[vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql
Hey, this is Joshua Coucke (on my work account) I have been able to get the email server working on postgres like I said. However, I can not send messages. I get an error message telling me that Thunderbird can not connect to the SMTP server. When I check in the vlog table it has this error "vchkpw-pop3: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:x.x.x.x" Now the user is in the database, I can see it using phppgadmin and the vuserinfo command. So why is vchkpw-pop3 not finding the user? Thanks, Joshua Coucke

I just tried a tcpdump. I did tcpdump tcp and then a grep 'smtp' smtp. Here are the contents of the smtp file.

RE: [vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql
The other odd thing is that vqadmin and qmailadmin still seem to be using the mysql database after recompiling vpopmail for use with postgres. You need to recompile them both, as they are statically linked to the vpopmail libraries from your previous version. Hope that helps, Nick Harring
RE: [vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql
Now I just have to figure out why vpopmail is not working with postgres like it should. I found the install guild at http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/vpopmail-postgresql.htm. However, this did not seem to help. Am I correct in assuming that the connection info for postgres is stored in the vpgsql.h file? Have you checked for a /path/to/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.pgsql file? MySQL used to be controlled out of vmysql.h but moved to vpopmail.mysql. Not sure if pgsql did the same. Hope that helps, Nick

You'll need to recompile courier-imap (in addition to qmailadmin and vqadmin as others posted). You can use the vuserinfo program to confirm that vpopmail is reading from PostgreSQL correctly. I assume that you used vconvert to move the users from MySQL to PostgreSQL (probably moving them temporarily to vpasswd files?) I'm fairly certain that PostgreSQL is working properly in 5.4.10.

I had just done a db dump on mysql and imported it to postgres, but I will use vconvert the next time I attempt it. I'm fairly certain that PostgreSQL is working properly in 5.4.10. We did a lot of work on it, and I thought there were people using it in production environments. I am sure there are, I just have not figured it out yet. Also, Nick, from what I could tell vpopmail does not use a vpopmail.pgsql file. Although, I do have one there just in case. Joshua

RE: [vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql
I'm using vpopmail 5.4.10 successfully with PostgreSQL. How about permissions for your vpopmail sql user? Did you GRANT that user permissions to the database? How about trying to use the postgres user? Kind of like using root so I wouldn't leave it that way but at least it may indicate if it's a permissions issue? How about running the commandline utilities? /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo email addy Does that yield a failed connection as well?

RE: [vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql
Nah. You did it the right way. That's how I would have done it. I just moved everything to a new server and did it by exporting and importing the SQL data. I recall doing a mysql to PostgreSQL conversion once and just did an export and import. Is there anything in the log files? /var/log/mail/info or /var/log/mail/errors ... how about in /var/log/qmail/pop3d/current? If vuserinfo is working, then your database hooks in vpopmail are all ok. How about doing a make clean and make and make install again? Then restart qmail. If you're using daemontools svc -du /service/qmail-pop3d How about if you telnet to the server on port 110 and try to auth by hand? You sure it's not a Thunderbird issue? If you're doing IMAP, then try recompiling the authdaemon. I believe it's a separate package now from Courier. I had some issues at one point and I ended up deleting everything in ~vpopmail/etc ~vpopmail/include ~vpopmail/bin and ~vpopmail/lib then rebuilt vpopmail and rebuilt authdaemon. Then it all worked.

RE: [vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql
Did you try using the postgres user for the database instead of the one you made? One of the things that happens on login that wouldn't with vuserinfo would be an insertion or update to the vlog table or lastauth table. If you want, contact me off list and we can discuss the possibility of me logging in to your system and checking things out.

If vuserinfo is working, then your database hooks in vpopmail are all ok. How about doing a make clean and make and make install again? Then restart qmail. I have been doing make clean every time I recompile. How about if you telnet to the server on port 110 and try to auth by hand? You sure it's not a Thunderbird issue? Tried it and it failed just after I entered the password for the account. I had some issues at one point and I ended up deleting everything in ~vpopmail/etc ~vpopmail/include ~vpopmail/bin and ~vpopmail/lib then rebuilt vpopmail and rebuilt authdaemon. Then it all worked. I tried deleting everything out of those directories and then rebuilding vpopmail and it still failed Joshua From: Joshua Coucke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 11:53 AM To: vchkpw@inter7.com Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Switching from Mysql to Postgresql Charles J.
