I have decided to give this howto a try after much trouble with the fedora version. Now I have an even more elementry problem. How do I get putty to copy/paste? Currently I can copy from local (fedora machine) but when I goto right click to copy to remote (putty) nothing happens. The remote machine is a debian sarge box. Regards Fred
I pulled out the very old windows laptop and installed putty on that, so I have managed to get putty working so I can continue. I would like to get putty working properly on my fedora machine though. I have a problem with the very first line of the howto. apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authmysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl postfix-tls libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl phpmyadmin The error I get is: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package postfix-mysql is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package postfix-mysql has no installation candidate Does anyone have any thoughts. Regards Fred
are you using the correct guide? http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_a_lamp_system_with_fedora_core_6 is the one you should be using if you're trying to work with Fedora Core 6
The guide I am using is: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier It says it is a debian guide. I am installing on Debian Sarge. The client I am having difficulty using putty with is a FC6 machine. I now have putty operating on an XP laptop. Regards Fred
Well it took a fair bit of sorting out, but I worked out what I hadn't done. You MUST do a apt-get update before you start to install anything. Regards Fred
Well I got as far as page 4 before I got an error. I modified the /etc/spamassassin/local.cf as shown. Ran /etc/init.d/amavis restart Error: Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 836, near "'SELECT "Y" as local FROM domains WHERE CONCAT("@",domain) IN (%k)';" (failed). I re-checked the line and it is as per the instructions. Does anyone have any thoughts. Regards Fred
You have switched the ; and ' at the end of the statement. The ; is part of the MySQL syntax and should be within the quotes.
I have altered the line to read as follows: $sql_select_policy = 'SELECT "Y" as local FROM domains WHERE CONCAT("@",domain) IN (%k);' I now get the following error: Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: Scalar found where operator expected at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 849, near "$sql_select_white_black_list" (Missing semicolon on previous line?) Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 849, near "$sql_select_white_black_list " (failed). The line at 849 reads: $sql_select_white_black_list = undef; # undef disables SQL white/blacklisting It would have been easier if this howto could have been cut and paste via putty properly. If I pasted from the howto into the remote (putty) it puts it all on one very long line. So it took me some 3 hours to go through it line be line between the howto and what was on the server for that one file. Anyways, hopefully someone can help further with my problem. Regards Fred
You should add another ; at the end of the line (836?). Every command should be terminated with a semicolon also. Sorry, I should have been more careful with my initial response.
I have now altered the line to read: $sql_select_policy = 'SELECT "Y" as local FROM domains WHERE CONCAT("@",domain) IN (%k);'; The error I how get is: Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 836, near "'SELECT "Y" as local FROM domains WHERE CONCAT("@",domain) IN (%k);';" (failed). Regards Fred
Well I have managed to get it all up and running. I copied and pasted the contents of the new /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf to a file on another machine and copied it over the file on the debian server. It would appear that I had a number of typos in that file. Many thanks to those whom offer their assistance. Thanks for the howto in the first place. Now to go play, backing up the system first of course. Regards Fred
