Linux Mail Server Setup and Howto Guide

Post edited 3:26 am – December 2, 2009 by semag

Hello, I'm having a Postfixadmin install issue:

I've successfully followed and installed “Linux Mail Server Setup and Howto Guide”

which includes :

Postfix

Dovecot

SMTP Auth

SquirrelMail

Firewall settings

MailScanner

Clam Antivirus

Active Directory (I skipped this)

Great instructions! Every thing seems to work great

Now I followed the PostfixAdmin setup accordingly and when I go to setup postfixadmin// http://localhost/postfixadmin/setup.php

I get a blank page

I don't see anything in messages or maillog as to why?

  Any suggestions please

 Tks

  Paul

Yes once again you were correct, lots to learn!

I didn't know about that error log..

syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /usr/share/postfixadmin/config.inc.php on line 115

Thanks

Paul

Sorry I didn't follow up on status

Yes I corrected line missing ']' on line 116.  Thanks

Now I feed stupid, another problem/ question:

In following the instructions for Postfix, Dovecot, SMTP auth, Squirrelmail, Mailscanner, and Clam AV (I sqipped Active Directory) It seems as though I installed Postfix without MYSQL.

I since added PostfixAdmin and now want to use Virtual Users but it looks like I should have used Postfix with MYSQL compiled? What's the best way to recompile Postfix with MYSQL?

Centos 5

Postfix mail_version = 2.3.3

Do I need to uninstall and start over?

Tks

Paul

Good thanks, followed great instructions and installed Postfix with mysql support and configured accordingly. But I am getting an error in my maillog that I cannot figure out and I have checked other forums but can't find anything that makes sense.

Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

(Still learning, thanks for your great support)

Paul (aka: Semag)

You are truely amazing! The steps you just added to your "How To" documentation did confirm that I had the wrong password in the mysql-*.cf files, but I wasn't sure because I've been bouncing between two different sets of errors  and wasn't sure when I had it right.    THANKS for that…

I'm close, my other error is:

Dec 19 09:37:53 server1 postfix/virtual[32398]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/mysql-users.cf: Permission denied
Dec 19 09:37:54 server1 postfix/master[32303]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/virtual pid 32398 exit status 1
Dec 19 09:37:54 server1 postfix/master[32303]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/virtual: bad command startup — throttling

Does this have to do with the 'vmail' user?  Everything looks ok

Thanks,

Paul

Didn't work, as I had it disabled

After rebooting postfix and dovecot I also got this error

Dec 19 20:39:49 server1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to localhost (postfix): Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost' (using password: YES) – waiting for 1 seconds before retry

and

Dec 19 20:39:49 server1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to localhost (postfix): Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost' (using password: YES) – waiting for 1 seconds before retry

Think I got it:

I changed mysql-users.cf and the other two [mysql-alias.cf, and mysql-domains.cf] to be

-rw-r—–   1 root:postfix
