I was looking for a webmail application. I wanted to use webmail
from locations where I can't ssh back to my box at home. I headed over to The CGI Resource Index and had a look at their collection of perl scripts.
Under Web-Based
E-Mail I found Endymion Mailman.
I followed the links, registered myself, and obtained the location of the tarball.
I downloaded the tarball to my /www/ directory (you might want to put it wherever
you store your websites). NOTE: this article assumes you have Apache installed and have
a website already configured.
I unpacked the tarball using:
# tar -zxvf mmstdod.tgz
Then I started to read mmfaq.htm (mmfaq.txt has the same information). I suggest
you do the same. I found that the default file permissions were fine. But check
yours according to the settings outlined in the FAQ, just in case.
I modified my apache configuration to allow cgi scripts to be executed from the
non-default location. So I uncommented this line from /usr/local/etc/apache/apache.conf:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
I also had to add the following to my Apache configuration file.
<Directory "/path/to/directory/ab">
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
where /path/to/directory/ab is the directory into which I installed the
tarball. |
