Re: vqadmin problem

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 04:32:37 -0700

Hello Hari:
 
You are not bothering me.
 
I think this is what linux comunity needs: Helping each other !!
 
But I've told you everything I know about Vqadmin.
 
As I said before, I tried to install Vqadmin in red hat 7.0 and I couldn't. I've instaled only in Conectiva Linux that is a Brasilian distribution.
 
So now you can try to write to Ken Jones (inter7) to see if he can help you, sorry!
 
Thank you;
Wagner Garcia Campagner

hi Mr Wagner
 
sorry i may troubling you.
no its not working after changing  the changes you have suggest
still iam getting following error.
 
could not open lang en-us
Authentication Failed: 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.

vQadmin v1.4

Hi Hari:
 
Let's see if we can fix it now.
 
Change your .htaccess file like this:
 
 AuthType Basic
 AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf/vqadmin.passwd
 AuthName "vQadmin"
 require maintest
 satisfy any
 
 
Then type this command:
 
htpasswd -cb /usr/local/apache/conf/vqadmin.passwd maintest PASSWORD
 
PASSWORD is the password you want for the user maintest.
 
Try it !
 
Thank you;

Hi:
 
change the group of your .htaccess file.
the group must be vchkpw.

Hello Hari:
 
First:
 
You have to put the following lines in your httpd.conf file:
 
<Directory "/home/httpd/cgi-bin/vqadmin">
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order deny,allow
</Directory>  
 
Second:
 
You have to edit your vqadmin.acl file:
 
Coment all the lines and insert one line like this:
 
USERNAME  PERMISSIONS  GROUP
 
As I said in the last e-mail.
Username is the name that you put in your .htaccess file.
Permissions are all the permissions you want to give to that user such as VPCX....
And group cam be any name you want.
 
Then restart your apache service and try.
type in your browser:  http://localhost/cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi
 
I think this will work.
 
Write to report success.

Good Morning Hari:
 
Is your ACL file all right ?
 
This file must have only one line like this:
 
USERNAME    PERMISSIONS   GROUP
 
Username is the name that you put in your .htaccess file, permissions are all the permissions you want to give to that user such as VPCX.... and group cam be any name you want.
 
Check also your httpd.conf file. This file must have some lines that allow CGI scripts to run in your vqadmin directory.
 
More information you'll find in the readme file.
 
Thank you,
Wagner Garcia Campagner

You have to call the script, not the directory. Just as your httpd log suggests.
 
Access /cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi from your web browser.
