RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail installation on a Client MySQL Server
Hello: Yesterday, I posted this message many people responded. I was following document http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/isp/webmail-server.htm;. When I tried to add a domain I will get an error: /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.12: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory Several people on this list responded. That made me thinking. Finally, I figured it out: During the build of vpopmail, include full path to the directory, as follows: ./configure \ (several options) --enable-incdir=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql --enable-libdir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql This did the trick. This post is for future information. Kirti

Your vpopmail is trying to use shared libraries that can't be found on the system. Search for the path of the files libmysqlclient.* (find / | grep libmysqlclient) and check if it's listed at /etc/ld.so.conf. It must be listed at your $PATH environment variable as well. You must find the file libmysqlclient.so.12. If you don't find it, you may try to create a symbolic link to other libmysqlclient.so.XX. Best regards, Eduardo M. Bragatto.

RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail installation on a Client MySQL Server
Rainer: Thank for your response. Our design is such (see my post in response to Jeremy) that we use an internal network to access the data server. At this point, I have no idea if latency is going to be a problem. I may get back to you later on. Thanks again.

The mysql-client and/or mysql-devel packages (what ever RedHat calls them) are not installed, or for some reason vpopmail can not find them. If you already have a file libmysqlclient.so.12 on the slave server, let us know and we'll look at something different, but I bet you don't... Make sure the client library and include files are installed on the slave machine. I don't do Red Hat, so I can't help with specifics. or Just install all of the mysql packages on the slave and don't sweat the extra couple of MB disk space they require. You don't have to actually start MySQL on the slave server. or If you have one box it works on, and another it does not and both are on the same version of RH, just find the files vpopmail complains about on the machine that has them, and copy them to the same directory on the other machine. There may be several files and vpopmail only reports one at a time, so you may have to run - copy - run - copy several times. Rick

Your vpopmail is trying to use shared libraries that can't be found on the system. Search for the path of the files libmysqlclient.* (find / | grep libmysqlclient) and check if it's listed at /etc/ld.so.conf. It must be listed at your $PATH environment variable as well. You must find the file libmysqlclient.so.12. If you don't find it, you may try to create a symbolic link to other libmysqlclient.so.XX. Best regards, Eduardo M. Bragatto.

I have but still i am getting error. ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.0.64' (111) So you have a basic connectivity problem: 1. Check MySQL is running on the remote server and is listening on that IP. 2. If it is, trying telnetting to port 3306 from the mail server to the MySQL server and see if you get connected. 3. Check you don't have a firewall running locally on both machines. Etc etc etc. -- Aj. Systems Administrator / Developer
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail installation
My question is how do I start up Qmail to just run the queue and not have it try and bind to port 25. I want Postfix to remain bound to port 25 and act as my SMTP server. I just need Qmail to deliver mail to the vpopmail/domains/whatever Maildir's so people can get their mail. Just don't run qmail-smtpd. I get around this just by not running tcpserver, which listens on port 25 and passes requests off to qmail-smtpd. Regards, Andrew
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail installation
tcpserver listens on whatever port it's told to listen on, not just port 25.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail installation
Hello All: I installed Qmail today with Vpopmail. The thing is I use Postfix for my SMTP server and still want to. I have Postfix configured to send mail to Qmail's sendmail program like was shown on the inter7 website. I just use transport maps instead of fallback transport. Either way, the mail comes into Postfix and I see it being sent to qmail, but never gets delivered. I checked the qmail queue directory and I found the mail sitting in the todo/ directory. My question is how do I start up Qmail to just run the queue and not have it try and bind to port 25. I want Postfix to remain bound to port 25 and act as my SMTP server. I just need Qmail to deliver mail to the vpopmail/domains/whatever Maildir's so people can get their mail. Please let me know what I need to startup Qmail do accomplish what I need. Maybe, as soon as I get used to Qmail, I may use it to do all my mail services. I have just been using Postfix for so many years that I do not want to stop using it to accept mail just yet. I love the Virtual Mail though, vpopmail is fantastic.. Thanks for you help in advance.. Frank

Run qmail, but don't start it listening on port 25. Running qmail is related to a .rc file in the /var/qmail directory, or something copied into your startup scripts to run qmail-send. Listening on port 25 is started in inetd, xinetd or tcpserver is run from your startup scripts. It depends on who's instructions you used to set up qmail, and what OS you are on. Please let me know what I need to startup Qmail do accomplish what I need. Maybe, as soon as I get used to Qmail, I may use it to do all my mail services. I bet you would save a lot of time and headaches if you just follow the instructions on one of the qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin toasters and go for a standard setup. The biggest problem I've seen with qmail, is that it goes so long between problems that you have forgotten everything you once knew about it when you need to work on it. :) Rick Who hasn't had to mess with my mail server in over 302 days.
