MailWatch for MailScanner 0.3 Beta Install Problems

[Steve Freegard]

Hi Gerry,

Answers to your points:

1) This is an error on my part when I did the export from CVS and created
the package - status.php should be a link to index.php.
You can create this by doing: ln -s status.php index.php from the
mailscanner directory.

2) The passwords for MySQL and the MailWatch authentication are completely
seperate.  From MySQL I suggest you try:

UPDATE users SET password=md5('<<password here>>') WHERE username='gerry';

and try again.

3) You can only select one virus scanner and you should pick the scanner you
have the most confidence in.

There isn't any benefit of trying to use more than one scanner - it's only
used for reporting, and using more than one may cause this to become
inaccurate due to some virus vendors giving the same virus different
names...

>>> Nice job!

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Steve.

Subject: MailWatch for MailScanner 0.3 Beta Install Problems

Last night I downloaded and installed the MailWatch 0.3 beta code.  I
followed the install instructions and have it running.  However, I did
run
into a few problems...

1. when I use a web browser to access https://server_name/mailscanner I
end up with a listing of the directory instead of the authentication
screen.  I need to click on status.php to get the authentication screen
and get the application running.

2. I have two users in the users table.  One is gerry and the other is
root.  I can't log into the authentication screen using gerry.  It only
works with user root.  I have edited $db_host, $db_user, etc in
MailWatch.pm for user gerry.

Also, I can successfully log directly into mysql's mailscanner database
using user gerry and his password both from the mail server or other
local
hosts.

3. I use ClamAV, F-Prot, and Trend.  Is there a way to have all stats
for
all three?  It appears that I can only use one.


Other than the above items all appears to be working great.  I get all
the
stats and graphs just fine.  Nice job!


Gerry
