Can't get user I created logged into squirell mail

ERROR:
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.


The above is the error I am getting.

 

Any errors in your mail log?

 

I have attached the mail log.

 

Not sure if this is part of the problem, but when I was doing part of the install
Configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common? <-- No
I believe I accidentally answered yes

In doing some more troubleshooting i noticed that the mail directory did not get created under /home/vmail when I sent a email to a newly created user. Not sure how to correct this as I was under the impression that if I did :
mailx [email protected]
created and email and this email being sent to user mailbox forced the creation of the user and mailbox?

 

ok I was doing some searching and I tried this

postconf -e 'proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps'

and I restarted postfix and still no good

 

ok doing some more looking in the mail.err log file and here is what I turned up

May 16 14:20:01 mail imapd: [email protected]: No such file or directory
May 16 14:20:16 mail postfix/proxymap[14050]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf: No such file or directory

May 16 14:29:25 mail postfix/proxymap[14068]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf: No such file or directory

 

ok I figured out why I was getting the imap connect error it appears once agiain I missed a peice of the puzzel

vi /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf

user = mail_admin
password = mail_admin_password
dbname = mail
query = SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain='%s'
hosts = 127.0.0.1

I then ran the following command to change owner (could have done just the single file but it was easier to them all again)
chmod o= /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_*.cf
chgrp postfix /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_*.cf

I was able to log into the squirrelmail, but get blank screen. Another problem I noticed was that their is no transport info in myphpadmin for my domain does there need to be?
The mail.err looks like this now
May 16 19:14:32 mail dccproc[1879]: no working DCC servers dcc1.dcc-servers.net dcc2.dcc-servers.net dcc3.dcc-servers.net ... at 127.0.0.1

ok I putty to my server and went to the /home/vmail/thedomain.net and the users directory did exist. I tried using winscp to verify and it looks like it is hidden from my user id in winscp. Still get blank screen on squirrelmail. I also noticed that when I delete a user out of phpmyadmin it is not deleting the user as I can still see their home directory.

 

ok here is my config file from squirrel

Please make sure you introduced no PHP syntax error in the config.php file of the change_sqlpass plugin.

 

Thanks I will look at that. Any ideas on why the user's email directory is not be deleted when I delete user out of PHPmyadmin.
Also Configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common? <-- No
I believe I accidentally answered yes

 

I could see no sytax error(s)> i loaded the debugger plug-in and it said no problems. Any other ideas?

 

Did you modify any other Squirrelmail files?

 

No I didn't modify any other files. Should I just start from scratch over again and see what I come up with?
Hey follow me here - I followed the doc - The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10) [ISPConfig 2] down to section 9 page 38 and then switched over to Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 9.10) because at that point they looked like they were the same. Did I miss something? Is there a way to setup SquirrelMail with just system users. There will be only one business using this server for mail
