Topic: SuSE 11.3 - Minimal Server Selection?

I am considering using iRedMail installer script. Before starting, I have been browsing the documentation. At the head of the document, under Requirements, it says this:
"It's recommended to choose "Minimal Server Selection (Text Mode)" during installation. "

How important is this? If I have already done a clean install using the KDE desktop, can I somehow turn it off for the iRedMail install? Or do I need to re-do the OS install?

Regards, Martin

Thank you Zhang,
Dropped out of the scripts a couple of times with package update conflicts. But once I got them sorted, it was installed.

However, in an attempt to understand what I was doing, I removed it with the clear_iredmail.sh.
Now, when I try and re-run the install all I get are 29 <<<SKIP>>>Skip function: (name of package) and nothing happens.

How do I re-run the iRedMail.sh?

Regards,

There's a hidden file under root directory of iRedMail scripts. e.g. /root/iRedMail-0.6.1/.iRedMail.installation.status, simply remove it and run iRedMail.sh.

Re: SuSE 11.3 - Minimal Server Selection?

Thank you Zhang,

That solved that for me.

So, I move on to try and make a pop3 connection and.... Fail!
I have attached the dovecot.log file. If you have a moment, could offer any suggestions?

Best regards, Martin

It's better to post log content as plain text directly, so that others can help troubleshoot quickly.

I visit forum with my iPhone when i was out, it can't download and open attachment in post, so i have to delay to read your log file.

Feb 08 11:46:20 dovecot: Error: User www@gzunder.homeip.net not allowed to log in using too low UNIX UID 303(vmail) (see first_valid_uid in config file)

It's clear now. This is a known issue in iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1.

SuSE package 'postfix-mysql' will create system account 'vmail' automatically, with default uid 303.
So add below config in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and restart dovecot service can fix it:

first_valid_uid = 303

Re: SuSE 11.3 - Minimal Server Selection?

Back again,

Thank you for that last tid-bit. Of course that worked, so I moved on. But...
Trying to send gives me this message in mail.info:

Amavisd will listen on port 10024, this error message means amavisd daemon is not running, tey to restart it:

/etc/init.d/amavis restart

P.S. iRedMail-0.7.0-beta2 is available today, with better OpenSuSE and Debian6 support maybe you should give it a try. smile

Re: SuSE 11.3 - Minimal Server Selection?

Oh I feel bad about all this pestering. Okay, as you point out, amavis is not running.

As you can see, syslog is running?
Googling around suggest that this may be a problem with amavis-new 2.6.4? Do you know different?

Regards, Martin
PS - Thanks for the tip on iRedMail-0.7.0-beta2. I'd like to get this build up 'n running first.
It seems to be almost there?

You should install perl module Unix::Syslog to make it work:

# zypper in perl-unix-syslog

I really am sorry for wasting your time, but I still don't understand.
I think the output shown in message#16 suggests that the repository "repo-oss" is active and enabled.
Then, in message#14, when I try and install "perl-unix-syslog", it suggests that it is installed. But that a complimentary package "perl" is missing. Then when i try and install that, it says that it is in fact installed! How do I crack this circular stand-off?

Have I understood the problem? Or is there any other thoughts that you think may help?

Is this a SuSE thing....?

Oh I wish it would!

I attempted to clean up the beta1 install by running yes | bash clear_iredmail.sh
Rebooted, download and un-zipped beta2. Ran the install script. At the end of what "seemed" a clean install, I request that iRedMail should start. This is the greeting I get:
