You should follow www.lifewithqmail.org and then read vpopmail's INSTALL file. Anywho, you've already shot yourself in the foot, so let's see if we can't bandage your wound. Now I want to upgrade vpopmail-5.2 to vpopmail-5.4, I am afraid whether the mailboxes will gone or not? vpopmail is a set of tools that helps with creating and administering virtual domains with qmail. upgrading to a newer version simply upgrades the tools involved. or I don't know what configuration parameter should I use? if you still have your old vpopmail source around (you DO still have your old sources around, right?) then take a look at config.status to see what you ran for your ./configure. Also, this points out another problem with using installation tools and 'toasters' *shudder* in that you end up not knowing what you have on your system. the new version of vpopmail will yell at you if you try to use configuration options that have been obsoleted, and will point you in the direction of the new versions of those configuration options. what's the best safe step for upgrading to vpopmail-5.4? ./configure make make install however, that might not work for you, if say.. you're using mysql, etc. Of course, you should know how your system is set up, so that should be obvious :) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the beginning was The Word and The Word was Content-type: text/plain -- The Word of Bob. pgpfkPp7ih4fn.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thanks a lot, I found below statements: #! /bin/sh # Generated automatically by configure. # Run this file to recreate the current configuration. # This directory was configured as follows, # on host localhost.localdomain: # # ./configure --enable-roaming-users=n # # Compiler output produced by configure, useful for debugging # configure, is in ./config.log if it exists. in the /usr/local/src/qinstall/vpopmail-5.2/config.status the questions are: 1. Is it safe for me to run ./configure --enable-roaming-users=n for upgrading to vpopmail-5.4 ? 2. Do I have chance to roolback to vpopmail-5.2 if something happen? .. if so how to rollback .. I need advise thanks a lot in advance Regards Winanjaya - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kitchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 7:56 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] New bie want to upgrade vpopmail 5-2 to vpopmail-5.4 On Thursday 22 December 2005 04:50 pm, Winanjaya - PBXSoftwares.com wrote: I installed qmail+vpopmail-5.2+sqwebmail+qmailadmin+ucspi_tcp instantly by using qinstall tools.. bad idea.

Because it messes up the flow of reading. How come? I prefer to reply inline. What do you do instead? No. Do you like top-posting? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting -- read.

You may how ever have to re-compile and re-install other programs that rely on vpopmail libraries, including but not limited to courier-imap qmail (if you have vpopmail specific patches installed) sqwebmail qmailadmin As it is that time of the season for me, I would be more than happy to help you upgrade to the latest version if you wish (which may mean access to your system) for no charge tomorrow, or at least scope out your system and tell you what may need upgrading in addition to vpopmail. If you do take me up on the offer, I do ask that you visit http://www.childsplaycharity.org and make a donation though :) Regards, Rick
