[vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail migration
I have an existing vpopmail/qmail server hosting several domains. I've put together a new server on the same subnet to replace the old one. vpopmail is configured and functioning properly on the new server. My plan is to simply copy the /home/vpopmail/* directory to the new server, and move the IP address from new to old. My question is: Are there any important files withing /var/qmail or elsewhere that also need to be moved at the time of migration? Thank you. -- -- Zak L Brown, R.H.C.E.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail migration
make sure that the permission (uid and gid are the same on the new server. also the qmail control files need to be copied over also. and the db needs to match everything else. so to sum it all up.. qmail, /var/vpopmail and the db all need to match. I have done this many times and it is a very tricky operation.

Zak, Move also the rcpthosts (and morercpthosts file), virtualdomains and any other /var/qmail/control file which has information about your virtual domains.

Please check the archives first, this has been answered countless times before. Either way, here's what you'll need: /var/qmail/control/* /var/qmail/rc /var/qmail/users/* -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 1:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail migration I have an existing vpopmail/qmail server hosting several domains.
