Hello, I've been trying to install (from source) the latest version of sqwebmail on my server. I have to install from source unless I want to redo that apache configurations... since apache was installed from source as well.

I got through installing the dependencies, making and installing. I also have set up the cgi-bin dir so it works properly etc.

I'm installing this on our older mail server. Debian GNU/\s 3.0+backports.org with the 2.4.2 kernel.

I followed the INSTALL instructions but I still end up getting the following error:

Internal Error

The webmail system is temporarily unavailable. An error occured in function write: Transport endpoint is not connected

I googled, and most people said they got this error if one of two things weren't correct: 1) authdaemond wasn't running because you didn't use /usr/lib/sqwebmail/libexec/sqwebmaild.rc start 2) File permissions weren't set properly.

As for #1, i did start the daemon:

r# ps aux | grep sq root 394 0.0 0.0 1656 412 ? S Aug11 0:00 /usr/sbin/courierlogger -pid=/var/run/courier/authdaemon/pid -start /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql root 395 0.0 0.0 3120 668 ? S Aug11 0:00 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql root 407 0.0 0.1 3224 1220 ? S Aug11 0:03 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql root 408 0.0 0.1 3224 1220 ? S Aug11 0:03 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql root 409 0.0 0.1 3224 1192 ? S Aug11 0:03 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql root 410 0.0 0.1 3224 1132 ? S Aug11 0:03 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql root 411 0.0 0.1 3224 1132 ? S Aug11 0:03 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.pgsql postgres 462 0.0 0.1 8800 1000 ? S Aug11 0:07 /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster

As for #2... I checked the suggested places... and did a suid for the cgi executable... but this had no effect.

Interestingly if I do a find / -name sqwebmail.sock I return nothing... one forum post said something about it so I thought this might be linked to the issue.

In any case, I'm stumped and would greatly appreciate any help!
