Hello,
I am seeking some clarification. When attempting to run the iredmail installer to launch the web server for deployment, it fails.
/usr/local/bin# iredmail
Create required system account and directories.
failed: iredweb
[ERROR] task error: exit status 4, useradd: UID 2005 is not unique
[ERROR] task:
user:
comment: Daemon user used to run iRedMail web UI
createhome: "no"
group: iredweb
name: iredweb
shell: /sbin/nologin
state: present
uid: "2005"
Fatal: failed in performing preprations: task error: exit status 4, useradd: UID 2005 is not unique
I understand that iRedAdmin-Pro features are included with EE, do I have to delete the user before prior to running the upgrade, or am I missing a step? I've been following along with the instructions in the wiki documentation and I didn't find anything that indicates a conflict with the iredadmin user and the to-be created iredweb user.
