Hi all when running the commands Code: apt-get install binutils cpp cpp-4.0 fetchmail flex gcc gcc-4.0 libarchive-zip-perl libc6-dev libcompress-zlib-perl libdb4.3-dev libpcre3 libpopt-dev linux-kernel-headers lynx m4 make ncftp nmap openssl perl perl-modules unzip zip zlib1g-dev autoconf automake1.9 libtool bison autotools-dev g++ I get this, Code: Couldn't find package zliblg-dev I took the following package out and it installed, is zliblg-dev needed how do i install it, I edited the sources.list like it said on the forum when i did a search for ncftp TT
allso when running Code: chmod 666 /var/lib/named/dev/null /var/lib/named/dev/random from the section I get the following error Code: chmod: cannot access '/var/lib/named/dev/random' : No such file or directory I'm following this step by step TT
That is zlib1g-dev - zed ell eye bee one gee, not ell gee. Regarding your second error, just prior to that the instructions mkdir /var/lib/named/dev create the /var/lib/named/dev folder, then the mknod instructions create the null and random devices in that folder. I suggest you check if they exist. If not, repeat until they do.
my system seems to have ramdom worked for me I think theres a typo on that page cant seem to copy and paste my command line from Putty to post to here, I'm using a GUI Ubuntu system TT
To install zlib1g-dev, simply type the following when logged in as root apt-get install zlib1g-dev where the fifth character of the name is the number 1 (one) not lowercase L (ell). Typo on the page? Not on my copy of the Internet. 'ramdom' is useless to you, it must be 'random' , so recreate them.
Ok I went and did this all again, I dont seem to have any errors this time round. So were do i go next, I haven't install ispconf How can i test the mail server, is it possable to test it using another PC on my next work using Evolution I see mutt it not installed, I dont know of any other way to test the mail server. TT
Create a mail account, either with ISPConfig, or if you don't want to install ISPConfig, like this: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2 Afterwards you can test with Evolution (sending/receiving).
Thank you falko I'll get onto to it soon some time tonight, I have to go to work now thanks for the help TT
Cool, I dont have to start work till later So I gave it ago, but I think some thing is wrong /etc/postfix/local-host-names I dont seem to have that file or this file /etc/postfix/virtusertable Code: root@rockinghamgateway:/etc/postfix# ls dynamicmaps.cf main.cf master.cf postfix-files postfix-script post-install prng_exch sasl ssl Here is what I typed in on the command line Code: root@rockinghamgateway:~# useradd -d /home/tommytomato -g users tommytomato root@rockinghamgateway:~# passwd tommytomato Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully root@rockinghamgateway:~# postconf -e 'virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable' root@rockinghamgateway:~# postconf -e 'mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names' root@rockinghamgateway:~# postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable postmap: fatal: open /etc/postfix/virtusertable: No such file or directory Post fix seem to start ok Code: root@rockinghamgateway:~# /etc/init.d/postfix restart * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ ok ] * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ ok ] root@rockinghamgateway:~# Have I missed some thing along the way Evolution gives me this error TT
You must create both files, as shown in http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2 . In /etc/postfix/local-host-names, you must list your domains, and in /etc/postfix/virtusertable, you fill in the email addresses for which the server should be able to receive emails.
Lucky I allmost gave up for the night and gone to watch Red Warf I created those two files and added the stuff needed. Should I run though that again. Question I already added the user in would it matter by adding it again TT
Well anyway I'm trying it again I ran the command Code: postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable And I get this message Code: postmap: fatal: open /etc/postfix/virtusertable: No such file or directory Now the file is there with 0644 as the permissons TT
Did you create /etc/postfix/virtusertable (e.g. with a text editor such as vi)? What's the output of Code: ls -la /etc/postfix ?
I created the file using Winscp3 Code: root@rockinghamgateway:~# ls -la /etc/postfix total 92 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-06-11 20:20 . drwxr-xr-x 69 root root 4096 2007-06-12 07:17 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 318 2007-06-10 14:49 dynamicmaps.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53 2007-06-11 20:09 local-host-names -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1752 2007-06-11 20:20 main.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4011 2007-06-10 14:49 master.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17562 2006-06-08 16:22 postfix-files -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6836 2006-06-08 16:22 postfix-script -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22018 2006-06-08 16:22 post-install -rw------- 1 root root 1024 2007-06-10 15:03 prng_exch drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-06-10 14:52 sasl drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-06-10 14:57 ssl -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 2007-06-11 20:10 virtusertable TT
I hope you saved virtusertable with Unix linebreaks, not Windows linebreaks? If you edit the file on Windows, you must use an editor that allows you to save files with Unix linebreaks. Does the postmap command work now?
So you saying I should create the file using vi instead of a windows base program. I'll give it another go TT
Yes the command Code: postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable vi wouldn't let me save the file, but vim did So where do i go now TT
Ok here is what i've done I sent an email to the admin account on the server, it has recive the mail by the looks of it I now have a /home/admin/Maildir When using Evolution to contect I recive this message Now when i followed the 2nd step you pointed me too I added a user called tommytomato, I sent an email to the so call address and that bonced back, Evolution mail gives me this message on the bottom From: Mail Delivery System <[email protected]> So I'm not sure on whats going on there, but I think its the way the user was added, admin was added when I did the install and the tommytomato was added when I typed in Code: useradd -d /home/tommytomato -g users tommytomato TT
What's the output of Code: ls -la /home/tommytomato ? I can ping rockinghamgateway.com. Is 58.7.0.171 the correct IP address?
