[vchkpw] vadddomain - Error: Could not open qmail default

[Jeremy Kister]

when i use vadddomain, i get an error:
Error: Could not open qmail default

vdeldomain, vadduser, and vdeluser all work correctly.

I made a small change to vpopmail.c to see what's going on:

--- ../vpopmail-5.4.13/vpopmail.c   2006-02-22 16:05:34.612401000 -0500

DomainSubDir);

   if ( (fs = fopen(tmpbuf, w+))==NULL) {
 /* back out of changes made so far */
 chdir(dir); chdir(DOMAINS_DIR);



this yields the following output:
/export/home/vpopmail//export/home/vpopmail/domains/ff.com/.qmail-default
Error: Could not open qmail default

my configure:

./configure \
--prefix=/export/home/vpopmail/arch/SunOS-5-sun4u \
--enable-domains-dir=/export/home/vpopmail/domains \
--disable-md5-passwords \
--disable-roaming-users \
--enable-logging=v \
--disable-rebuild-tcpserver-file \
--enable-learn-passwords \
--enable-qmail-ext \
--enable-ip-alias-domains


if I symlink /export/home/vpopmail/export/home/vpopmail/domains to 
/export/home/vpopmail/domains, all works fine.


Anyone know why this is happening ?

As far as I know --enable-domains-dir sets the domains directory, relative to vpopmail's home dir. If you set vpopmail's home dir to /export/home/vpopmail, /export/home/vpopmail/domains will be set by default as DOMAINS_DIR.

Funny, I was just testing that as your message came in.

I changed the path to /export/home/vpopmail/./ in my passwd file, and 
recompiled.


sure enough, the error was referencing 
/export/home/vpopmail/./export/home/vpopmail/domains


so --enable-domains-dir is relative to the vpopmail user's path.  I 
think it's more intuitive to think that --enable-domains-dir overrides 
--prefix.  but that's fine.  it should be noted in ./configure --help.


recompiling and simply leaving out --enable-domains-dir fixed the problem.

Thanks,
