lighttpd forum migration > qmailadmin

On my way on migrating from apache 1.3 and I get everything up and 
running except for qmailadmin. This has run from cgi-bin before.

Have anyone done this before?

The file lookes like this:

-r-sr-sr-x  1 vpopmail  vchkpw  108076 Feb 14  2003 qmailadmin

Made it work by.

cgi.assign = ( "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/qmailadmin/qmailadmin" => "" )

Thanks Phil.

Hey,

I've tried to copy this example, however lighty still tries to dish me
out a BIN file instead of running it :/

Any idea's/clue's...

I'm currently having the same issue.  I tried was was posted but alas,
same issue, firefox keeps trying want to download the file instead of
lighty executing it.

I should clarify, I didn't use the code verbatim, I changed it to match 
the location of qmailadmin on my machine, which is:

cgi.assign = ( "/var/www/cgi-bin/qmailadmin" => "" )

Using Jack's cgi.assign below (with the path changed to my own cgi-bin) 
worked a charm.

One thing I had to do though, was to clear my firefox cache manually - I 
think FF kept the previous result - so instead of asking lighty to run 
the script it just accepted the previous result - which was to download 
the binary.

Looking into my cgi-bin I noticed that there is no qmailadmin directory, 
so

path/to/cgi-bin/qmailadmin/qmailadmin

as posted by Mattias needs to be changed to

path/to/cgi-bin/qmailadmin

as in Jack's post.

Using:

qmailadmin 1.2.3
vpopmail 5.4.9
lighttpd 1.4.11
debian sarge (2.6.11 kernel)
