Bug#304615: asterisk-web-vmail: vmail.cgi can't access voicemail.conf by default

[Michel Meyers]

Package: asterisk-web-vmail
Version: 1:1.0.7.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important

By default, vmail.cgi gives the following error when trying to access a
voice mailbox (after typing username and password):
--- cut ---
Software error:

Bleh, no /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf at
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/asterisk/vmail.cgi line 96.
--- cut ---

(This is: trying to use it with Apache 1.3 by just installing the
packages)

To get it to work you either need to add www-data to the asterisk group
or change the permissions of voicemail.conf like this:
chgrp www-data /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf

That way, apache can access the config file and vmail.cgi works.
