Re: Empty mysql database after installation

No attachment for runtime log?

I suggest installing iRedMail on a fresh and minimal CentOS server.

Re: Empty mysql database after installation

Some issues:

*) Looks like you're reinstalling iRedMail on this server. This is not gonna work, you must reinstall server OS then install iRedMail. Remember, iRedMail requires a fresh/clean/new server OS, and do not install iRedMail again on server.

*) While restarting OpenLDAP service, it uses the wrong script.

 + < DEBUG > Service control: stop /etc/init.d/slapd.
/root/iRedMail-0.9.2/conf/core: line 338: /etc/init.d//etc/init.d/slapd: No such file or directory

Turns out this is a bug in iRedMail-0.9.2, it might be the root cause.

I uploaded a patched iRedMail-0.9.2 moment ago, so i suggest reinstalling server OS, download iRedMail-0.9.2, then install iRedMail. Download iRedMail here: https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/downloads

Dear ZHB

Solved 'Access Denied Error using password (YES)'.
It was due to the presence of special character in mysql password (#).
Bydefault iredmail not accepts special character in passwd

Re: Empty mysql database after installation

Looks like the warning message in iRedMail installation wizard doesn't help in this case, although it explicitly mentions '$', '#' are not allowed.

I updated iRedMail moment ago to ensure '$#' not in password:
