Having Exactly the Same Problem

Hello,

I have read through all of your posts and I am having exactly the same problem you did. My mail goes though but I cannot see anything when I receive it. The server is using Nobody as the user.

You said that you set up a cgi wrapper through cpanel, my hosting company also uses cpanel but I am not familiar with cgi, would you be able to give me some help on how to set it up.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Yusuf

Hi,

In the end I did not need to do this as the server was set-up to do it automatically. I think PHP was installed as a CGI. This meant I could place the script wherever I wanted.

Remember to set the permissions to 700.

Here's some info that may help. This is taken from the CPanel documentation -

"The CGI Wrap script creates a scgi-bin folder at the public_html level of your web site. This allows you to run scripts with your own user ID.

To install the Simple CGI Wrapper:

Click on the Simple CGI Wrapper link in the CGI Center area.

Your scgi-bin folder has now been set up. All cgi scripts that you would like to run under your own user ID should be placed in this folder."

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Keith

Still not working

Hi Keith,

Thanks for replying.

I got the SCGI-BIN setup thanks.

But it is still not working. I checked the phpinfo and got this

Server API Apache

SERVER_SOFTWARE
Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.2 PHP/4.3.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.8.15 OpenSSL/0.9.6b

It is not he same as yours as it does not include PHP-CGI/0.1b.

I am new to all of this so I am not sure what all of the above info means but I see that yours says Server API - CGI and mine says Server API -Apache is that a problem?

When I ran the cgi script I got a page full of text.

scgiwrap: no execute permission on cgi script/binary

HTTP_ACCEPT=image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*

Does this make any sense?

I am getting more lost by the minute...

Thanks,
Yusuf

Getting closer

Hi,

Well, some progress has been made.

I am now receiving an e-mail with an encrypted message. Problem is that I cannot decrypt it. When I try I get an error that says

The message is neither encrypted nor signed.

and when I try to import the key I get an error that says

The message does not contain any key.


Any ideas? Your help is much appreciated.

Yusuf
