Greetings to all,

Ok, I'm having a bit of trouble with my installation...

1. The manual section 1.3.3.3.1 says the following... "Now write an email to one of the system email addresses. Enter this in your browser, it provides the email to OTRS. http://localhost/obin/PostMasterPOP3.pl. We will later automate this."

Is http://localhost/obin/PostMasterPOP3.pl a miss print in the manual? I don't seem to have a /obin/ in my httpd.conf

2. Counting on #1 being a misprint, I'm going to http://localhost/otrs/bin/PostMasterPOP3.pl and I started getting this error...

==> /var/log/httpd/error_log <== [Sat Dec 04 14:27:41 2004] [error] 21564: ModPerl::Registry: /var/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/bin not found or unable to stat I'm not sure there it's getting this path from...

Anyone know where this path might be coming from?

That is wrong. You will never be able to access this script from the web interface. Here are the two aliases set in your config file: Alias /otrs-web/ "/opt/otrs/var/httpd/htdocs/" Alias /otrs/ "/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/" As you can see, none of them point to a level high enough that the contents of the "bin" directory would be in the apache file document root. If you want to fetch email right away, do it from the command line:

/opt/otrs/bin/PostmasterPOP3.pl

Hth, Tyler Hepworth

Are you sure? I hate to be the one that says the manual said, but ... The manual says...

[snip]

Far be it me to speak out against the manual... :-)

The manual is wrong. This is legacy stuff that is carry over from OTRS 1.0. Search 1.1, 1.2. 1.3 manuals for "obin" and you will only get that one line reference without anything else putting it in context (not to mention that it is impossible to reach "obin" according to the httpd.conf file). But, go into manual 1.0 and you will find the following: ** Quote Manual 1.0 *** Configuring Sambar We now configure our webserver Sambar. Open the file D:\Sambar\config\mappings.ini and create these entries: [aliases] /mysql = d:/mysql/Docs /phpMyAdmin = d:/mysql/phpMyAdmin [cgi-aliases] /otrs/ = /otrs/bin/cgi-bin/ /obin/ = /otrs/bin/ # Look! There used to be an alias to obin! [...] Securing /otrs/bin We *have* to secure the alias /obin/ which points to d:\otrs\bin\, holding all of the code useful for hacking the system. I personally do not want to expose these "tools" to everyone. [...] Now write an email to one of the system email addresses. Enter this in your browser, it provides the email to OTRS. http://localhost/obin/PostMasterPOP3.pl. We will later automate this. *** End Quote *** So you can see that they once had access to those tools via the alias "obin", but no longer. At any rate, why were you reading that stuff about obin - it's only found under the "Installing OTRS on Win32" section anyway? Cheers :-) Tyler
