"Not Found" error uppon HTTP login attemt

[KrissO_85]

When I try to access my ftp via http://domain: port I get the main page with the
logon and the pass field. I enter the correct details and click "Submit".

It redirects to http://domain: port/login.cgi and then simply shows the following message:

"Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server."

You all know this error. But why does it pop up here? FTP access works fine and Telnet accessworks fine, but aparantly not HTTP.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance

Mine does the same thing. The file isn't physically there. Shouldn't it come with the default install?

if i remember the http interface was never fully complete, even when it was in the 5.8.x branch, it was something darkone was working on, but since then.........

I have no idea what the status of the HTTP interface is... I have simply never used it. It's possible that login.cgi is a standard name like index.htm is and that it should authorize/deny the login. Presumably this would use the documented PHP ioftpd functions to access the user database... If anyone has the file speak up :)

Personally I have zero interest in working on this though if someone is interested I suggest you grab the 6.1 sourcecode I released and take a look at what's going on... At least you would know what's expected of login.cgi :)
