It's likely your vpopmail version is newer (including the onchange
functionality to implement a skel) than the version that was used to
compile vQregister.  vpopmail 5.4 and below produce only static
libraries.  If you upgrade vpopmail, you need to recompile any programs
that you want to benefit from the upgrade.

Try recompiling vQregister and see if that fixes the problem.

RE: vQregister not same as vadduser

This is a new install of qmail; vpopmail etc.  vQregister was installed
after vpopmail; and has been recompiled a couple of times.

Other ideas?

Permissions on the onchange scripts and skel dir maybe?  Check the
Apache error log.  vpopmail outputs onchange errors to stderr.

RE: vQregister not same as vadduser

Everything under /home/vpopmail has owner.group: vpopmail.vchkpw
...as is everything under cgi-bin/vqregister and the resulting user
directory.

onchange permissions: 751
skel: 700
skel/Maildir: 700
skel/mailfilter: 600
skel/.qmail: 600

But you were right:
httpd/error_log shows "Permission denied" for vqregister.cgi

That doesn't make sense to me with the above settings.  What am I missing?

I'd need to see the actual log line to have any idea.

Is vQregister running SUID and SGID, and is Apache allowing the suExec?
 Since you know it's a permissions problem now, you should be able to
trace the path.

I'm heading out of the office now.  If you still can't figure it out,
look for a second set of eyes, or, we're on-call 24/7 at the number in
my signature.

Good luck!
