Having followed the instructions in doc/setting_up.txt -liberally, I

make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/', and the binaries
therefore end up in /var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/usr/cyrus/bin/, the
configuration that Cassandane writes out refers to binaries in
/var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/bin/, a directory that does not exist.
It seems that this feature is currently broken, sorry :(
However if you follow section 4 in that document precisely, it should
work.
I'd love to, but I don't want to mess with the system installation on
'/', if you will. I also want to be able to do the same thing over and
over again with multiple versions of Cyrus IMAP. I recon just creating
the symbolic link /var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/bin/ ->
/var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/usr/cyrus/bin/ is the workaround for now then.
$ cat /var/tmp/cass/cassandane/conf/cyrus.conf
START {
# integrity check and setup of databases
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -C
/var/tmp/cass/cassandane/conf/imapd.conf
-r"
This is a bug, it should have been a full path to ctl_cyrusdb. Today
I
pushed some changes from a development branch which should fix that.
- When /var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/bin/ is created a symbolic link for,
to
/var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4/usr/cyrus/bin/, Cyrus IMAP / Cassandane
ultimately fails authenticating. I recon this is a Cyrus SASL thing,
but
I was wondering whether Cassandane requires the system to have a
valid
SASL configuration with an 'admin' user, whether any additional
users
would be required, and whether it could be made so that no such
system-wide configuration is required (by starting an SASL auth
daemon
with a different user database then the system database?).
Cassandane relies on the no-password hack in libsasl which is enabled
using
sasl_pwcheck_method: alwaystrue
which might not be available on your build of libsasl?
Cool, that's good to know. I'll find it out and make sure Fedora + RHEL
will have this in the future.
Kind regards,
