I'm trying to migrate all of the domains, user accounts, and mail from
an old Sun Ultra2 running Solaris 9 with vpopmail 5.4.10 and mysql Ver.
14.7 distribution 4.1.21 to a newer server running CentOS 5 with Qmail
Toaster.
There are a couple of issues I'm running into - the current server is
setup with vpopmail install on its own set of disk arrays (/u1), and
then as that drive ran out of room, /u2 and /u3 were added, domains were
moved to those partitions and symlinks created to point to /u1
The other problem is that vpopmail is compiled with "many domains", "big
user dirs", and "learn passwords". The version of vpopmail on the new
server (5.4.17) is compiled without those features, which can easily be
resolved by recompiling, which I've done but I really want to
standardize things so that I don't have to recompile every time I want
to update.
So I'm looking for some help migrating everything to the new box. There
are a little over 300 domains, a few thousand users, and about 160GB of
mail. I tried recompiling vpopmail on the new server, editing the
database dump file before importing it (did a search for /u1 and
replaced it with /home/vpopmail), did the same for the
/var/qmail/users/assign file, ran qmail-newu and then restarted the
qmail services. I was able to get things partially working, in the sense
that running vuserinfo would give me the users associated with the
domain, and show credentials and such, but vqadmin was screwed up and
would say "no postmaster for this domain" when I tried managing things
from vqadmin, and then when you click show users, it would say domain
does not exist.
Please help!
