Hi!
Just installed fresh iredmail 0.9.3 and found issue that no tables are created in databases: vmail, roundcubemail, amavisd, iredadmin, iredapd.
Example:
$ psql vmail
psql (9.4.5)
Type "help" for help.

vmail=# \d
No relations found.

*) Any error on console during iRedMail installation?
*) Any error in file iRedMail-0.9.3/runtime/install.log?

Re: No db structure created when installing PG as backend iredmail 0.9.3

*) Did you install iRedMail on a FRESH/CLEAN/NEW server OS?
*) What's the content in file "~postgres/.pgpass"? Can you login to PostgreSQL with any of them?

Crystal clear system

localhost:*:*:postgres:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:vmail:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:vmailadmin:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:iredapd:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:iredadmin:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:sogo:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:roundcube:<pass_hash>
localhost:*:*:amavisd:<pass_hash>

Can login with all of them, except "sogo", but Sogo was probably not installed.

No clear idea yet. Would you mind giving iRedMail-0.9.4 a try?

Tested again with 0.9.3 and also 0.9.4
Noticed that postgres peer authentication actually fails immediately after setup. After reboot it works fine. Now we need to find what happens after reboot... May be some environment vars?

*) Did you have correct databases/tables with iRedMail-0.9.4?
*) What do you mean "fails immediately after setup"? iRedMail restarts PostgreSQL service immediately after updating pg_hba.conf, so the peer authentication should work during iRedMail installation.

Re: No db structure created when installing PG as backend iredmail 0.9.3

Found where the problem is.
+ < DEBUG > Service control: restart postgresql.
/usr/local/src/iRedMail-0.9.3/conf/core: line 293: systemctl: command not found
I'm using prebuilt debian 8.0 image (LXC) which I upgrade to 8.3 before installing iRedMail.
It contains no systemd installed. And for now, I need to figure out how to make systemd working inside LXC, but that's another topic. May be another way of restarting services for those without systemd?
service <srv_name> restart?

Please re-download iRedMail-0.9.4 and try again:
http://www.iredmail.org/download.html

I fixed this issue moment ago and repacked iRedMail-0.9.4:
https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/comm … 6e62394afd

iRedMail will detect whether systemd is available.
