Error compiling couier IMAP with vpopmail support ?!
Dear All I've come across an error when trying to complie courier-imap-1.3.8.1 for a qmail-vpopmail setup. This may be off topic for this list as its a courier issue probably, but if anyone else has the same issues it would be good to know. My configure line is thus: --without-authuserdb --without-authpam --without-authpwd --without-authshadow --without-authldap --with-authvchkpw --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs --with-piddir=/var/run --disable-root-check And it fails at: checking for fcntl... yes checking for flock... no checking for lockf... no checking for locking method... configure: error: must specify --with-locking-method option configure: error: ./configure failed for liblock I've tried tacking on --with-locking-method=fcntl and it fails thus: checking for fcntl... yes checking for flock... no checking for lockf... no checking for locking method... configure: error: fcntl test failed. configure: error: ./configure failed for liblock Clues anyone ? Greg ps I've complied courier-imap successfully before .
Re: dbfunctions - it's over
Only for my curiosity, did you ask Ken, before writing, how could you be useful in order to extend vpopmail functionalities while remaining integrated with all the rest? Did he give you any rule to follow? tried aleast 3 times. i was never able to convince Ken to start open discussion about it. About your documentation, I visited http://members.elysium.pl/brush/vpopmail/ but I did not understand what your patches mainly do and why I should use them. Surely my poor english does not help me, but are you sure your documentation is well done and clearly understandable by other users/developers? Yes. The documentation is for c programmer. Beta testers had no problems. I do not anticipate any problems on Ken's side. Kris

I'm a c programmer, but I read this kind of documentation as a designer who has to decide whether the patches are suitable for his needs or not. The c programmer side comes later, when I want to try them. I'm going to study/install/patch nothing if I have not clearly understood what the code was designed for. And I've not understood (as end user and main designer of my systems) what your patches are going to do. I think you should add a more wide and clear presentation of your patches and their goals before the c programmer documentation. Kris Tonino

RE: dbfunctions - it's over
After examining your site. I am not understanding what your dbfunction patch does that the new development version of vpopmail does not do. Coming from a developers point of view the MySQL alias/forward that vpopmail now has in it looks to be very simple, easy to understand and easy to use (Table definition are simple and not confusing). Maybe the new vpopmail does do the same thing, however, Kris' patch did it for a long time before and many of us have applied thta patch and started to use it in large sites, as Ken had told us it was to be included! It now leaves many people with old versions of vpopmail not being able to upgrade because they have used the patch that was part of the distribution. I see no reason for taking Kris' out and writing a new one, and no such valid reason has been given to any of us.

Re: dbfunctions - it's over
vpopmail is GPL, no ? So it's possible for anyone to start an another project with the dbfunctions included from beginning and evolve to a separate product. Vpopmail is not a closed product. I have no time now to work on but perhaps in a few months, depending of our needs and the current evolution of vpopmail, this will be possible (we are starting soon a free web mail in Quebec, Canada). Is there somewehere a page with all patches and documentation related to vpopmail ? If not, I will setup one during the week.

I've added support for add/delete of aliases/forwards, functions to list all users in a domain, list all domains under vpopmail control, and a few of other functions (see the examples/example.pl in the dist..) you can download this from the CPAN: ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SS/SSCANLON/ or you can get it from my site: http://bluedot.net/projects/vpopmail.xml I'll be updating the documentation over the next couple of days...

mysql high availability
Hi guys, Is there a feature to enable failover if primary mysql does not respond and go to secondary mysql server. Is there anyway to enable multiple point of failure in any kind of setup?. Thanks Regards, Jeffrey Iskandar Ahmad System Engineer Technology Division Time dotNet bhd
Re: mysql high availability
Is the data static? If not it is probably not worth the effort as you would have to send every write to every mysql server. If it is static then sure just tell the program calling mysql to open another mysql server if the first one fails for example something like this. if (!(connection = mysql_connect (host, user, password))) then connection=mysql_connection (host2, user, password); Of Course this will require rewriting the mysql login section of vchkpw.
