Topic: Cannot login into iRedAdmin after upgrade from 0.87 to 0.9

============ Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.9.0
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 7.8
- Related log if you're reporting an issue: /var/log/apache2/error.log
====

Hi guys,

I recently updated iRedMail from version 0.87 to 0.9 with the provided guide http://www.iredmail.org/docs/upgrade.ir … 0.9.0.html

Everything seems to be working fine, except for the fact that I cannot login into iRedAdmin anymore.
The login screen shows up, but after I login with my postmaster credentials it just shows a blank page with "internal server error".

After a look into the error.log from Apache2 it seems like some Python script isn't working properly. I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 239, in process
    return self.handle()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 230, in handle
     return self._delegate(fn, self.fvars, args)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 420, in _delegate
     return handle_class(cls)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 396, in handle_class
     return tocall(*args)
   File "/usr/share/apache2/iredadmin/controllers/ldap/basic.py", line 77, in POST
     dn_user = ldaputils.convert_keyword_to_dn(username, account_type='user')
 TypeError: convert_keyword_to_dn() got an unexpected keyword argument 'account_type'

Can you tell me what went wrong?

Please try this patch for iRedAdmin-0.4.1:

Re: Cannot login into iRedAdmin after upgrade from 0.87 to 0.9

It was in fact iRedAdmin 0.41.

I applied the patch you provided, but I still get the same "internal server error" message, when I try to login.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 239, in process
    return self.handle()

Did you restart Apache or uwsgi (if you're running Nginx) service to reload modified iRedAdmin?

Re: Cannot login into iRedAdmin after upgrade from 0.87 to 0.9

Oh I just restarted iredapd. After restarting apache2 the error stays the same, but the error message changed slightly:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 239, in process
     return self.handle()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 230, in handle

     qr_user_auth = auth.Auth(dn=dn_user, password=password)

Re: Cannot login into iRedAdmin after upgrade from 0.87 to 0.9

That did the trick. I applied your new patch and restarted iredapd and apache2 and it works again!

Thank you very much!

By the way: Is there a comprehensive guide to switch from apache2 to nginx with my existing iRedMail Installation? The roadmap mentions a switch to nginx in future versions.

We're working on it. Will provide separate tutorials of setup Nginx and SOGo later.
Tutorial of installing SOGO on CentOS 6 (MySQL edition) is finished, but you know iRedMail supports several Linux/BSD distributions, and several backends, we need some time to finish them all. Please be patient.
