Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail

Can you post your main.cf? http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04-p2 doesn't use the file mysql-aliases.cf.

 

Okey, did edit my main.cf correct now... i think. The error message now is only:

Aug 7 21:16:18 Inleed-S1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Aug 7 21:16:18 Inleed-S1 imapd: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Connection refused
Aug 7 21:16:18 Inleed-S1 imapd: [Hint: perhaps authdaemond is not running?]
Aug 7 21:16:18 Inleed-S1 imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Aug 7 21:16:18 Inleed-S1 imapd: authentication error: Connection refused

Any idea?

Regards

 

Please try this:

Code:

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart
/etc/init.d/courier-imap restart
/etc/init.d/courier-imap-ssl restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop-ssl restart

 

Hi,

All restarts went well. But i still got the error in syslog:

Aug 8 23:31:05 Inleed-S1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Aug 8 23:31:05 Inleed-S1 imapd: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Connection refused
Aug 8 23:31:05 Inleed-S1 imapd: [Hint: perhaps authdaemond is not running?]
Aug 8 23:31:05 Inleed-S1 imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Aug 8 23:31:05 Inleed-S1 imapd: authentication error: Connection refused

 

Do you get any errors when you run

Code:

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart

?
What's the output of

Code:

ps aux

?

 

Yeah :S alots...

Code:

/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 1: MYSQL_SERVER: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 2: MYSQL_USERNAME: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 3: MYSQL_PASSWORD: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 4: MYSQL_PORT: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 5: MYSQL_DATABASE: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 6: MYSQL_USER_TABLE: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 7: MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 9: MYSQL_UID_FIELD: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 10: MYSQL_GID_FIELD: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 11: MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 12: MYSQL_HOME_FIELD: command not found
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 13: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/etc/courier/authdaemonrc: line 13: `MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/')'

 

What's in /etc/courier/authdaemonrc?

 

I found this in that file:

Code:

MYSQL_SERVER localhost
MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin
MYSQL_PASSWORD ********
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE mail
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
#MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail"
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/')
#MYSQL_NAME_FIELD
MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota

 

I think you've mixed up /etc/courier/authdaemonrc and /etc/courier/authmysqlrc in chapter 7 on http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04-p2

 

Opps

How should /etc/courier/authdaemonrc be completed with? Now i have only:

authmodulelist="authmysql"

But the guide says

...
authmodulelist="authmysql"
...

So what should be before and after

authmodulelist="authmysql"


Regards!

 

I don't have a sample /etc/courier/authdaemonrc file right now so I can't tell. But you could uninstall the Courier packages like this:

Code:

apt-get remove --purge courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl

and then install them again and do the Courier configuration again.

 

Okey, did what u said.

Now when i check the log its only:

Aug 12 21:50:47 Inleed-S1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

And still error message:

ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

 

I think the best solution would be to set up the system from scratch again.

 

It must bee some i can do about this error. The feeling of doing it all again sucks

 

I think it will take far more time to find the error than to set up the system again...

 

Blank Page

Hi, I am newbie to Linux. I have followed every step in the article but when I login as [email protected]. A blank page is returned in the browser.

No idea what is going on? Can someone please help?

Thanks.

 

You mean in Squirrelmail? Are there any errors in your logs?

 

Thanks for the reply.

yes, I mean Squirrelmail. I have checked the mail.log and it only said user has logged in and then next line user has logged out. No errors at all.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

 

Does this happen in different browsers?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Firefox --> Blank Page
Internet Explorer 6 --> HTTP 500 Internal server error.
