Hi... I have recently completed a very vanilla installation of the complete courier package on FreeBSD 4.3 Everything works fine except sqwebmail who always says "INVALID USER ID OR PASSWORD".

I only found one reference in the mailing list archives to this problem. The person who posted it said he later found it had something to do with executable file permissions but didn't specify what he did.

Also, Sam said in a reply to that post: 1) is authdaemon installed? In my case: no, I am using only authuserdb 2) check the syslog. In my case, nothing goes to syslog or maillog In the apache log the only addition is 192.168.0.123 - - [25/Jun/2001:10:43:20 -0300] "POST /cgi-bin/webmail HTTP/1.1" 200 1747 192.168.0.123 - - [25/Jun/2001:10:43:20 -0300] "GET /webmail/sqwebmail.css HTTP/1.1" 304 -

I'm not very sure how to read the apache log, but apparently I am sending and receiving HTTP 1.1 when I should be using 1.0 (since I use IE). On a side note, if this is wrong I don't know how I'm gonna fix it, since I already put the [BrowserMatch "MSIE" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0] directive in httpd.conf . Anyways, I tried with Netscape 6 and I get the same error.

I am using only userdb authentication. /usr/lib/courier/etc/authmodulelist has only one word: authuserdb

I copied the webmail executable to the apache cgi-bin directory. these are the file permissions: -rwxrwxrwx 1 courier courier 311796 Jun 20 17:09 webmail

The web server is an apache 1.3.19 listening on port 8080
