asterisk users - Jul 2007 - Debian etch and web voice mail - how to configure it?

Hi Everyone...

I am running Asterisk 1.2.13 on Debian "Etch".  I installed it from
the
package.  I also installed the web voice mail package, which installed 
Apache2 and a bunch of other stuff.

When I point my browser at my PBX machine, the web page says "It
Works!"
but of course it does not.  It does not seem that Apache is configured to 
run the vmail.cgi script.  In the docs directory there is just the change 
log and googling it has not helped.

Can someone give me a hint as to how to configure this or else point me at 
some docs?

Thanks very much.

jim,
the asterisk gui doesn't interact with apache or apache2... it has it's 
own httpd...  perhaps you can move the vmail.cgi script to the apache2 
directory structure cgi-bin.  I haven't tried that as of yet so I don't 
know how that would work.

We're talking about
http://packages.debian.org/stable/comm/asterisk-web-vmail

( http://packages.debian.org/asterisk-web-vmail )

It actually requires httpd-cgi. Apache happens to be one of the packages
that provide that...

What web page, exactly?

That package doesn't have many files:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=asterisk-web-vmail&version=stable&arch=all

The only relevant one is:

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/asterisk/vmail.cgi

So what do you get when you try:

  http://yourhost/cgi-bin/asteriskvmail.cgi
