question is:
is it a auth error or a file permission error...?

maybe have a look at the userdb... ?

are there no more logfile? auth.log or something?


/J

i don't understand a thing in the courier userdb:
kalman@domain.tld uid=1004|gid=8|home=/var/mail/virtual/domain.tld/kalman|shell=/bin/false|systempw=****************|mail=/var/mail/virtual/domain.tld/kalman

I think that the uid is the uid of vmail user, but vmail uid is 1000 :S

on my other server i found uid=1000 and uid=1004 too in the courier userdb :S

it depends what the uid of vmail is.

On my system it's 1001 - the default on ispcp now is 1004 but I installed ispcp yesterday and there it's also 1001...

But it should be always the same of course in one system.

So either change the uid in /etc/passwd or change the userdb (and the corresponding binary versions userdb*)

the vmail uid sghould be set correctly in /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf - otherwise you'll get exactly theese problems.

The vmail uid is wrong in the ispcp.conf.

If i changed the userdb than how can i update the binary?

I updated mail_users status and ran the /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-rqst-mngr. That was the solution. Thanks joximu.

Maybe in the downloadable version this variable can be empty and give en error if somebody forget to set it.

I think makeuserdb should do the job...

don't forget to copy your new userdb to /etc/ispcp/courier/working - otherwise you'll loose the changes...

I think that this was the problem whitch cause the internal error 500 when i created a new user (rau3.php)

well this is possible...
