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.

Regards,

Tren.

Subject: --enable-large-site=y and vpopmail 5.0


Good day.

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.

Regards,
Roman
