[qmailtoaster] migration from qmailrocks to qmailtoaster
Hello, I am doing a migration from an old Mandriva 2005 and qmailrocks installation WITHOUT the use of MYSQL but with Vpopmail. My new machine is actually a QMT-iso version 1.0. I usually just transferred the mails in the old Maildir to the same place into the new machines Maildir, I understand that this wont work with qmt and mysql. Please advice me how to do this.

###
#zip up your old files and move them to the new server... gzip, zip, bzip2
whatever flavor you like
#i unzip the vpopmail directory from the old server and put it where it
goes.
# I unzip and untar the archive like this:
tar -xzvf domain.net.vpopmail.tar.gz
# change to the directory where it goes (move the files here if you unzipped
it elsewhere):
cd /home/vpopmail/domains/
#IMPORTANT THE PATH MUST BE CORRECT OR DELIVERY WILL FAIL
#you should edit the .vpasswd file to correct the paths to the mailboxes or
it won't work because mysql will have an incorrect location for the
toaster's mail files:
# use perl, sed or gsub to fix it; i like perl:
#syntax for single words
perl -pi -e's/oldinfo/newinfo/' file-to-work.on
#you have to use a \before the directory slashes so a path looks like
this:
perl -pi -e's/\/oldpath\/goes\/here/\/newpath\/goes\/here/' .vpasswd
#add them to mysql using the built-in converter (reads the vpasswd files and
imports it)
/var/bin/vconvert -c -m domain1.com
#(you can list more if you want just by using a space and then another
domain)
#get your vpopmail user password for the next step:
cat /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql | awk -F\| '{print $4}'
#export the mysql database and grep for the domain you added to see if it
imported (you'll need to know your vpopmail pass):
#(don't worry this just exports... drop is how you get rid of a database)
mysqldump -uvpopmail vpopmail -p | grep domain
#note - there seems to be an issue with the usercount after importing the
users and i haven't looked into it to fix it (other than manually editing
the table value)
#note as a separate reminder (not related to converting) - you may want to
compile with roaming users because it's not built by default by the toaster.
