Re: Install problem iredmail

Does it work if you replace 'stable' by 'wheezy' in the first 'deb' line?

Re: Install problem iredmail

I changed from stable to wheezy still with same problem. mysql will not start which i think is causing the problem with the iredmail install. i see this error trying to start mysql manually

Re: Install problem iredmail

InnoDB should be one of built-in storage engine, not sure why it failed.
Do you have mysql packages installed before installing iRedMail? You can check it with 'dpkg -l |grep 'mysql''.

Re: Install problem iredmail

not sure if this will have any other effect on the installation but I have added the line "innodb_use_native_aio = 0" in my.cnf which allows mysql to start , and i was able to complete the installation.

Re: Install problem iredmail

*) Is this a 32bit Debian 7? did you try it with amd64 edition?
*) what's the value in file /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr?
*) Are you installing iRedMail in a virtual machine? e.g. VMware, Xen, OpenVZ.

Re: Install problem iredmail

I did a quick search with Google, looks like it's a MySQL deb package issue, but not all users experienced this issue.
I have no idea how we can properly fix it.
