RE: [HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot - robmorin - 08-15-2008 01:23 AM So if i migrate over to Dovcot, when i update to RC6 or whatever version in the future of ISPCP, will it be compatible? Meaning will the upgrade process know i am using Dovcot rather than Courier, or will it install courier again or just crap out? Thanks... Rob.. Thanks,,,, aseques Wrote:Hi, I found that when regenerating the configs there is also the master.cf regenerated and also the main.cf.

Meaning will the upgrade process know i am using Dovcot rather than Courier, or will it install courier again or just crap out?I upgraded several installations, having completely wiped out courier. There are some non-fatal errors on the ispcp-update due to some folders not find (normal considering there's no courier anymore) and It will upgrade everything as appropiate. It would be practical tough ,to have the templates for postfix, with the changes in the wiki so when the main config gets regenerated, it will still be working. I'd post them anywhere I could, but it doesn't seem possible here neither in the wiki. If you want I can pass them to you.

Furthermore, as I'm discusing whit RaTS in this thread, there's no easy way to reload the config from the templates, so people would get confused not knowing how to convert the templates to the config files they'd need. If it appears a way to do the regeneration of the postfix configuration or at least the variable replacement for the templates I'd be happy to update the wiki in consequence. RE: [HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot - robmorin - 08-18-2008 09:28 PM Thanks guys, its not a big deal to modify the postifix conf each time, since there i snot allot to modify to begin with..... Thanks for the advice and info... Have a super day..

I try to delete some email accounts but i get "Unknown error". Looking in the db mail_users it says: sys_command() | ERROR: External command '/usr/sbin/makeuserdb' returned '72057594037927935' status ! I figured out that makeuserdb is no longer present on my system. Hence, it's part of courier and according to the wiki 13. Remove courier packages... it has been deleted too. The solution for me was to reinstall courier. Apart that, with dovecot i am not able to receive emails, maillog says "unknown user". I tried quite a lot of things and settings but nothing worked. I'm about to give up and remove dovecot. RE: [HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot - aseques - 08-25-2008 10:11 PM noel Wrote:I figured out that makeuserdb is no longer present on my system.

The solution for me was to reinstall courier.You probably purged all the files (/etc/courier/* ) or removed also courier-authlib-userdb that is the only required package to be in your system Quote:Apart that, with dovecot i am not able to receive emails, maillog says "unknown user". I tried quite a lot of things and settings but nothing worked. I'm about to give up and remove dovecot. If you enable debugging in dovecot, you'll get a really useful output, here you can find the parameters to enable it. RE: [HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot - sci2tech - 09-24-2008 01:28 AM To make dovecot work with new encripted passwords in database modify dovecot. conf in Quote:base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/. Save attached file as /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dovecot-mngr and make it executable (chmod 0755 /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dovecot-mngr). restart dovecot and enjoy.
