Hi, set-up is Perfect Server, ISPC3, OpenSuSE 11.1 All was working fine for a long time then I got a SMTP server log in failed message. On investigation I discovered that saslauthd was not running and would not start on boot or with etc/init.d/saslauthd start (error 7) I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling saslauthd using yast to no avail. All services, except saslauthd, start at boot up. Apache, pop & webmail seem ok
Hi Mark, Thanks for the super prompt reply but I'm going to need some assistance. The output is many screens-full. More than I can read using Putty. I have local access to the server but I don't know how to capture it into a txt file or get that out of the machine. regards Rick
run: Code: strace -o saslauthd.txt /etc/init.d/saslauthd start attach the file to your next reply and i'll have a look at it.
Hmm, can't make anything of that, just that it failes to start (i forgot to ask to run it with follow childprocs, but let's forget that) You said you reinstalled saslauthd, didn't that overwrite some of your configuration settings? Also, can you see anything related to the saslauthd process in your log files when you try to start it? If there's not enough info, you can set the debug level up, so you get more information in your log files. I'm not really a suse user, so i'm not sure where those sasl config files are but i guess somewhere in /etc/courier/
Don't know if the is progress but... There doesn't seem to be any specific config details in the Perfect Server tutorial couldn't find a courier log but in "Messages" I got and error Code: could not chdir to: /var/run/sasl2/ No such file or Directory I created that directory but I'm not sure of the permissions or contents it should have but now saslauthd starts but The smtp server fails auth login with pam-mysql errors here's the message log...

I have SquirrelMail on the system too. With this I can log in to the mail box with the same details. Now where do I go?
I'm out of idea's, unless i can access the shell myself. I'd suggest you have a look at this document: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-11.1-ispconfig-3 Redo it from the start, double check if you have made any errors, typo's or skipped a step.
Hi Mark, I started a reinstall of the Postfix etc according to the tutorial but then discovered the cause of the problem. A bad sector on the disk. So I had better replace it. I had started to build a new server uning Suse 11.3 but didn't get as far as commissioning it. Is there any idiots guide to tell me how to migrate all the data from the ISPC3, mail, web, MySQL etc?
That's not that hard .. since all client data etc is in the database it makes it a lot easier nowadays to migrate to another server. - Install a new fresh server with ispconfig3 - Go to the old server .. - Make a complete databass dump .. Code: mysqladmin --all-databases > ~/database.sql - Import it on the new server .. Code: mysql < database.sql - Copy /var/www and /var/vmail from the old server to the new server. that's about it. it's not idiot proof i know, but it's almost weekend! ;-) also i don't know if there is already a migrate script. Maybe i'll write one some day..
Sounds like a breeze, Lets hope I finish before the weekend finishes. Thanks for all the help Regards Rick
Just take it one step at the time, take your time, and try to understand what you're actually doing so you'll learn from it .. ow and also, don't forget to grab a cold one now and then, it's weekend!!
Hi Mark, Monday night and still not finished! I have loaded the database from the old setup and all seems ok. How do I set up all the webx clienty user.group entries. I have to have that loaded before I can tar the web and mail data or the user.groups gets messed up. Rgds Rick
You need to check the following files on the old server: /etc/passwd /etc/group Those contain the web users and groups, you need to copy those to the other server. you can simply copy and paste the "web*" lines and paste them into /etc/passwd on the new server. The same for /etc/group but then the "client*" lines. Next step is to copy all the mailboxes and websites to the new server. Tar the dirs and then copy the tarballs to the other server and extract them. (I'm assuming you're logged in as root) To tar the websites: Code: tar -pczf websites.tar.gz /var/www/ To tar the mailboxes: Code: tar -pczf mailboxes.tar.gz /var/vmail/ Copy them to your other server: Code: scp websites.tar.gz newserver:/ scp mailboxes.tar.gz newserver:/ log into your new server: Code: cd / tar -zxfv websites.tar.gz tar -zxfv mailboxes.tar.gz
Thanks for that. Too many alligators in this swamp!!! Maybe it was an own goal but I updated the OS at the same time and there are some differences between the setup for SuSE11.1 and 11.3 I'll leave it some time for 11.4 to settle down before upgrading to that. Firstly, the websites cannot get data from MySQL I get an error: Code: Host 'xxx.co.uk' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server otherwise the apache, ispconfig and phpMyAdmin seem OK. & secondly, mail seems to be arriving ok but pop3 requests from the email client are not working. Squirrel mail is finding the mail. I cant see anything obvious in the logs, its lools like the requests are going nowhere. At least the SMTP is working which is why I started this whole process.
Is the MySQL server on the same server as the web sites? If so, you should configure your sites to connect to localhost instead of xxx.co.uk. What are the outputs of Code: netstat -tap and Code: iptables -L ?

Weird, Yast reported that Dovecot was set up for runlevel 3 & 5 but it wasn't running. I started it manually and it it returned "Success" I rebooted the system and it started normally.

Thanks for the help, Falko. regards Rick
Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)? Do you use Maildir or mailbox? Because Dovecot uses Maildir, but if mails arrive in mailbox, Dovecot doesn't find them.
