Hello, I installed Cyrus-Imap and Cyrus-sasl on a Linux/SuSE 7.3 platform (on a PC) with the SuSE RPM's and it works without problem (or almost).
Now I want to have a backup server baut I only have a Apple/G3 available. I installed on it SuSE7.3PPC. Installation went without problem like on the PC but when I want to make the configurations (new folders, etc) then starts the problems. server: #cyradmin -u cyrus localhost ===> nothing happens, no error messages, nothing in the log files, nothing, nothing. Of course, user cyrus exists with unix and sasl passwords and the /etc/imapd.conf is the same as on the PC. There must a problem with the SuSE7.3 RPM's but which one? Thus I'll have to install Cyrus-IMAP from the sources. I read: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP-6.html I'll install the latest cyrus-imapd-2.1.4 and the latest cyrus-imap except if someone does advice it. Problem the web-page seems a little old Is there a newer manual for installation. ./configure --with-auth=unix ===> do you confirma that make depend make all CFLAGS=-O make install =====> do you confirme that? Edit /etc/syslog.conf and add the following lines at the bottom: local6.debug /var/adm/imapd.log auth.debug /var/adm/auth.log Here I'm a little lost because these lines did not exist in the SuSE7.3 installation (all the log where in /var:log/messages). Are they necessary? Edit a new file /etc/imapd.conf and place in it the following lines: configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus root ===> srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab <==== allowanonymouslogin: no sasl_passwd_check: shadow A little lost too, these line did not exist in the SuSE installation: what's the use of it? 7.2 Creating the necessary directories This list of instructions will set up all the directories necessary for imap. mkdir /var/adm touch /var/adm/imapd.log /var/adm/auth.log mkdir /var/imap /var/spool/imap /var/imap/srvtab I am a little lost with the mkdir /var/adm directory. Use of it touch /var/adm/imapd.log /var/adm/auth.log I am used with the bash shell. I suppose I must create an empty fils imapd.log and auth.log. Is it useful? chattr +S . user quota user/* quota/* =====> chattr??? This installation HowTo seems a littlle outdated or I am wrong? Thank you for anu suggestion. -- Alain Barth�lemy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bartydeux.gminformatique.com
