Hi, I have a debian 8+ISPC3.1 combo, more or less working well. The email system was working too, except I had to remove some newly added (by me) rbls, because it rejected all incoming mails. After I removed these rbls, I got it working again. So, I decided to create mailman mailing lists. Mailman installed prior to ispconfig, followed the perferct server howto. After some unsuccessful attempts to get it work, I found that, the MAIL section under the Server config almost wiped completely. I wrote almost, because only the combo box has values, nothing else. All input fields are empty, wiped out. So, it seems I have a dangerous situation. Of course, I do not remember the default values Maildir Path is empty. Invalid maildir path. Homedir Path is empty. Invalid homedir path. Mailuser uid must be >= 2000 Mailuser gid must be >= 2000 Mailuser Name is empty. Invalid mailuser name. Mailuser Group is empty. Invalid mailuser group name. Uid-mapping cannot be changed if there are already mail users. So, could you give me a hint, how to bring it to life, without scr*wing the server? Thanks, István UPDATE: I also messed (played) with Global whitelist, if it does matter, seems working fine (senders whitelisted, spam filtered).
Check if you have any ispconfig backups in /var/backup. Thre should be backups in case that you updates ispconfig at least once in the past.
Thank you Till, I checked, /var/backup is empty. I played with with the config in the beginning, so, it should contain something. This is an other story Anyway, I found the default values inside the installation package, so, I was able to get the right values. Now I only have the following problem, when I try to save the config panel: Uid-mapping cannot be changed if there are already mail users. It is true, sites, email domains, email boxes, email aliases are populated with live data, but I did not get it, which parameter triggers this check and reject saving the data.
It contains only a backup if you made an ispconfig update and selected to create a backup during the update. the setting to map the mailbox user to the web uid.
Ok, correct, this action did not happen, it is almost a fresh installation. I though it, only confusion, it does not matter I set or unset the checkbox, the error message remains the same. May I ask, where do you store these information in the database? I started to browse the database, but I did not find the relevant table yet. Thnx.
in the server table, it is an ini style config. the field is named config or data if I remember correctly.
I got it, I read the content of the config field. Thank you! UPDATE: Oh boy, I cannot see separator. Even it seems the complete email section is missing. Question: how can I check if this set to True or False? I checked the /var/vmail directory, everything are set to owner vmail. If I can figure out, I can disable the trigger and save the configuration.
