Hello! I seem to have a weird problem, since google didn't find anything that could relate to my situation.
To give you a clear idea of my sistem, I installed qmail etc following this guide: http://dev.gentoo.org/~hollow/qmail-howto.xml and virtual domains send and receive mail pretty normally. Everything works, well, everything but... qmailadmin. And it's a problem, since we need an easy interface to admin mailing-lists pretty badly. I can reach the page all right, it's on https admin domain, with an .htaccess (hopefully) blocking spiders and scanners. But that's where my trip ends. No way to login. And nothing at all in any log I could think of (auth.log, dovecot.log, /var/log/qmail/*, /var/log/apache2/* you name it). It's as if it didn't even try... but it does, since I get a "no such user" answer (at least I suppose that's the english version, as apache sends me the russian version, which reads "Неверное имя регистрации"). This happens with all the domains I have. I DID check that the domain is in strings /var/qmail/users/cdb (yes it IS there and it must be, since mail works). Just in case, I decided to make sure that the postmaster account is alive and well. I added it in my Kmail and activated the highest level of logging verbosity ============================================ START LOG ============================================ Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=22408 Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=**.**.**.** rip=**.**.**.** lport=993 rport=42036 resp=blablabla= Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): vpopmail(postmas...@myvirtdomain.org,**.**.**.**): lookup user=postmaster domain=myvirtdomain.org Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=postmas...@myvirtdomain.org Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 3 20752 1 Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): vpopmail(postmas...@myvirtdomain.org,**.**.**.**): lookup user=postmaster domain=myvirtdomain.org Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 3 postmas...@myvirtdomain.org uid=89 gid=89 home=/var/vpopmail/domains/myvirtdomain.org/postmaster Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<postmas...@myvirtdomain.org>, method=PLAIN, rip=**.**.**.**, lip=**.**.**.**, TLS Sep 05 04:25:56 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=**.**.**.** rip=**.**.**.** lport=993 rport=42037 resp=moreblablabla== ================================================= END LOG ================================================= I also sent mail to the account and I came just fine. So this is not about passwords or bad accounts... where do I look next? Apache seems like the next suspect... in vhosts.d what I have is: ===================================== NameVirtualHost **.**.**.**:443 <VirtualHost **.**.**.**:443> ServerAdmin webmas...@myvirtdomain.org ServerName admin.myvirtdomain.org DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs <Directory /> Allow from All Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin"> Order allow,deny Allow from all AllowOverride All Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/myvirtdomain/admin/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/myvirtdomain/admin/access.log combined ServerSignature On </VirtualHost> ========================================== turning loglevel to debug doesn't add anything to the process. What I don't seem to understand is why I don't see a failed IMAP login in the dovecot log... Berto !DSPAM:4aa1d30932711850612146!
