Cyrus-IMAPD users...question
I want to ask the current FreeBSD cyrus-imapd users a few questions. Was just curious for anyone out there, who is running cyrus on FreeBSD, did you install the software through the ports tree? What DB version are you running? Are you exepriencing any DB problems? I've been doing a lot of testing lately with Cyrus and FreeBSD 4.9. I've run into a few snags and im trying to gather more information. With that in mind, I was hoping to get some feedback and suggestions regarding installing Cyrus on FreeBSD...anything anyone has to offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Installing Cyrus on FreeBSD and getting it to play nicely with SpamAssassin was such a complete pain in the neck that I documented the heck out of every single step I took to make it all work.

Hi! > Was just curious for anyone out there, who is running cyrus on FreeBSD, did > you install the software through the ports tree? Yes. I'm currently running Cyrus-IMAPD 2.0.17 installed from ports. > What DB version are you running? # pkg_info | grep db db3-3.3.11,1The Berkeley DB package, revision 3 > Are you exepriencing any DB problems? The only problems I've had happened during upgrading. I've upgraded cyrus-imapd twice on this server, which also implied upgrading cyrus-sasl and db3. And both times after the upgrade the SASL database where passwords are kept was unreadable, which meant users couldn't log in. Seems like the newer cyrus-sasl (built with newer db3) couldn't read the database created with the older version. First time when it happened I just created new passwords for all users (a lot of hassle!). The second time I somehow got it working after 8 hours of mucking around, but by the end of it I was so stoned that I really don't know *what* I did to get it working. Now I seriously fear the day I might need to upgrade Cyrus again. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Boy, that lightning came a little clo-!!***NO CARRIER ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
