What I didn't know and just found out by trying, is that I had to go and add the domains one by one in vqadmin (isn't there and easier way?), and then all the accounts poped up and worked as they should. Seems that I have a problem with the mail lists in qmailadmin, after the move, I can't add new lists and existing lists look very strange in qmailadmin when I choose "Show Subscribers", and if I click a link on that strange page I get this error: " Error. Domain was not found in the assign file " it is the same problem with list stored in mysql and non-mysql lists. any hints ? brgds /usk

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I already did search the archive, but didn't find anything that looked like a useable answer. I'll try to search on what you suggested and see if that gives a better result. thanks again Davide Giunchi sagde: > Il 14:11, mercoledì 3 dicembre 2003, Ron Verhees ha scritto: >> Sometimes answers like this are really annoying. >> Apparently you know where to find the answer but are not willing to >> give any additional information.

Install new system on other machine. Dump mysql data from machine and import to other machine, also move /home/vpopmail/domains to new machine. (remember to keep permission + ower & group) -- Eero

Probably I can answer that question http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ It's easy, search "backup qmail vpopmail tar" and you will find a lot of answer. This is a proper answer, i will not search the right email in the archive for you, it's so easy to search it yourself. Regards. -- Davide Giunchi
RE: [qmailadmin] moving qmail from one server to another
Sometimes answers like this are really annoying. Apparently you know where to find the answer but are not willing to give any additional information. For 50% of the questions asked on this mailing list the answer is out there in some way so you could get a lot of responses "sod of the answer is somewhere". What's the big issue in pointing out where the information is? Probably I can answer that question for you: sometimes an archive gets so big it is difficult to find something back that has been answered previously. So please give a proper answer if you are really interested in helping people.

[qmailadmin] moving qmail from one server to another
hi I'm moving my mailserver to a new box, and I installed qmail, vpopmail+mysql, courier-imap, vqadmin, qmail adminn (and more), everything seems to work fine, but now I have to move all domains and accounts from the old box to the new. Can't find any guide on the net on how to do this! Does anyone know of such a guide/howto page? I guess I have to do a dump of /var/qmail, but how much from the old box should I restore on the new ? just /var/qmail/domains ? and the vpopmail database data should be updaded with the data from the old box too, but what else is needed ? thanks Ulrik
