Hi Craig, I manage to get it works by manually issue the below commands:
Secondary Serv: /unison/unison -socket 1234 & Primary Server: /unison/./qmai-replicatec It works! I checked thru the logfile created by unison (unisonlog.full) i can see the process being taken place. But it just don't start it with /unison/unison start command. 2) After everything was replicated from Primary to Secondary, I can see that every folders in /vpopmail/domains/abc.com/<user's mailbox> are copied to secondary server. however, when I use webmail access to user's account on Secondary server, it don't allow me to login, it says Username or Password are wrong. So I check thru vqadmin and found that, users that are created in Primary, doesn't shown on Secondary server vqadmin. Seems like mysql database was not replicated. How to do so? Please assist. Hi Gabriel, you need to make sure that the port number you specify in the run file is the one you try and connect to. The one that is set in the qmail.prf file must match the /unison/unison -socket xxxx line in unison-run. On the primary confirm that the /root/.unison/qmail.prf file has the correct ip and socket. On the secondary, can you confirm the unison-run script matches what is on the wiki, or paste the contents here. Does the /unison/unison -socket xxxx & line have the & at the end? What happens on secondary if you manually run the above line. So at command type /unison/unison -socket xxxx & and then enter on the blank line. If that runs, do ps -ef|grep unison and you should get a line similar to root 24608 1 0 12:28 pts/1 00:00:00 /unison/unison -socket xxxx Let me know what that does, the primary error will definately be down to the socket not running. As for socket number you can use anything so long as they match and aren't on a known used socket. e.g. 6576 From: Gabriel Lai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 February 2007 05:35 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Site to Site QT Server Replication - 24 hours Hi Craig, I manage to redo the testing after so long you replied the email :) The error I got was extracted out from Primary Server, it says Contacting to server..... Error: Can't connect to server (192.168.119.133:1234) Deleting lock file I start the unison-run command with /unison/unison-run start, the next line shown me: sh-3.1# But, seems like it doesn't start the service on Secondary, that's y it cannot connect. Would u mind tell me what is the port number u use?

I set up this procedure and it works like a charm on my system, but there are minor changes needed between various OS's. I set this up on Fedora Core 5. Let me know what errors you were getting and where and I will try and help you with it. Also I changed the timing on the script to more than 1 min as after a few weeks it started causing problems on our server with the replication itself, so now it is more accurate to say the backup server is only ever 10 mins (or cronjob based) from the primary.

I tested previously, but failed at certain level. If you have tested before, maybe you can help me out with the errors Thanks ----- Original Message ---- From: Joseph Lundgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 2:41:59 AM Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Site to Site QT Server Replication - 24 hours Gabriel, Please look at http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/QMT_Failover_replication_Setup This page gives you a procedure to configure a backup qmt server that will be available for failover in the event of primary server failure. The backup server will only ever be 1 minute out from the primary. I believe that it covers what youre trying to achieve.

Jake has point me the backup & restore script guides, but that needs manual job when Mail Server 1 is down, someone have to manually restore the backup in Mail Server 2, then only can replace Mail Server 1.
