Re: moving domains ???????
Hi all, I have this strange problem that has suddenly occurred recently. I keep getting the following error when running vadddomain: sh-2.05# vadddomain test14.com Unknown parameter: Please enter password for postmaster: enter password again: Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/domains directory sh-2.05# On all other boxes, that command runs fine. And I've already checked the permissions on ALL the directories leading up to the one in ~vpopmail. I also checked the permissions of ~vpopmail/domains, and it is the same as everything else. The strange thing is that it DOES create the directory: drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 25 00:45 test14.com however, inside that directory only the following exists: total 12 drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 25 00:45 . drwx-- 23 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 25 00:45 .. -rw--- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 58 May 25 00:45 .qmail-default and nothing else. No vpasswd or vpasswd.cdb or anything else. Anyone know whats going on?

Re: moving domains ???????
Hi,
Okay... i ran strace vadddomain test39.com
a bunch of output. I gather that strace basically traces what the program
is doing (just looking from the output).
So anyway, it stopped at asking for the postmaster password. I assume you
don't actually want that bit, so I just typed in the password, and it
asked me to type in again, i did, and then another bunch of output came
out. I ran this command on 2 different boxes. One box (the one with the
problem) and one WITHOUT the problem, to compare the output and see what
the difference was.
I'll mainly only show the differences... maybe you have the knowledge to
work out what is wrong. Both boxes have nearly identical structures. On
the working box, /var points to /mnt/large/var , while on the broken box,
/var points to /mnt/mid/var , in case you wonder why the two are different
(large, mid, small, etc. are just hard disk mount points) (btw. * is

getcwd(/root, 300)= 6

RE: moving domains ???????
Now the question is... where the HECK is vpopmail getting the idea that /root is where vpopmail is? On both the working and broken boxes, the passwd entry is: vpopmail:x:64020:64020:Vpopmail user,,,:/var/lib/vpopmail:/bin/bash which is correct. What did the broken box say when you did ./configure? Are both boxes running the same operating system?
Re: moving domains ???????

Grab vpopmail 4.9.10 from http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/, extract it, run ./configure and see what it prints.

RE: vuserinfo on different box to main vpopmail install, shared filer
Type strace before vuserinfo (strace vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and it should show you the last failure before it dies, including paths etc. The problem: I can't get the linux box's vuserinfo to work. It just reports no such user. The user and group IDs for qmail and vpopmail are the same on all the boxes, all the /home/vpopmail/domains directories point to the same place, and file ownership has been set to vpopmail - vchkpw throughout. Can anyone tell me where, exactly, does vuserinfo read it's information from, and what does it need to be able to see/access to be able to work? All advice appreciated!

HI,
If at all possible I'd rather avoid recompiling my own version, and use

) = 53
---
As you can see, it is looking at /var/qmail/users/cdb, BUT with the broken
box, it doesn't seem to find anything, and just looks at /vpasswd.cdb .
Obviously it should be in
/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test41.com/vpasswd.cdb, which the Working box
has found.
Now my question is... is it possible to REGENERATE the
/var/qmail/users/cdb file? Maybe the problem lies there? From my
understanding, the cdb file contains the information on where each
domain's files are, and since the Broken box can't find it, it assumes its
in / .
Is this thinking right? Can the cdb file even BE regenerated?
Sincerely,
Jason

