Install Vqadmin

Hi there - looking for some input on this if any one has any?

Running:

/downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7# ./configure --enable-cgibindir=/var/www/mail/cgi-bin -enable-htmldir=/var/www/mail/ --enable-isoqlog=y

The following is reported.

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-htmldir

Any help appreciated.

if you receive the error:

vqadmin unable to chdir to vpopmail/domains/domain directory

when attempting to add domains etc, it is a permissions issue but not the permissions issue you will find on google. They all tell you to change permissions in /home/vpopmail.

I found the permissions issue was for the vqadmin and qmailadmin binaries in

/var/www/mail/cgi-bin

. In my infinite wisdom I ran a

chown -R www-data:www-data /varwww/mail

and this is INCORRECT!

So I ran the installs again and found the true permissions for these folders:

/var/www/mail/cgi-bin # ls -als
200 -rwsr-sr-x 1 vpopmail vchkpw   201456 Mar 26 21:14 qmailadmin
  4 drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw     4096 Mar 26 21:07 vqadmin
etc

Hello Carlo,

I had the same problem on a really old install several years ago ... and I've never found a solution ;-(

My alternative was to restart qmail twice a day by cron ;-(

I have this problem:

when I add a domain, I must restart qmail manually, otherwise the new domain is not recognized by the system, and emails sent to any user @ that domain is bounced back with the error ' Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host...'

does anybody know how to fix that?

thanks

nice guide, thanks. qmailrocks was ways too old, qmail remains a real pain, especially when building every single package manually, new distro version not compatible with libraries, etc.

btw, i made it work on slackware 13 64bit, and I've just realized that I must restart qmail ( qmailctl restart ) after I add a new domain, otherwise qmail does not recognize the new user

vuserinfo user@domain works

libtoolize --force

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 ....
Premature 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

/downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing : Unknown --run option.
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"

Could u please tell me what should i do now..?
