Re: iRedMail on freebsd 13.3

I had the same. I used the help of codepilot (chatgpt) and I got through it. but when chatgpt asks to uninstall something and then reinstall and then start the iredmail installer i had the error coming back, so i just uninstalled and then let the iredmail installer handle the rest.

Re: iRedMail on freebsd 13.3

Finally managed to install iredmail 1.7.1 ,

Guides to do so if you are getting

===>  lsof-4.99.3_2,8 requires kernel sources.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/py-Jinja2


cd /usr
mkdir src
cd src
pkg install git
git clone -b releng/13.3 --depth 1 *link to freebsd scr* /usr/src

** make sure your /usr/src is writable in jail

then run the  bash iRedMail.sh again to continue installing iredmail.
