Hy Everyone, Due to hardware incompatibility with debian sarge, I am forced to use the etch version. The latest changelog of the ispconfig update showed support for debian/etch. So I was planning on following the perfect debian setup and then install ispconfig. As the perfect debian setup is bassed of sarge I have a couple of questions: Is there anyone who has tryed this before? Is there something I should do different during the perfect setup because it is etch and not sarge? Thanks in advance. Rgds Edo
yes. The overall setup works. There are just some minor differences in e.g. the apache configuration file layout of the new debian version. I've not written down the exact differences, so I acnt give a complete list.
Thanks Thanks for the advice Till. I will give it a try and let you know how it turned out. At least now I know it has a change of succeeding. Rgds Edo
almost there???? oooops.... Whele the whole install whent prety whel dispite of some obvious changes. Only there was something not quite well with the mail system. I was suspecting something would go wrong with the saslauthd configuration because there were to many differences with the "perfect debian sarge setup" and unfortunatly it did. All of the rsa key validation went smoothly but still I can't connect to my pop3 server. I'm getting an error: There was a problem during connection/validation with the e-mailserver. You're user account is denied. Account: '10.0.0.230', Server: '10.0.0.230', Protocol: POP3, Reactie van server: '-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command', Poort: 110, Beveiligd(SSL): Nee, Serverfout: 0x800CCC90, Foutnummer: 0x800CCC91 The http server is ok, the ftp server is ok!!! But connecting to the pop3 server keeps asking for a correct user?? Anybody ... any ideas would be verry appreciated Rgsd Edo
SASL and pop3 are two different things. SASL is only for SMTP. Did you install courier as pop3 server?
follow up Hmmm SASL and POP3 are 2 different things yes.. But in the perfect install they follow up each other to make the postfix install ready, so I thats why I thougt that. And no I have not installed courier as pop3 as far as I know. It comes up twice during the install but I did not installed it. Just to be sure I have enabled Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> EMail in the ISPConfig web interface. Still the same error so no luck there. To test some more I installed webmail. Unfortunatly I first get the SSL YES/NO question and then page not found. As debian/etch is verry much related to Ubuntu6.10,and the postfix installation part looks more like the one of Echt. I will try to reconfigure/install postfix following the perfect ubuntu6.10 install. Probably have to reinstall ISP config afterward? right? Anyway thanks for the help so far!!
Please install courier as described in the perfect debian setup, it will replace your currently installed pop3 daemon.
update Hy Till, thanks for you're quick respons. I have done the followingFrom the ubuntu6.10 perfect setup) - apt-get install postfix libsasl2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules libdb3-util procmail (this installed 2 extra packages as postfix was ofcourse already installed). - dpkg-reconfigure postfix Configured postfix like the setup sayd. Deleted the certificates and created new ones like the setup sayd. Configured postfix some more following the setup. /etc/postfix/mail.cf was correct like the example. Followed the setup to the end of the page. And after I saw you're reply I did. - apt-get install courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl gamin libgamin0 libglib2.0-0 Sorry, I read you're post to fast and the courier install was from the ubuntu6.10 setup and not the debian. I hope I did not screw up here. Anyway, the situation is still the same. Even while enabling maildir support in ispconfig. After a reboot I saw an error on the screen: Starting all courrier stuff OK * Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled. Starting postfix mail OK This can not be good. Any advice on getting this working is highly appreciated. Thansk in advance. Rgds Edo
Reisnstalling the sasl stuff from the ubuntu howto was not a good idea, we nare now more far away from a solution then a few poats agi Its always a bad idea to mix dirrenet howtos, this will most likely result in a non working setup. 1) Reconfigure the complete postfix stuff with the steps described in the debian setup. 2) Install the courier packages as described in the debian setup. 3) Send a email to a local mailbox from a webmail package on your server, e.g. uebimiau and post the lines that you get in the logfile. Maildir must be enabled.
back again I started the install of debian/ETCH and ispconfig all over again just to make sure. Because you said And now I have the same problem as I started with. And as you adviced 1. Reconfiguring was done thrue the setup. 2. Instaled it as the debian setup. 3. ubable to, because postfix won't start and webmail either. This was the output of the installation: apt-get install courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl <- NO websrv01:~/install_ispconfig# postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' websrv01:~/install_ispconfig# postconf -e 'mailbox_command =' websrv01:~/install_ispconfig# /etc/init.d/postfix restart shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfix. shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfixchdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory .

Thanks in advance. Rgds Edo
Thats all fine, nothing to worry about. you just executed the commands from within a non existing directory.
not all fine Hi till, Okee maybe the error's werent that big but I still don't have a working mail system on my ispconfig box. The normal pop or webmail are both not working. After the install of the courier/mail I now also have an error while starting up the server: * Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled. I also noticed that my spamassasin is not starting up due to errors. If you have any more tips on how to make this work on etch I'd be verry happy. Rgds Edo
closer Well it seems I forgot to set the "Maildir" option in ISPconfig settings. This did not help me the last time but this time it did. I now DO have a working pop server and can connect to it. Only when sending mail thrue SMTP, it again asks me for a password. The webmail unfortunatly is still not working. And as you asked here is the ouput of my "netstat -tap".

Rgds Edo
extra Some additional information: I have setup an extra test server. Started out with the perfect debian setup for sarge using the ETCH cd. When I got to the point of the install courier stuff, i did the install and booted afterwards. BAM!! the same errors show up as I have now. * not starting internet superserver: no services enabled. I think the courier stuff should not be applied in this way on an ETCH server. Any thoughts on this? Rgds Edo
Thats no error. Its the correct notice that the suoerserver is not started which is correct and must be the case to run courier. The courier stuff must be applied and the message that you interpreted as error shows that you installed it correctly. This menas couries is working perfectly! This means that your SASL configuration is wrong.
