Installing qmt on centos 6 I have created a VM on Esxi 5.0, Installed Centos 6 usinig the 6.2 ISO Installed base server installed qmail-toaster using your script, QMT-CentOS6.sh downloaded from the mirror link in theqmailtoaster-l...@qmailtoaster.com Everything installed , no errors show, cool. I can create domains and users same as normal , I created a script to do that as we have a lot of domains and user accounts also. On testing webmail ( squirrelmail )http:\\mydomamain.com\webmail\ all i get is the forbidden You don't have permission to access/webmail/ on this server, message. Have you managed to get squirrelmail working on Centos6 ? I do see squirrelmail installed, maybe it need permissions corrected, or a sym link ? So far so good.

If this involves vpopmail, qmailadmin and/or vqadmin, we should check to see if the changes have been done yet upstream.

I'm all ears if someone would care to fill me in. The interest in CentOS 6 is presumably not that it provides new features that QMT can leverage, but that it provides updated (not to say up-to-date) versions of some other core software. For people who are running a dedicated mailserver machine, it's easy enough to accept that CentOS 5 is the right version to use to support QMT. However, some people will be running boxes that serve multiple functions - app/web servers, DNS, mail, DB, etc etc - and they may be looking to CentOS 6 as a solution to some of their other requirements, and wishing that QMT could be easily installed on it.
