I have web-cyradm configured on a web server. The mail server resides
on another machine. When I try to use web-cyradm, it returns no
errors, but seems to be failing. It simply refreshes the login page. I
can find nothing in logs on either machine, though I did change one
option that caused a web server error, so that part is working.
The documentation is sparse, so for example I don't know what these
variables refer to exactly.
# The Cyrus login stuff
$CYRUS = array(
'HOST' => 'localhost',
Is this 'HOST' the one where the authentication is taking place, where
the mysql database resides or where the IMAP server is running?
$DB = array(
'TYPE' => 'mysql',
'USER' => 'mail',
IMAP user name, or mysql connection user name?
'PASS' => 'secret',
This password is associated with the USER above, I presume.
'PROTO' => 'unix', // set to "tcp" for TCP/IP
What needs to make this connection? The IMAP authetication mechanism
from the remote machine or the MYSQL connection localy?
'HOST' => 'localhost',
which host here? the one where mysql is running, or the one where IMAP
is running?
'NAME' => 'mail'
$LOG_DIR = "/var/log/web-cyradm";
Ends in a / or not? Local machine log or IMAP machine log.
I guess what I"m trying to understand is when the web-cyradm is
running on a web server seperate from where cyrus-imapd and the mail
store reside, how do these configuration option address that? I know
IMAP is running, I can see the logs and I can use cyradm and
saslpasswd2 to create and authenticate users on the mail server. How
can I configure web-cyradm on a remote machine to do the same?
If I missed some documentation, I would be happy to read it if someone
sends along a URL. I have been reading the Postfix Cyrus Web-cyradm
HOWTO which seems to cover running all services on one machine just
fine. What gets confusing is when you want some services on one
machine and the rest on the other. For example, where is the PAM
Configuration supposed to exist?
Some of the configurtion options for Configuring Postfix are a little
vague. Are the postfix external configuration files with values for
mydestination
relayhost
mailbox_transport
supposed to point to the local or remote machine?
I know cyrus is working, I have squirrelmail configured and connecting
to the remote machine. What I seem unable to do is get web-cyradm to
work or report useful errors that will lead me to a solution.
Please forgive my verbosity. Thank you in advance for any userful
answers you can provide.
