RE: [qmailtoaster] Site to Site QT Server Replication - 24 hours
Hi Gabriel, you need to make sure that the port number you specify in the run file is the one you try and connect to. The one that is set in the qmail.prf file must match the /unison/unison -socket line in unison-run. On the primary confirm that the /root/.unison/qmail.prf file has the correct ip and socket. On the secondary, can you confirm the unison-run script matches what is on the wiki, or paste the contents here. Does the /unison/unison -socket line have the at the end? What happens on secondary if you manually run the above line. So at command type /unison/unison -socket and then enter on the blank line. If that runs, do ps -ef|grep unison and you should get a line similar to root 24608 1 0 12:28 pts/100:00:00 /unison/unison -socket Let me know what that does, the primary error will definately be down to the socket not running. As for socket number you can use anything so long as they match and aren't on a known used socket. e.g. 6576 _ From: Gabriel Lai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 February 2007 05:35 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Site to Site QT Server Replication - 24 hours Hi Craig, I manage to redo the testing after so long you replied the email :) The error I got was extracted out from Primary Server, it says Contacting to server.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Site to Site QT Server Replication - 24 hours
Hi Craig, I manage to get it works by manually issue the below commands: Secondary Serv: /unison/unison -socket 1234 Primary Server: /unison/./qmai-replicatec It works! I checked thru the logfile created by unison (unisonlog.full) i can see the process being taken place. But it just don't start it with /unison/unison start command. 2) After everything was replicated from Primary to Secondary, I can see that every folders in /vpopmail/domains/abc.com/user's mailbox are copied to secondary server. however, when I use webmail access to user's account on Secondary server, it don't allow me to login, it says Username or Password are wrong. So I check thru vqadmin and found that, users that are created in Primary, doesn't shown on Secondary server vqadmin. Seems like mysql database was not replicated. How to do so? Please assist.
