====

Hello, so my friend told me to use iRedMail if i wan't mail's, i tried, i've reinstalled from ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Debian 7 32 bit minimal and started fresh install, did like it says on iredmail wiki.

Result?
As pastebin shows, some problems with mysql, im not pro with UNIX and all that linux stuff so it would be really great if you provide me information for dummie tongue

When i run

service mysqld status

- it says it doesnt recognize that service (because it didn't finish installation - so it's not there)

If you need me to provide anything  else - let me know. Thanks!

Re: MySQL won't install

It was caused by package conflict, MySQL server was not installed successfully. You should remove 'mysql-server' BEFORE installing iRedMail.
