ooops upgrading buster -> bullseye

2022-07-24 Thread aces and eights
upgrading buster to bullseye answered "keep old config" to a few things now
roundcube is not working. Install I was using was from roundcube source not
debian.
I try to purge roundcube and start again,.
but there are messages.

apt install roundcube

I thought that the database was MarianDB but maybe not.
How do I get rid of what causes the error and start again ?

Re: For all specimens of Homo sapiens - about COVID19

2020-04-19 Thread aces and eights
a few things
The white house co-ordinator says "we don't have flu anymore".
It is difficult to believe the figures, states get 39 thousand dollars for
each Covid-19 death so they are putting Covid-19 down as cause of death
whatever the cause.
UK was doing the same thing as Sweden until the media went crazy and tried
to scare everybody then UK did a U-turn and imposed the lockdown.
The Swedish government virologists says if we never had flu and it turned
up suddenly the reaction would be the same but we live with old people
dying of flu all the time.
Problem is how you get out of a lockdown without going back to stage 1.
There are treatments for malaria that seem to stop the virus attacking the
red blood particles and affecting delivery of oxygen.
The elite types that want to control the society outside of the national
governments are ridiculing talk of these as they want to vaccinate
everybody.
Interesting times.

Re: printers

2018-12-14 Thread aces and eights
well I removed the http:// bit and it did something but who know what.
seems that this lpadmin administers the server and I thought would inform
client.
not working but there is a more urgent problem in that weirdly after typing.
lpadmin  -h 10.0.0.107:631 -d HP_LaserJet_4000_series"
php seems to have stopped working on server so no mail server
just displays the text.
there is error in apache2 error log
[php7:error] [pid 5733] [client 10.0.0.101:53579] PHP Fatal error:
Uncaught Error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in
/usr/share/roundcubemail-1.3.8/program/lib/Roundcube/html.php:357\nStack
trace:\n#0

so I don't know what goes on.

apt won't put config files back

2019-01-14 Thread aces and eights
hello,
after failing to get my roundcube dovecot installations to work again, as a
last resort I apt removed dovecot and also /etc/dovecot.
Thinking "that's OK apt will put them back."
except
"Not replacing deleted config file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf"
for all the conf files which is not very helpful.
Is there a way to persuade apt to put the config files back ?

apache2 error after upgrade Buster->Bookworm

2024-10-23 Thread aces and eights
this email may go anywhere.
After putting it off for ages I upgraded the PC that does Dovecot,
Roundcube and some other things from Buster to Bookworm.
There seems to be an error with apache2.
The apache2 index file I made as a page of links to things on the server.
Likely you are not supposed to do it that way.
A browser now offers to download this index.html instead of previously it
being presented by apache2.
So now the link to the roundcube webmail doesn't work. A browser offers to
download it.
Getmail, Dovecot seems to be getting the emails and putting them in the
correct Maildir directories.

although
$ apachectl configtest
Syntax OK

$ apache2 -V
[Wed Oct 23 08:57:39.760030 2024] [core:warn] [pid 4112:tid 4112] AH00111:
Config variable ${APACHE_RUN_DIR} is not defined
apache2: Syntax error on line 80 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
DefaultRuntimeDir must be a valid directory, absolute or relative to
ServerRoot
Server version: Apache/2.4.62 (Debian)

Line 80 is DefaultRuntimeDir ${APACHE_RUN_DIR}

uncommenting line 69 ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
and typing "source /etc/apache2/envvars" seems to have made "Config
variable ${APACHE_RUN_DIR} is not defined" go away.
I know I shouldn't type things without knowing what they do but source has
no manpage.

Likely it is something in the configuration files in /etc/apache2.
I wonder if there is something in the configuration affected by the
usrmerge.
Anybody had issues with apache2 upgrading from Buster to Bookworm?

OK, It will be some simple thing. I have the original install backed up
somewhere so will compare the configurations.
I found out what "source" does.
Thanks to Karl also for the Mutt, msmtp tips.
cheers
