Hello: I had posted a similar question couple of days ago. I have done quite a bit research & actual installation and would like to post the following question for somebody's help and/or recommendation:
I have setup a MAIL server with RH9, qmail, mysql, vpopmail, etc. I have tested vpopmail by adding a domain & it works. I also have setup a DATA server with RH9 & Master MySQL. My goal is to keep all MySQL data on the DATA server. MAIL server & RADIUS servers go to the DATA server for MySQL records. Latency is not a problem because all these servers are connected on a private (192.168.237.X) network. After I tested the MAIL server, I tried for it to create a domain on DATA server vpopmail database. On the MAIL server I changed the "/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql" from: localhost|0|vpopmailuser|vpoppasswd|vpopmail -to- 192.167.237.16|0|vpopmailuser|vpoppasswd|vpopmail where 192.167.237.16 is the IP address of the DATA server. I also have tried various other techniques but nothing seem to work. When I try adding a domain, I get error message: vmysql: sql error[c]: MYSQL server has gone away (and slew of other similar error messages) Therefore, my question is: (1) Has anybody tried setting up vpopmail with MySQL backend data being on server (but on the same LAN/network)? (2) Is it even possible? (3) If not possible, how can I move the user data to the backend MySQL DATA server so other servers (such as RADIUS for authentication) can use it? I have spent about two weeks on this project. Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kirti
