Hi All: I'm still trying to get my install of courier-0.42.2 running (with mySQL auth) on RH8.

I've followed the instructions for installing webadmin, and it's in the cgi-bin/webmail/ directory. I've created the password. I've started apache and it's running. How exactly do I call webadmin?

I've tried http://localhost/cgi-bin/webmail/webadmin but I get a permissions error.

Also, I believe the original sendmail installed with RH is running. Do I need to kill it so that courier will run properly?

TIA, Andrew

Are you sure it's in the folder with correct permissions on both the executable *and* the folder? You typically have to copy the webadmin binary with "cp -p" not just "cp" to get the permissions correct -- and maybe even as root or with sudo.

If you did that properly, then check that the folder can be read by the web server userid. Did you create it from your own account or the root account? If so, check that the server account (web, httpd, www, whatever) can access the folder too.

As for sendmail... Yes, if you want Courier to handle all mail, you'll have to disable sendmail. (And probably remove it and link the old location for sendmail to Courier's replacement sendmail program, so other things can still find the new version.) -- Unless the Courier RPM does some of that for you, which I assume it doesn't since you say sendmail is still running.

HTH.
