Topic: iRedMail 0.7.4 -> 0.8.0 Upgrade procedure Inquiry

==== Provide required information to help troubleshoot and get quick answer ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.0
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 6.2 OpenLDAP
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.
====

In the upgrade procedure for 0.7.4 to 0.8.0, I noticed some errors which did not work on my machine.

Here is the following commands that are suggested in the upgrade tutorial for RHEL 6.x / CentOS 6.x. I am running CentOS 6.2 specifically.

# chown dovecot:dovecot /etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf
# chmod 0500 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf

When I run this command I receive:

[root@mail ~]# chown dovecot:dovecot /etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf
chown: cannot access `/etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access `/etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf': No such file or directory


It appears the filenames you advertise do not exist in CentOS 6.2. I have not modified or deleted anything since I ran the install script for 0.7.4.

When I perform an "ls -ltr" on the /etc/dovecot directory, here are the files that exist:

[root@mail dovecot]# ls -ltr
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3774 Feb  9 12:32 dovecot.conf.rpmnew
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3672 Mar  5 07:24 dovecot.conf.2012.03.05.07.17.46
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 4045 Mar  5 07:24 dovecot.conf
-r-x------ 1 root root  988 Mar  5 07:24 dovecot-ldap.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  497 Mar  5 07:24 used-quota.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 28 23:23 conf.d
[root@mail dovecot]#

It looks like used-quota.conf is the filename instead of dovecot-used-quota.conf. and the dovecot share folder.conf doesn't seem to exist AT ALL.

Is this normal, or is there something wrong with my installation? I am using dovecot v2 btw. I confirmed with a dovecot --version at command line.

I just want to ensure I don't lose functionality but not having one of these files, and the other file is listed differently.

Dear juvix,

Thanks very much for your feedback.

Fixed moment ago, and mentions the file name on different Linux/BSD distributions may be different, it should be dovecot-used-quota.conf or used-quota.conf. Hope it helps.

We don't have share-folder.conf in iRedMail-0.7.4 and earlier versions, so i removed it.

Zhang,

You may need to update it again. Another typo.

# chown dovecot:dovecot /etc/dovecot/used-quota.conf
# chmod 0500 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf

See the second line. It has dovecot again. It should be used-quota.conf

Not wanting to hijack thread but should it dovecot-share-folder.conf be change the file permission too? It also contain SQL password...

[root@iredos etc]# ls -all | grep dovecot
-rw-rw-r--   1 root    root     10322 Jan 10 08:25 dovecot.conf
-rw-r--r--   1 root    root     51276 May 14  2011 dovecot.conf.2011.05.14.20.17.33
-r-x------   1 root    root      1000 Jan 10 08:32 dovecot-ldap.conf
-rw-r--r--   1 root    root       431 May 14  2011 dovecot-share-folder.conf
-rw-r--r--   1 root    root       497 May 14  2011 dovecot-used-quota.conf

btw, should it not all dovecot related config file change ownership to dovecot?

Yes.

No, just the files contains SQL password.

Re: iRedMail 0.7.4 -> 0.8.0 Upgrade procedure Inquiry

On my Debian Squeeze machine it is /etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf, not used-quota.conf, so you may want to update the upgrade notes.

Edit: Just read your note, so please ignore my comment:

NOTE: The file name on different Linux/BSD distributions may be different, it should be dovecot-used-quota.conf or used-quota.conf.

BTW: Why chmod 500 and not 400? I don't think conf files are executable? ;-)

As far as i can remember, 0400 doesn't work at all during my testing. but you can give it a try if you want. smile
