While I'm in the process of 'rolling-back' to my old qmail server, I have 461 items in the mail queue of what was to be the new qmailtoaster server. Is there an easy way of routing those to the old server directly? ...thus far I added all of my domains to the smtproutes with pointers to one of the IP's of the old qmt server. Was this the correct thing to do? (I don't want to lose anything that made it into the new queue).
After I've transferred the queued items, I'll be rolling back the snapshot of the new qmt server to just before I started this mess so I can try again. Thank you, Patrick Ring. -----Original Message----- From: Jake Vickers [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 2009-05-03 15:05 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Big problems after old-to-new qmt migrate Patrick Ring wrote: > Should it be able to restore a backup done from a very old version on > to a fresh loaded version? > > Depends on how old the old version is. If you look in the restore script you'll see there's some commands commented out. These were needed when I went from an old version to a newer one. The error you said you got about not being able to read a user's dir sounds like permission problems. Check to make sure 89:89 is free in your /etc/passwd, since vpopmail will want to use those UID/GIDs. If your older version did NOT user 89:89, you'll see the qmail-newu command in the resore script (commented out) as this will be needed to change the UID for vpopmail. This is mostly guessing though, without seeing the exact errors/logs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!
