I have installed openwebmail many times over the past four years --
mostly on Debian Linux and OpenBSD systems from source and also using
Debian packages. A few years ago I patched openwebmail to take advantage
of virtual users (separate passwd files and mail spool directories per
domain.) At that time, I was quite familiar with the openwebmail code.
So today, I attempted to install and use ports/mail/openwebmail-devel.
What should be a 30 minute job has now been almost two hours.
This was on a 5.2 box. I cvsup'd my ports. My first problem was that
installing www/p5-CGI-SpeedyCGI port requires apxs in path -- so I added
/usr/local/sbin to my path and it installed. Then I installed
openwebmail-devel.
I saw my httpd.conf was modified to add:
LoadModule speedycgi_module libexec/apache2/mod_speedycgi.so
I added the following for my apache config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@txis.net
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/openwebmail
ServerName mail.foo
Alias /openwebmail /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/openwebmail.error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/openwebmail.access_log Combined
<Location /openwebmail>
SetHandler speedycgi-script
Options ExecCGI
allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
I created an /usr/local/www/openwebmail directory and placed a single html
file to point to http://mail.foo/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl
The first time it ran, my browser said the socket unexepectedly closed.
My apache error log had:
[Mon Apr 11 22:46:06 2005] [error] mod_speedycgi failed:
mod_speedycgi2[76803]: open temp file: Permission denied
Google did not help. I had a look at openwebmail.pl. It has:
#!/usr/local/bin/speedy_suidperl -T -- -T/var/run/speedy_login
Well my apache children are running as www:www. So I made /var/run/speedy
and chowned it www:www. Then I modified that file to use -T
/var/run/speedy/speedy_login
So it got past that. My next error was about logs. It was unable to
create the log file. So I created a directory for the logs and
chowned it to www:www and edited the openwebmail.conf to use that log
directory.
Then my next error was:
'/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl' must setuid to root
I have:
ns: {180} % ls -l /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root mail 35887 Apr 11 22:46
/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl
(I changed from 4755 to 4555 to see if that mattered.)
ns: {181} % ls -l /usr/local/bin/speedy_suidperl
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 39504 Apr 11 21:30
/usr/local/bin/speedy_suidperl
Any ideas on what to do next?
Where is the documentation for quickly using openwebmail-devel port with
Apache and SpeedyCGI?
Also, please carbon-copy me on any replies.
Thank you,
