Mark I have decided to send this email to all 5 bug reports at the same time because they deal with the same topic: a rather confusing reading file and a configuration out of all logic in the courier-webadmin and sqwebmail packages, i just try to make the pull request for the changes required.. PLEASE read here:
first of all the new apache2 config file for sqwebmail causes problems with path for static files, sqwebmail expected to find css file in /sqwebmail/sqwebmail.css but i got a http 500 error cos xtrange cgi configurations automatically made by package.. those must be erased and admins must fine tune by is own hand in each case if want hide path in urls, that's could be the reason of the question in debconf about copy or symlink, although the apache script limits access the cgi can still be accessed and there is no real security here bug report #190725 : config web for courier-webadmin and sqwebmail are all wrong, packages assumes apache2 (most inefficient web server), a bad taste, bug that's not the problem: the sqwebmail case config file said "allow only local" but is nonsense because the security is configured by a build time configuration: https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/304 3 times bad made the package make this unusable by confusion bug report #190725 : in same topic: the localhost build in restriction of the courier-webadmin is another very confused setting for the admin! so we should leave this alone and provide example files as it has always been in Debian bug report #126735 and #341205 : in same topic: default installation is not explained (respect the courier documented) and there's no Debian document that points the difference.. neither a document of debian way and the differences.. same case of the #190725 about #341205 i will send that patch to upstream but a README file must sove the situation for now.. this patch is trivial and must be revised cos is old about #910527 #910529 : was merged but not property explained in NEWs or README. the current courier-base pointing about the new permissions but does not said nothing about the upgrade problem that still persist and inclusively seems is also cited in the postinst script https://salsa.debian.org/debian/courier/-/merge_requests/9 https://salsa.debian.org/debian/courier/-/merge_requests/10 Lenz McKAY Gerardo (PICCORO) http://qgqlochekone.blogspot.com