Sincerely, Jason - Original Message - From: Chris Bolt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 11:01 PM Subject: RE: moving domains ??? As you can see, it is looking at /var/qmail/users/cdb, BUT with the broken box, it doesn't seem to find anything, and just looks at /vpasswd.cdb . The broken box can find /var/qmail/users/cdb Obviously it should be in /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test41.com/vpasswd.cdb, which the Working box has found. Now my question is... is it possible to REGENERATE the /var/qmail/users/cdb file? Maybe the problem lies there? /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu does this From my understanding, the cdb file contains the information on where each domain's files are, and since the Broken box can't find it, it assumes its in / . Is this thinking right? Can the cdb file even BE regenerated? - Remove /var/qmail/users/assign and cdb - Remove all test domains from: /var/lib/vpopmail/domains /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains And try again. Are you absolutely sure that vpopmail:x:64020:64020:Vpopmail user,,,:/var/lib/vpopmail:/bin/bash is EXACTLY the same on both boxes? 64020 sounds like too large of a uid to me.
Re: moving domains ??????? ***SOLVED and CLOSED***
SOLVED and CLOSED. The problem WAS... (and you won't believe this)... in Debian, /var/qmail/* is basically just symlinks to various places: sh-2.05# cd /var/qmail/ sh-2.05# ls -al total 8 drwxr-xr-x2 root qmail4096 Jan 16 00:04 . drwxr-x--x 17 root root 4096 Aug 3 2000 .. lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Jan 16 00:04 alias - /var/lib/qmail/alias lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Jan 16 00:04 bin - /usr/sbin lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 34 Jan 16 00:04 boot - /usr/share/doc/qmail/examples/boot lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 10 Jan 16 00:04 control - /etc/qmail lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Jan 16 00:04 doc - /usr/share/doc/qmail lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 16 Jan 16 00:04 queue - /var/spool/qmail lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 16 Jan 16 00:04 users - /etc/qmail/users What happened on the Broken box was that /var/qmail/bin was JUST /var/qmail/bin/, an empty directory, and NOT a symlink to /usr/sbin as it should be. Why on EARTH strace would show the error to be with the cdb file, and why on HECK the error message said it couldn't get into the vpopmail/domain directory, I will never know. If the stupid error messages were a tad more intuitive I... and everyone that has been helping to trace down this error, wouldn't have had to spend so much wasted time on this. To Chris Bolt and Raghu V Singh: thanks for helping out guys. Well, what I can say out of all this is that I learnt quite a bit about strace, and the finer workings of qmail.

Checking on the actual mailservers there is indeed a cdb file in qmail's
~/users directory, however it doesn't exist on the Linux box, even
though both qmail and vpopmail are running.
You need a coopy of the /var/qmail/users/cdb file from the mail server
on the linux box. It uses that file to figure out which directory to
look in for the vpasswd.cdb file. If it can't find the users/cdb file,
it uses garbage for the path to the vpasswd.cdb file rather than failing

vPopmail compile issues? seg faults every program!
I can compile fine but any of the apps have seg faults. This is on a machine that I lost and had to restore from a flawed packup. Fresh install of qmail via qmail-src.deb (debian potato) and fresh compile of vpopmail. Sincerely, Rolf Martin-Hoster

Mutt, and local-user email
About a week ago Kieran Barnes was asking how to get Mutt working in a vpopmail environment. Answers were here's my .muttrc and set up an IMAP server, essentially -- good answers, but I'm not sure we ever got to the heart of what the problem was. Maybe the question is: How can you log onto the server, then access mail that's in a vpop 'virtualdomain'...? To the server, you're -not- that user, and you're not user 'vpopmail' either -- so, given that arrangement, how could you make use of Mutt to handle email from on the server...? Would this be solved by having Mutt talk to an IMAP server (or even a POP server with Mutt's 'unset pop_delete' switch thrown), instead of accessing the Maildir directly? And, I expect, you'd have to make all sorts of changes in Mutt to get the ougoing message headers to turn out right -- since whichever 'user' you are when using Mutt won't have the same name as the virtualdomain user. (scratching head) Have I got it about right...? -- -- Jeff -- http://www.wellnow.com There's nothing left in the world to prove.

Re: dbfunctions - it's over
It was answered before this posting on the list, when Krzysztof first noticed that the dbfunctions patch in its entirity was not going to be included in the latest vpopmail build. You can check the archives for the exact posting (subject Dbfunctions) but the general of it all was that dbfunctions could not be included in its current state because it breaks non database installations, it lacks documentation and Krzysztof never gave Ken enough information to port it properly to support the entire vopmail userbase. -- Tim - Original Message - From: "Wojciech Smolkowski" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 5:00 PM Subject: Re: dbfunctions - it's over Hi, Can anyone tell me, why there is no answer ( for letters with 'dbfunctions' in Subject ) from inter7.com ?
