I'm trying to get a webmail up and running, but my perl and Linux path skills aren't exactly top of the notch....

I have installed Nikosoft webmail (since it doesn't need an IMAP-server) and have set up Aliases and ScriptAlias in httpd.conf. Btw, is it possible to only have one ScriptAlias, but several Aliases?

The relevant parts in httpd.conf looks like this:

Alias /nswm "/opt/nswm/html"

<Directory "/opt/nswm/html">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /nswmtemp "/tmp/nswm"

<Directory "/tmp/nswm">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/opt/nswm/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/opt/nswm/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

When I try to access the page, I get this error:

Can't locate configwm.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/5.8.0 /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/site_perl . /opt/nswm/cgi-bin/) at common.pm line 12.

Compilation failed in require at /opt/nswm/cgi-bin/login.pl line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/nswm/cgi-bin/login.pl line 12.

Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this thing to work?

You don't need an IMAP server to get great webmail (Nikosoft Webmail doesn't look great). Neomail and Acmemail come to mind.

Sorry if I can't answer your question, but I have installed Neomail on a fair amount of servers and it worked everytime.

I use Open Webmail which says it's based on Neomail, and I like it a lot. I didn't set it up though, my web host did.

I also use OpenWebmail and love it. I installed it so if you decide to use it and need help, drop me a line.

Thanks for the offer, but I have after lots of trial and error managed to get Nikosoft Webmail up and running...

I tried OpenWebmail, but It didn\t work for me. Looks like it accesses the mailboxes directly instead of through the POP-server and uses /etc/shadow for users and my mailserver uses neither...
