New installation on Debian 7. I followed the Perfect Server tutorial here: https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-wheezy-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 E everything has worked perfectly! Usually after four pages I mess something up! Well, possibly I have. I started testing mail accounts. I created a mail domain OK and it seemed like I created a email address OK. Now I cannot delete the email address or edit it. When I tray to delete the address I get the javascript dialog and click OK but the mail record does not go away. If I try to edit the email address I get the form to create the address without any fields populated. I know very little about email servers and am doing this as a kind of self tutorial on setting up and securing servers. Any help would be appreciated!
I went to the mysql database and the user was still in the database. I deleted them by hand and recreated them through ISPConfig. No help. I made sure all the typical email ports were open on the firewall (25, 110, 143) no progress. I also tried to login to email using the squirrelmail web interface...it just sits and spins. After a minute or so it says "Unknown user or password incorrect."
Did you add any aliases in apache, especially and alias /mail will cause problems like this (thats why the perfect server uses /webmail as alias for the webmail client).
Domain.com/webmail takes me to squirrelmail. I do not believe that there are any other aliases. Domain.com/mail does not resolve. I'll check apache tonight when I have ssh access.
Nope, all tables check out fine. Rereading my last post I might sound like I am dismissing your suggestion. What I mean to say is that all the tables checked out with status "OK" in mysql.
Further work. I moved my database to a stand alone server rather than localhost. Postfix/dovecot was not working because it was not connecting to the host. I reconfigured dovecot, postfix and amavis and now I can send and receive. When I try to delete an address it goes through the motions but does not delete. If I try to edit the address it comes up with a blank form. When I delete the email domain both the email domain and the email address get deleted from ISPConfig and the Mysql tables.
Here is what the issue was: I originally set up ISPConfig on localhost mysql server. I then moved the database to a remote server. I changed the connection parameters in many places but obviously missed some. I started a new server and installed a fresh ISPConfig with the databases on the remote server from the start. The new version worked just fine. I am assuming that I did not get all the database connection parameters changed in all places that needed changed.
