Topic: iRedMail with MySQL not working

I'm trying to install  iRedMail-0.8.6 with MySQL(I successfully installed it with LDAP with no problem) however after installing it I'm unable to use RoundCube and login to it. iRedMail seems successfully installed and I can login in the admin panel, but for ordinary users the webmail from RoundCube is unaccessible. The error message that RoundCube displays is:

Connection to storage server failed.

When looking in the logs - mail.err I see the following:

IMAP Error: Login failed for xxx@xxx.com from 37.xxx.xxx.xxx. Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:143

I will be thankful for any feedback!



==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: iRedMail-0.8.6
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  MySQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:

No, the dovecat log is completely empty. I see only this message in mail.err

Re: iRedMail with MySQL not working

No idea yet, cannot help without related log.
Not sure whether it's caused by incomplete/failed iRedMail installation, I suggest reinstall OS and iRedMail if possible.

Re: iRedMail with MySQL not working

I will try. The thing is that I already did this with brand new installation of ubuntu and iRedmail. In between I installed it with LDAP and it worked perfectly. Only with mysql it will not start. There is one more thing in the mail.err log I forgot to paste:

Connection refused in /usr/share/apache2/roundcubemail-0.9.5/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 184 (POST /mail/?_task=login&_action=login)
May 22 12:02:21 ip-10-50-47-70 postfix/pipe[20418]: fatal: get_service_attr: unknown username: vmail

Re: iRedMail with MySQL not working

Actually, after restarting dovecot the dovecot.log now says

May 22 12:53:38 master: Fatal: service(dict) User doesn't exist: vmail (See service dict { unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/dict { user } } setting)

also I checked if I can tellnet 143 for IMAP and it was unsuccessful. It probably has something to do with the above error message and user vmail?

I think it has something to do with the missing vmail user as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showth … amp;page=2 but I'm not sure what's the correct way to configure it.

Re: iRedMail with MySQL not working

Looks like SQL user "vmail" was not created. It should be created during iRedMail installation. I suggest you try to re-install OS and iRedMail again, and check all terminal output. Save all output, if iRedMail doesn't work as expected, paste saved output here so that others can help troubleshoot.
