I did leave out some details, First of all, start with a clean slate on your slave server / new server. Drop the database vpopmail. Create it again. On the master computer do the following: mysqldump -u (adminname) -p vpopmail /root/vpopmail.sql Type the password and you have now made an image of your vpopmail database..Get that file over to the slave computer. Then on the slave computer login to mysql and do the following: use vpopmail; source /root/vpopmail.sql; Now you should be good to go. copy exactly the /home/vpopmail/domains dir over then run chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw /home/vpopmail/domains/* Of course you want to copy over /var/qmail/control /var/qmail/alais /var/qmail/users then... start the server... start imap and you should be home free BUD (Officespace) Hope this helps thanks -Blake-

I finally figured out what my issues were. The user and group must have the same id on both servers. I had read that someplace before but forgot about it. So yeah problem solved. I was doing it the right way all along just wrong user and group id's chalk another one up to me being dumb. I am glad that you got it figured out. I have been working on this myself for over a week. Pulling my hair out!!! I think that this should be a howto somewhere. Thanks -Blake-

[vchkpw] Transfering from Old to New Server
Hello everyone, I am running qmail with vpopmail. I Also use vqadmin. I need to know what I need to copy over to a new server so that it will be able to authenticate all user accounts and have thier email exactly the same as it was. Vpopmail is also using a mysql database. So far I have been able to copy the correct directories from qmail over. I also replicated the database exactly. At this point vqadmin reports my domain and shows all my users. The only thing that I am missing - none of the users are able to authenticate!!! Very frustrating. Here are the details: from qmail copied /var/qmail/alias and control and users. I also copied /home/vpopmail/domains over to the new server. As I mention before I copied the mysql database over exactly. Just can't authenticate users!! any suggestions? -Blake-
Re: [vchkpw] Transfering from Old to New Server
Hi Blacke. You should make to script to change the passwords. I things that the problem is in the mysql crypt, I am not sure, but a script solved my problem when I migrated my server. It should read the pw_clear_passwd and pw_name of table domains and run this command: vpasswd $user $password - Original Message - From: Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 10:55 AM Subject: [vchkpw] Transfering from Old to New Server Hello everyone, I am running qmail with vpopmail.
