Re: [vchkpw] Domains that both exist and don't exist
This is not a problem so much with vpopmail, as a problem with the migration of information. vpopmail takes care of managing qmail's configuration files as well as it's own, and therefore, various things must be modified for a migration. The most important files you will need to move over: /var/qmail/controls/*(obviously cant forget these) /var/qmail/users/assign This file maps ownership to deliveries. The userIDs and groupIDs must match the vpopmail:vchkpw UIDs/GIDs. Last but not least, run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu to compile /var/qmail/users/cdb There's a variety of things that can cause problems during a migration. These are the common ones more experienced users of vpopmail will come across. The more basic ones are making sure .qmail-default exists under the domain's directory, and making sure your vpasswd file isnt corrupt, or that the vpasswd.cdb file is not out of date, broken, etc. Ryan White wrote: > > I am having a similar problem.

Re: [vchkpw] Domains that both exist and don't exist
I am having a similar problem. I am moving domains to a new server and the new server says the domains do not exist. I am using mysql and the domain info is in the database. For some of the domains I ran vadddomain and the domains will start working. The problem is vadddomain overwrites the .qmail-default (and possibly other data). So my question is what is the proper way to migrate a vpopmail server and initialize the domains? Is there something that does vtouchdomain ;) -Ryan - Original Message - From: "Darren McClelland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 11:56 AM Subject: [vchkpw] Domains that both exist and don't exist > Hi, > I'm in the process of transferring a bunch of mail domains to a new server > and added a bunch of domains to the new server via vadddomain. > Something went wrong with some of them and now I have a bunch of domains that > vdeldomain says don't exist, and yet vadddomain says already exist and won't > delete.

Re: [vchkpw] Domains that both exist and don't exist
I have been looking at them, and the domains in qestion are in the files in /var/qmail I can edit the text files to get rid of the domains in question, but they also appear to be in some of the binary files there. How do I get them back into shape? Darren On Friday 20 September 2002 12:02, Justin R.
