shows 'Internal Server problem"

 

would u please tell me wht should i do now..?
