login fails

[Michael Di Martino]

I have set this up according to the directions on the inter7 site,
however,
when I attempt to login in as user = admin password = adminpass it
fails.

Where can I look to find the error in the install.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A couple things to check:
make sure the web server is restarted after updating the httpd.conf file.
make sure the vqadmin.cgi program is setuid root.
make sure the web server allows setuid root programs to run.
make sure the vqadmin.passwd file is readable by the web server.
(RedHat 9's htpasswd program does not set it to be readable)

<<make sure the vqadmin.passwd file is <<readable by the web server.
<<RedHat 9's htpasswd program does not set <<it to be readable

Is that done in the apache conf file or is it just a system file permissions setting?

Thanks for the insight into this issue.

Place this in your vqadmin .htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile
/path/to/where/you/want/to/store/the/password/file/.htpasswd
AuthName vQadmin
require valid-user
satisfy any

Place this in your HTTPD.CONF file:

#vqadmin
<Directory "/path/to/your/cgi-bin/vqadmin">
deny from all
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
</Directory>

I have checked the above i believe everything is correct.
However i am now receiving the following error.

Error Syntax erorr in access lists

error occured while initiating the interface.
Please contact the administrator if this continues.
