hello
I am attempting to transfer an old qmail/webmail framework system from an old redhat 6.2 to a SuSE 8.1 system.
I have successfully compiled and deployed Qmail smtp on SuSE (using inetd) and disabled the default postfix.
Qmail smtp works fine and i dont have any problem with that.
I have trasnfered the /home/vpopmail directory to the new system.
I also copied the ezmlm binaries from one system to another and made sure that they are found in the proper paths.
I installed Mysql and transfered the vpopmail db.
i quadrouple checked the account rights in /etc/passwd, /etc/group and mysql.
first i tried using the old qmailadmin binaries from the redhat system and faced problems "connecting" to mysql
i installed a separte mysql client on my wks and tried to use the same account to the mysql server and didnt experience any problems
but when i tried to use qmailadmin i kept getting "vsql_getpw: failed select"
i recompiled vpopmail to make sure that the propper account credentials are there
after compiling i tried "./vadddomain revere.laboratory.kom" and got the following error
Kilara:/adm/vpopmail-5.2.1 # ./vadddomain revere.laboratory.kom
