If you want to change your schema from small site, to large site, I would recommend you do the conversion while you're at 4.9.10 using the vconvert tool as this tool does not work for mysql database backend under 5.0 (Ken, any time frame on this working again?) It should be pretty simple, just do:
~vpopmail/bin/vconvert -s -l This will take you from small site to large site. Also as an FYI, the --enable-large-site=y has been depreciated in vpopmail 5 and replaced with --enable-many-domains=n If you want to use the clear-text passwords option in vpopmail 5, I would highly recommend you go through the UPGRADE.tren file included with the vpopmail 5 distribution as it will walk you through the necessary conversions to you mysql tables to support the extra field. I'd also recommend turning on the learning passwords feature (*plug*) as it's a very nice feature. Make the user with a blank password and first time they pop in, it sets their password. I hope this information helps, but just remember, convert to large site format under 4.9.10 first, test, then upgrade.

I'm planning to upgrade Vpopmail 4.9.10 to 5.0 (final beta). I use MySQL authorization and plan to add --enable-large-site=y while compiling Vpopmail 5.0. I *didn't* use "--enable-large-site=y" feature in 4.9.10 before. FAQ says that process of upgrading is approx. similiar to fresh install - download sources - compile - done :). Is it true for migration from 4.9.10 to 5.0? In other words, adding support for large-site will definitely rebuild/remake vpopmail's DB in MySQL (make it one table per domain). Right now I have all domains/users in one table (vpopmail), do I have to change settings of database (vpopmail) manually or everything will be fixed up by vpopmail? :) OS: FreeBSD 4.4 STABLE, MySQL 3.23.28 Thank you very much.
