Re: [vchkpw] vconvert deletes qmailadmin-limits?
Fwiw.. I did the reverse dumped my mysql stuff to cdb before the upgrade just in case.. and it did the same thing too after the upgrade.. removed all the .qmailadmin-limits.. I assumed it was somethng that I must have not read in the docs and didn't submit a bug report. - Brian Jeff Koch wrote: Hi: We transferred 600 domains and about 5000 mail accounts from a server using vpopmail with cdb to a new server using the latest 5.4.0 built with mysql for auth but no mysql aliases or limits. After untarring the domains.tgz file and copying over the /qmail/control and /qmail/assign files we ran 'vconvert -c -m' and after the conversion we found vconvert had deleted all of the '.qmailadmin-limits' files. Is this a known bug or did we do something stupid? Our configure directives were: ./configure --enable-logging=v --enable-clear-passwd --enable-auth-module=mysql --disable-mysql-limits --enable-mysql-logging Best Regards, Jeff Koch

Re: [vchkpw] Vconvert failure
Thanks Michael and X-istence, I thought that the lastest was 5.2.1 since this was the lastest reported on inter7.com website. I've tried 5.2.2 and vconvert works like a charm... Thanks!

Re: [vchkpw] Vconvert / converting / migrating woes....
Hi, Harry Zink wrote: Alright, thanks for the tips on vconvert - I have, in the meantime, found out that it is one of the worst documented utilities. Heck, not even inter7 has a decent man page for it. I think that vconvert -c -m domain.name will do the trick, though (or just vconvert -c -m for all domains). That's where the present 'rub' is, though. The scenario: - I have the new server, set up with qmail-toaster, and vpopmail 5.38, qmailadmin 1.06. All configured for mysql. - I have data from the legacy server, with standard cdb files in the vpopmail configuration without mysql. So, while obviously I can just drop over the content of /home/vpopmail/domains into the new location, that doesn't really convince qmail to see any of those domains, and consequently vconvert doesn't see them either. So: - what else, besides dropping the content of /domains/ in place, do I need to do / copy over from the prior installation in order for the domains to be recognized by qmail, qmailadmin, and hence vconvert? You also need /var/qmail/control/* and /var/qmail/users/* And make sure the uid and gid in the /var/qmail/users/assign file matches the uid and gid for vpopmail and vchkpw on the new server.

Re: [vchkpw] vconvert
Hi, It does support /etc/passwd to cdb, that is for sure. I use it all the time to convert old sendmail installations to qmail. Bit of a drag having to replace the passwd file though, I wish it could read from another file in passwd format. From reading through the source it appears to use built in functions, limiting you to the real /etc/passwd file. I know this doesn't help with your MySQL import, but it does work passwd - cdb.

Re: [vchkpw] vconvert problem - ignoring one user
The - in the domain name should not matter. I would suggest running vconvert in gdb and walk through the how it processes that one domain. Then you can see what is going on.
