WEBWH RELEASE 0.3.0, Mon Jun 11 11:27:22 CEST 2001

ABOUT

WebMH aims to be an intuitive customizable web fortend for the nmh mailer
system. In addition to nmh, webmh is closely linked to a web-server with
suexec capabilites and perl.

INSTALLATION

Note: This is only a development release and should not be used in running
environments. The package contains quite a few known bugs (and probably
more unknown bugs.) This is an open source project, if you want to participate
then email me at paal@ekran.no.

Note: Only simple crypt (old unix style) authentication is supported. 

1: Make sure you have a web-server with suexec enabled. Install the webmh
   folder in a folder readable by anyone (writable only by trusted user or
   root, owned by a specific webmh user and group.)

Here are some examples from my install:

/its/trinket/webmh/                 <- webmh-code folder
/its/apache/html/images             <- webmh-images folder (normal webspace.)
/its/trinket/u1/ekran/cgi/webmh.cgi <- user runfile. 

2: Copy the webmh.cgi to the test users' cgi folder. Make sure you get 
   owner ship and permissions right. e.g.

drwxr-xr-x    2 ekran    ekran        1024 Dec  7 07:29 cgi
-rwxr-xr-x    1 ekran    ekran         488 Dec 20 11:54 cgi/webmh.cgi

3: Make sure the web-server can read the content of the images folder.

4: Configure webmh.cgi and config.pm (webmh folder)

I promise I will make things easier in the final release.

TESTING

- tailf (tail -f) the apache error file.
- try running the webmh.cgi script as the user.
