Hi all,
I’m building a server to replace an existing mail server that’s being retired.
I’ve built qmail (net-qmail) following the “Life with Qmail” guide and maildir format
I’ve added vpopmail 5.4.10 with mysql - without issue, and configured domains from the command line
I’ve installed and configured vqadmin-2.3.2 and had no problems creating/removing domains from the web interface, using the cgi scripts.
I’ve now just installed and configured qmailadmin 1.2.3. All built ok, and the configure script showed the correct UID/GID for vpopmail / vchkpw. However when I try to login as postmaster for any of the domains hosted on the new machine, I get “invalid login” as though I had entered the wrong password (which I’ve not)
The apache error log is showing
vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away
or
vmysql: can't read settings from /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
Mysql is running fine, and if I connect on the command line just using mysql as the vpopmail user, all is well. If I add a user using the vpopmail binaries, all works. If I add a user/domain usering the vqadmin web admin – all is well, just qmailadmin
The permissions on my /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql looks like this
-rw-r----- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 36 2005-04-10 19:40 /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
Which looks good, and the root of the ~vpopmail is locked down tight
drwx------ 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 2005-04-10 19:45 vpopmail
The permissions on the cgi script for qmailadmin look like this
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin# ls -la
total 312
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2005-04-11 02:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2005-04-10 22:21 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 268 2005-04-10 22:07 printenv
-rwsr-sr-x 1 vpopmail vchkpw 294906 2005-04-11 02:36 qmailadmin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 757 2005-04-10 22:07 test-cgi
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 2005-04-11 02:36 vqadmin
and the permissions on the working vqadmin look like this
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin# ls -la vqadmin/
total 108
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 2005-04-11 02:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2005-04-11 02:36 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 114 2005-04-11 02:36 .htaccess
drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 2005-04-11 02:36 html
-rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 864 2005-04-11 02:36 vqadmin.acl
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 83624 2005-04-11 02:36 vqadmin.cgi
Now these permissions all look fine to me, vpopmail/mysql/vqadmin is working, so why can’t qmailadmin connect to mysql and do its thing ?
Thanks,
Matt
