/etc/postfix/postfix-script: No such file or directory

Hi all,

I'm testing the howto on setting up postfix with mysql support. When I run postfix check i get the message : /etc/postfix/postfix-script: No such file or directory. The file or dir isn't there. What can I do to repair the thing? I now stopped with the howto on page 2 (Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV)
Thanks in advance

Randy

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /etc/postfix

? Did you install Postfix using apt?

 

Yes I did.
I noticed that the dpkg command (of the howto) did create the file but immediately removed it again.... Strange heh... Anyway , I stopped with the test, because Till told me that this setup is not supported by ISPconfig. Maybe nice to look at this option to make redundant mail and mysql servers with fallbacks... Just curious, if I did the setup like this, would it completely disrupt ispconfig, or would I just have to manage my e-mail with an external program.


Greetings

Randy

 

Hi there,

I have the same problem than Randy.

I'm using a Debian Sarge 3.1 Stable

I have strictly followed the tutorial, and when I do

postfix check

I have the following error :

postfix: fatal: /etc/postfix/postfix-script: No such file or directory

Indeed the file is missing.

# ls -la /etc/postfix

And I've installed postfix with apt-get (likethe tutorial )

Any idea? Thanks per advance!

 

You'd have to manage your email accounts yourself (e.g. with phpMyAdmin).

 

Which tutorial (URL)?

 

URL : http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

Since, I have done a

apt-get remove postfix --purge

and re-installed it without patches, and postfix is working now. I have to try again the tutorial, I'll let you know
