Hi Marc, 1. Some examples may not updated. Take care...
2. mailrepositorystore.xml is not about your mailbox (see http://james.apache.org/server/3/feature-persistence.html, we are open for any new name...). Did you find mailbox.xml? You will need to change database.properties to setup you MySQL connection. If you want to store mails in MySQL, which path are you looking for?
Yes, we need to fix the links to the examples... Thx, Eric On 30/10/11 15:20, Marc Chamberlin wrote:
Having gotten James up an running (hopefully) on Eclipse, I have turned my attention to configuring the beta1 version and got part way before hitting the next snag, actually 2 snags so far... 1. For most of the .xml configuration files, I found the corresponding examples under container-spring>src>main>config>examples and since I like having embedded comments/documentation in the actual config files that I will be working with, I have been copying the examples over the top of the actual configuration files and then making appropriate modifications for my environment. That worked fine until I got to the mailetcontainer.xml file, where I found the example version to be remarkably different from the version I had copied from container-spring>src>main>config>James to my conf folder. So, can I use the example version as a starting point, or have things gotten out of sync and I must use the version that I originally copied over to my conf directory? The example version seems to be a lot easier to grok and understand/guess on parameter values, and eventually I am going to want to bring in the mailets/matchers I am currently using in my James 2.3 server... and it appears that it will make more sense to use the example version, for example adding in the ability to use the clam anti-virus process as well as the mail list handlers.... 2. I am confused about how to set up the mail store configuration also. The file - mailrepositorystore.xml seems to be defining the possible different methods, but it seems to be incomplete. I just want to use the file store method for storing the actual emails, spam, etc., and will just use MySQL for the various mail list users (eventually). But I do not see where/how one specifies the actual path to set the root directory of the file system where the mail is to be stored. The documentation in the Users Manual alludes to it, but either I am not finding a good example showing the details, or I am missing something.. I did find another configuration file - mailbox.xml which seems to be where one makes the selection on storage method, but again I am not grokking it because I don't see how I am suppose to select the file storage method... So I am lost and need a friendly guide... Incidentally, all the links to the example .xml files, from the various user manual pages on the James web site are broken... Someone might want to fix them.... Thanks again in advance for any help offered... hopefully my experiences in setting up James will help other more knowledgeable types make improvements in the James documentation also...
