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:

Doing a 'ls –al' in

the following:

drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 25 17:44 postmaster
drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 25 17:43 supriyo
It may be of interest that when I added a new domain and 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….

Hi,
I'm not a guru.. but try this:
1. run this command a few times over and over (3 or 4 times):
$ chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw /home/vpopmail/domains/
2. the this one:
$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
3. delete your browser's cookies. they may hold invalid info from your
own domain and thus making login failures.
See if that above helped.
