Hi list, While trying to migrate users from my old Qmailtoaster server
(containing around 10 domains) which was running on Redhat Liinux 9.0, to a new
server running Centos 4.3, and the latest Qmail Toaster packages, I have run
into some problems as described below: I used Jake’s backup script to take the backup from
my old server, on which the UID:GID of vpopmail
was 7797:7797. Then I did a manual install of QMT on my new server which was successful.
Then I transferred the ‘curlfile’ containing the backup of the old server
to the new server’s root
directory. Then from the home directory of my user account, as ‘root’
user, I executed the restore script (again from Jake’s site). I must
mention here that in Jake’s restore script, I had enabled the line that
converted the old aliases to the new format. I must also mention here that the mysql root
password in my old server and the new server are not same. I guess there is no
harm as such!? Likewise, initially, the vpopmail
database passwords, in both my servers were also dissimilar, but later on I
changed that in my new server to the same password as in the old one. When the restoration was complete, I logged on to VQADMIN
and I could see all the domains and the users within, with their respective
password (in plain text) were being displayed correctly. However, when I tried using
QMAILADMIN, I was not able to login to any of the domains using any of the
accounts – either user account or the postmaster account. It just
displayed “Invalid Login” even after I successfully changed the passwords
from the terminal (using the executables in ‘/home/vpopmail/bin’). I was also unable to log in to any of the e-mail accounts using
POP3 (mail clients) or IMAP (Webmail). The error I received while trying to
login to webmail was: ERROR:
Connection dropped by IMAP server. The ‘/var/log/qmail/imap4/current’ log showed: 2006-04-28

new user to my new QMT server, I was able to use/access both QMAILADMIN and
webmail for the new domain/user without any problem. I will be looking forward to your help in resolving these
issues. Thanking you in anticipation…. Supriyo Banerjee |
