Hello,
I installed Cyrus-Imap and Cyrus-sasl on a Linux/SuSE 7.3 platform (on a PC)
with the SuSE RPM's and it works without problem (or almost).
Now I want to have a backup server baut I only have a Apple/G3 available. I
installed on it SuSE7.3PPC. Installation went without problem like on the PC
but when I want to make the configurations (new folders, etc) then starts the
problems.
server: #cyradmin -u cyrus localhost ===> nothing happens, no error
messages, nothing in the log files, nothing, nothing.
Of course, user cyrus exists with unix and sasl passwords and the
/etc/imapd.conf is the same as on the PC.
There must a problem with the SuSE7.3 RPM's but which one?
Thus I'll have to install Cyrus-IMAP from the sources.
I read:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP-6.html
I'll install the latest cyrus-imapd-2.1.4 and the latest cyrus-imap except if
someone does advice it.
Problem the web-page seems a little old
Is there a newer manual for installation.
./configure --with-auth=unix ===> do you confirma that
make depend
make all CFLAGS=-O
make install =====> do you confirme that?
Edit /etc/syslog.conf and add the following lines at the bottom:
local6.debug /var/adm/imapd.log
auth.debug /var/adm/auth.log
Here I'm a little lost because these lines did not exist in the SuSE7.3
installation (all the log where in /var:log/messages). Are they necessary?
Edit a new file /etc/imapd.conf and place in it the following lines:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus root
===> srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab <====
allowanonymouslogin: no
sasl_passwd_check: shadow
A little lost too, these line did not exist in the SuSE installation: what's
the use of it?
7.2 Creating the necessary directories
This list of instructions will set up all the directories necessary for imap.
mkdir /var/adm
touch /var/adm/imapd.log /var/adm/auth.log
mkdir /var/imap /var/spool/imap /var/imap/srvtab
I am a little lost with the mkdir /var/adm directory. Use of it
touch /var/adm/imapd.log /var/adm/auth.log
I am used with the bash shell. I suppose I must create an empty fils
imapd.log and auth.log. Is it useful?
chattr +S . user quota user/* quota/* =====> chattr???
This installation HowTo seems a littlle outdated or I am wrong?
Thank you for anu suggestion.
