Hmmm . . . I don't have PHP installed at all on this box, and it seems
to be working. I guess, rereading my message, I really wasn't clear
what the problem was. Not enough (coffee | sleep) and too much time in
my head. Let me start over.
If I choose to install sqwebmail non-SUID root (my preferred solution),
I get the above error. If I do install it SUID root, then it works, but
under foo.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail.
What I have set up currently is this:
I have a domain, let's say foo.com. DNS points to 2 boxes, www.foo.com
and mail.foo.com, each with their own static IP. www.foo.com displays a
main webpage and users pages as it should. (Yaay - I really don't know
apache well, so this was a small triumph). I would like it if I could
go to mail.foo.com, and be presented with a login page, which I think
would mean setting up the DocumentRoot to be /path/to/sqwebmail,
although this has so far failed. I basically would like this because
there are no other virtual domains on this server, and it is serving a
fairly small user base. I suppose I could just set up index.html in the
DocumentRoot to redirect to cgi-bin/sqwebmail, but this feels clumsy.
As all the users are friends of mine, is there a way to not install
sqwebmail SUID root (they can just ask me to change their passwords,
rather than having a potential security hole) and have the DocumentRoot
work as described above?
Thanks,
Steve
