Re: Unexpected error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'connect'

Could you turn on debug mode in iRedAPD, restart it and check its log file immediately? any error?
FYI: http://www.iredmail.org/docs/debug.iredapd.html

Re: Unexpected error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'connect'

Having the same error after upgrading the mailserver from CentOS7 to CentOS8.

iredapd in debug mode only shows:

2022-11-08 17:17:59 DEBUG smtp session: server_address=172.18.8.80
2022-11-08 17:17:59 DEBUG Drop invalid smtp session input: server_address=172.18.8.80

2022-11-08 17:17:59 DEBUG Session ended

No SQL errors to be seen.

Looking in the database I see most tables are empty though, which doesn't look right giving the email volume processed.

The tools (like cleanup_db and greylisting_admin) work fine and don't produce any errors.

Re: Unexpected error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'connect'

Found it. Added some additional debugging to the code, and now got:

2022-11-08 17:35:57 ERROR <!> Error creating a DB connection: No module named MySQLdb

which explains the problem, python2-mysqlclient is no longer available in the OS feeds. Building it with pip2 fixes the problem.
