I am trying to wipe out everything and start from scratch. I tried using drop database vpopmail; and creating it again using the instructions to install vpopmail, but I'm unable to add the same domains back again. It keeps saying the domain already exists. If I try to use the command

[vchkpw] qmailadmin and apache suexec

2003-11-05 Thread Don Walters
I had qmailadmin installed and working great. Today, I setup my apache server to use suexec. I noticed my qmailadmin stopped working. After looking through the archives, I found a post where someone mentioned that I needed to change the owner, group, and permissions on the qmailadmin file.

In my case, i use a specific virtualhost for qmailadmin, and i set suexec on this virtualhost to vpopmail.vchkpw After setting up my vhosts as you described, I discovered that in order for apache to run suexec as the vpopmail user, it must run as uid and gid of 89. My suexec is configured to

[vchkpw] vpopmail uid/gid 89

2003-11-07 Thread Don Walters
Can somebody explain what I need to do in order to change the uid/gid for vpopmail to something other than 89.89. I have poured over the archives looking for a way, but I can't find anything that explains how. Is there some special reason it needs to be 89? I have tried going into some of

On a lot of systems these days you can run vipw to edit the password file and change the UID. vipw will update the shadow password file too (if you use shadow passwords). I have vipw (I'm running RH9) but it seems to be just a incantation of the vi editor that takes me through the files and

[vchkpw] Moving everything to a new server

2004-03-07 Thread Don Walters
I would like to move everything from one server to another. I have installed mysql, vpopmail, qmail, and a bunch of other services on the new machine. Now all that remains is moving my vpopmail database over to the new server. Since this database is pretty big, I don't want to create all of

I'm no database expert, but you may need to export the database to some flat file format from the old server, then import it into the new one. Yeah, I've been reading about using vconvert to save the mysql database to cdb format and then import that back into the new server, running the

~vpopmail/bin/vconvert -- run that by itself. Ok, that helps. Now I guess that means I need to create each domain on the new server, put this file under each domain (same place as on the old server) and rerun the command converting everything back to mysql format? That will update the mysql
