Hello all,

I have installed SOGo, and created its database. A sogo service restart created the tables in said database.

I can log in to all email accounts using roundcube, however I can not get into any of them using SOGo web UI.

/var/log/sogo/sogo/log shows the following:

2016-10-26 21:24:21.657 sogod[20989] ERROR: could not open MySQL4 connection to database 'sogo': Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)

sXXX@mailserver:/etc/apache2/conf-enabled$

My sogo.conf MySQL configs are:

SOGoProfileURL = "mysql://sogo:secret@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_user_profile";
OCSFolderInfoURL = "mysql://sogo:secret@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_folder_info";
OCSSessionsFolderURL = "mysql://sogo:secret@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_sessions_folder";

Any idea what the issue is?

Re: SOGo MySQL connection

Seems you didn't install mysql package for sogo: sope4.9-gdl1-mysql.

Why it shows sql table/view "sogo_view"? in iRedMail, it's "users" table.
please check your sogo.conf.

I created a view based on the installation guide here: http://www.iredmail.org/docs/sogo-centos-6-mysql.html

sogo.conf has:

SOGoUserSources =
(
{
type = sql;
id = vmail_mailbox;
viewURL = "mysql://sogo:secret@127.0.0.1:5432/sogo/sogo_view";
canAuthenticate = YES;
isAddressBook = YES;
userPasswordAlgorithm = ssha;
}
);

I tried changing tto sogo/users; and still same error.

Re: SOGo MySQL connection

Does the VIEW (sogo_view) actually exist? How did you create it?

Re: SOGo MySQL connection

I created the view sogo.users using:

CREATE VIEW sogo.users (c_uid, c_name, c_password, c_cn, mail, domain) AS SELECT username, username, password, name, username, domain FROM vmail.mailbox WHERE enablesogo=1 AND active=1;

That is what is in the Centos guide.
That view exists and I can view it in sogo db (select * from sogo.users;)

The sogo.conf file is different than the one in the centos guide so I edited accordingly.

I changed sogo_view to usrers / to sogo.users / to sogo_users and none of that worked, I still got:

Oct 28 00:12:32 sogod [11557]: [ERROR] <0x0x557beb5fa0b8[GCSChannelManager]> could not open channel <MySQL4Channel[0x0x557beb676948] connection=0x(null)> for mysql://127.0.0.1/sogo/sogo.users

Re: SOGo MySQL connection

Got a similar issue.

Server installed freshly 2 months ago with latest iRedMail and Ubuntu 16 LTS, using MySQL backenend.

Worked nice all the time, but now not anymore, maybe cause of an sogo upgrade?

Re: SOGo MySQL connection

Just noticed that recently added accounts have sha512 encrypted passwords, and older accounts salted md5 in sogo.users, and also in vmail.mailbox

What's that about?

Re: SOGo MySQL connection

I guess i didn't fully understand your issue due to miss some log or config file. How about try this:

*) Setup a virtual machine and install iRedMail with SOGo and same SQL/LDAP backend.
*) Copy the /etc/sogo/sogo.conf from virtual machine to your mail server, replace the MYSQL password in it, then restart SOGo service.

THAT DID IT!
For some reason the sogo.conf file was structured differently than the one you posted.

I used your config file and edited the mysql info, changed password algorithm to SSHA and all worked well.

Now to set it up for outlook and mac Mail client.

*fingers crossed*

Thank you ZhangHuangbin!
