 |
|
Hi all;
I'm trying to get dspam-web to play nice. I've been following the howto at http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Spam_Filtering_with_DSPAM_and_Postfix#Web_Interface.3F, creating a user "filter".
Whenever I try to save the preferences, I get the "Unable to write preferences: Permission denied" error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? |

Try changing the preferences as root...sounds like you don't have permissions to write the preferences file to the disk as a normal user.
also make sure you didn't forget this line (you might need to change the owner/group)
| Code: | | chown -R filter:users ~filter/public_html/ |
chown - Change file ownership
Synopsis
chown [-R [ -H | -L | -P ]] [ -h ] owner[:group] file ...

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm using virtual users and MySql: I've emerged mod_auth_mysql and have the following in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include:
| Code: | <IfModule alias_module>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/filter/public_html/cgi-bin"
</IfModule>
# "/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
<Directory "home/filter/public_html/cgi-bin">
Options ExecCGI
AuthType Basic
AuthName "dspam"
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile /var/www/localhost/password
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>
