Hello List,
We have been unable to alter the script correctly in qtp-backup so it
will backup the mysql vpopmail database as the user root with our root
password.
We have tried making some changes to the following files, but have not
gotten everything right because it still is not working:
/usr/sbin/qtp-config
/usr/sbin/qtp-backup
/opt/qmailtoaster-plus/bin/qtp-config
/opt/qmailtoaster-plus/bin/qtp-backup
/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
Can someone please tell us specifically which file(s) we need to
change and specifically which lines to change (with an example of what
we should change it to) so it will not prompt for the vpopmail user
password but use the specified root password?
Also, we would like to have it back up automatically each day. Do we
just need to add the following line in our /etc/crontab file to make
it run at 4 am each day:
*4 * * * root /usr/sbin/qtp-backup
Thank you in advance
It should not ask for the password. It will read it from
/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
You need to run the script as the root user so that it can read the data
from the file.
If you are still having problems you can edit the
/opt/qmailtoaster-plus/bin/qtp-backup file, and change these lines:
# MYSQL variables
mysqlfile="/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql";
mysqlhost=`cut -d\| -f1 < $mysqlfile`;
mysqlport=`cut -d\| -f2 < $mysqlfile`;
mysqluser=`cut -d\| -f3 < $mysqlfile`;
mysqlpswd=`cut -d\| -f4 < $mysqlfile`;
mysqldb=`cut -d\| -f5 < $mysqlfile`;
Just change mysqlhost to mysqlhost="localhost"
mysqluser to mysqluser="root"
mysqlpswd to mysqlpswd="password"
mysqldb to mysqldb="vpopmail"
