Problem with vqadmin "Can not make domains directory&qu

[Anonymous]

Hi,

when I want to add a new domain I get "Can not make domains directory"

What goes wring ?

Thank you

[Anonymous]

OK, I got it. Vqadmin.cgi needed more rights (setuid bit)

[karlsen]

What settings should Vqadmin.cgi have??

What settings should Vqadmin.cgi have??

Dear, I also have the same problem on using vqadmin.
the following is the listing of vqadmin.cgi user right:

root@localhost:/var/www/cgi-bin/vqadmin# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 168 2005-06-25 12:31 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 104 2005-06-27 11:31 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody vchkpw 114 2005-06-25 10:22 .htaccess
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 1192 2005-06-25 10:22 html/
-rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 864 2005-06-25 10:22 vqadmin.acl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 vpopmail vchkpw 1035276 2005-06-25 10:22 vqadmin.cgi*


And when I using "View Domain", it will have:

List Domains: could not open assign file


What's going on?? Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.

Might I suggest you check the permissions of /home/vpopmail ? This is where the domains directory is stored. It should be owned by user vpopmail, group vchkpw
Most files should not have group permissions.

[karlsen]

root@arwen:/var/www/cgi-bin/vqadmin# ls -l
total 86
drwxrwxrwx 2 vpopmail vchkpw 1192 Jun 15 00:42 html
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vpopmail vchkpw 864 Jun 15 00:42 vqadmin.acl
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vpopmail vchkpw 81028 Jun 15 00:42 vqadmin.cgi

That did not fix the error at my place.

I have chmod 777 all the files...

Any suggestions?

Assuming you haven't solved this yet, can you do an ls -l /home/vpopmail and compare it to this please:

pegasus:~# ls -l /home/vpopmail
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 6 21:58 bin
drwxr-xr-x 4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 6 21:58 doc
drwx------ 4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 6 22:18 domains
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 6 21:58 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 6 21:58 include
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 6 21:58 lib


In particular, note the domains folder...

[karlsen]

I have not got the time to look more into the case, but a quick command gives me the same output:

root@arwen:/home/vpopmail# ls -l /home/vpopmail/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 696 Jun 26 17:49 bin
drwxr-xr-x 4 vpopmail vchkpw 96 Jun 15 00:27 doc
drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 80 Jun 26 18:01 domains
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 160 Jun 15 00:29 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 200 Jun 26 17:49 include
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 80 Jun 26 17:49 lib
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 96 Jun 26 05:37 qtrap
root@arwen:/home/vpopmail#

[EqUaTe]

ls -l /var/qmail/
ls -l /var/qmail/users

If there is no assign file in the latter, this is the problem - and means you've done something differently from the QMR instructions somewhere..

I was having similar problems.

Turned off selinux

vi /etc/selinux/config

changed this -> SELINUX=permissive

Seems to behave now.

Yes...I had the same problem...
"Can not make domains directory"

I found out that I had not disabled SElinux.
this fixed my problem!

:grin:

I have SUexec enabled on my apache (FC4) installation because I'm running some apps that require it. The only way I could get the vqadmin.cgi script to run (after following the directions to a 'T') was to chown . and vqadmin.cgi to the user matching the SuexecUserGroup for that VirtualHost otherwise I was getting a mismatch and suexec was killing the script. I was able to authenticate with the .htaccess and .passwd file, but now I have the same symptoms as everyone was showing here with SElinux enabled. I have disabled SElinux already.

Any ideas? I searched all over the place and it doesn't seem that anyone is using this with SUexec, or am I just being a dense noob? ;-)

I was having the same problem that I could not create new domains using vqadmin.
I accidently overwrote the permissions for my cgi-bin.

I found the fix for it though :)

If you still have your /downloads/qmailrocks/vqadmin-2.3.6 intact with the config still there, all you need to do is run make && make install-strip
This just sets the permissions and doesn't overwrite the .htaccess file!

If you didnt have your config settings still, you'd have to run ./configure --enable-cgibindir=/path/to/your/cgi-bin --enable-htmldir=/path/to/your/html/directory first.

Hope this helps someone!

"re-make" works for me :D
hope there won't be any more problems :?
