Hello,
Thanks to all those who helped. I finally sorted myself out. I am one of those unlucky to have postfix already installed. I had followed the guide to remove postfix package at the wiki and create the vchkpw group. However postfix creates a user with postfix:x:89:89 as a result of this vpopmail had taken the uid 500 like vpopmail:x:500:89. Now this should work perfectly for new setups of QMT. However in my case I was bringing a backup from another QMT which expects vpopmail:x:89:89. I deleted postfix user and used usermod to change vpopmail to uid 89 but that didn't solve the problem still. So I decided to re-run cnt50-install-script.sh skipping every other package except vpopmail-toaster. I just exited the script after that and now. my old users can login I guess the moral here is to delete postfix user after you remove postfix package ALex From: Ganesh.payelkar [mailto:ganesh.payel...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 11:11 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] New Install problems Dear Alex, kindly check that you have not configure .qmail for the same user.

Is mysql running? Did you change the vpopmail password? Was this a backup from QMT and restored to QMT? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
