Hi, I'm running vpopmail on a FreeBSD box. I've just installed it from scratch through ports with the following options:
-DWITH_MYSQL -DWITH_MYSQL_LARGE_SITE -DWITH_MYSQL_LIMITS \ -DWITH_IP_ALIAS -DHARDQUOTA=10000000 -DLOGLEVEL=y -DWITH_MYSQL_LOG \ -DWITH_MYSQL_SERVER=my.server.com -DWITH_MYSQL_USER=vpopmail \ -DWITH_MYSQL_PASSWD=**** -DWITH_MYSQL_DB=vpopmail However, when installed it doesn't seem to recognize my DB parameters. When I try adding a domain I get: # bin/vadddomain mydomain.com **** could not connect to mysql update server Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) with database could not connect to mysql update server Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) vmysql: sql error[c]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[b]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[c]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[c]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[b]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[2]: MySQL server has gone away Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/users directory Apparently it tries to use an unnamed database on the localhost mysql-server. Since I run a separate DB server, it cannot connect to the localhost db server as it is not running. Any clues? Is there some parameters I could add to increase the logging? Cheers Nik
