I'm using Courier v.35.1, and I've gotten everything up and running, but when I try to use webadmin, everything works great except for when I try to actually install the new configuration. When I click on the "Install New Configuration" link, the request is submitted but it seems that it never completes, and eventually times out. Is there anyway I can figure out what it's trying to do at this point, and perhaps debug the issue? I don't see any syslog error messages showing up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check if the permissions on webadmin wrapper in the cgi-bin directory are correct. The webadmin wrapper in cgi-bin should be setuid root. For all operations except 'install new configuration' it drops root before running webadmin.pl. For 'Install New Configuration' it keeps root privileges, in order to install the new configuration, therefore if it's not installed setuid root, this operation will fail.
