Hello Folks,

I have Apache 2 working well on my Mandrake 10 server. I have the Asterisk PBX server (ver. 1.0.10) working well on this server also. I cannot figure out how to make the default vmail.cgi (web-based voicemail) script work properly. The script is installed properly in my server's default "/cgi-bin" directory and it has executable permissions. I've given access (775) to "/etc/asterisk" (so that the config files can be read). I've the necessary Apache commonhttp.conf <directory></directory> configuration for the "/etc/asterisk" directory (775). I know that my variables in the vmail.cgi perl script are all pointing to the correct locations for the "/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/" and "/etc/asterisk" directories.

The usernames and passwords that I am testing with can log into the asterisk server and retrieve voicemail using a sip (soft) phone without any difficulties. Apparently, the vmail.cgi (perl) script needs to run with perl-suid permissions, but those packages don't reside in either Mandrake or Redhat distributions . ...

Have any of you some experience with this particular problem? I sure would appreciate hearing from anyone who has forged the way before me . .. :)
