Description Matěj Cepl 2011-01-23 17:48:17 UTC
Created attachment 474846 [details]
patch to fix EL-5 branch of fedora repo

Description of problem:
When I installed dspam-web I get no working web interface at all. No wonder, as dsapm web interface seems to require (to my naive apache-newbie eye) suexec and that requires virtual server. I have reworked whole configuration and with the attached patch it seems to work much better now.

Please, review the patch whether it makes any sense to you.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dspam-3.9.0-9.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Comment 1 Matěj Cepl 2011-01-23 17:49:34 UTC
Succesful scratch build of my package is https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2737933

Comment 2 Nathanael Noblet 2011-01-26 17:29:33 UTC
I'll take a look.. I put it in /usr/share/dspam as other projects like drupal and wordpress place their files there...

Yes, however I am a complete newbie in working with apache, so I haven't managed to make SuExec working outside of VirtualServer. Of course, I would much prefer to have https://server/spam/ on the same server as main webmail.

I'll investigate it a little bit

Comment 4 Nathanael Noblet 2011-01-26 21:15:25 UTC
So I've found the issue - a build is in the works to fix it.

/etc/httpd/conf.d/dspam-web.conf needs to have  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi within the <Directory> tags. Since the file is marked as a no replace config file my update won't 'fix' your previously installed copy. However will allow it to work out of the box in the proper location.

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2011-01-26 21:16:37 UTC
dspam-3.9.0-13.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2011-01-26 21:18:56 UTC
dspam-3.9.0-13.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5.

Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2011-01-26 21:59:28 UTC
a) SuexecUserGroup context needs to be in VirtualHost, not in plain Directory.
b) such virtual server must be located under /var/www (and owned by dspam:dspam)

Which leads me to believe that (aside from /var/run/dspam/dspam.sock) the attachment 474846 [details] in comment 0 seems to me so far the best what I've seen (I am not saying flawless).

Comment 8 Matěj Cepl 2011-01-26 22:00:42 UTC
Suggesting http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/suexec.html for more information on suexec module.

Comment 9 Nathanael Noblet 2011-01-27 00:07:13 UTC
Sorry - why does it need to be SuexecUserGroup? Like I said I don't use the web front end...

Mostly because ALL HOWTOs (using system wide settings) I found on this theme say so? I am really not sure, but take a look at

http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/dspam/
the official documentation at http://dspam.expass.de/wiki/CGI_with_Apache_suexec
and others I am too lazy to google for again.

Opposite is just

http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Spam_Filtering_with_DSPAM_and_Postfix

but that uses UserDirs

I think you have reply to your question in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.dspam.user/17494 ... we should go through the list and make sure dspam out-of-the-box works like that in Fedora/EPEL.

Isn't this the problem?
