Hi,

check the directory permissions. ~vpopmail and below must be owned by
the vpopmail user.

Check ~vpopmail/domains and all the directories leading to the
domain.com one.

Hello,



I've checked on my own install . it's indeed the right permissions



drwxrwx--- 9 vpopmail vchkpw 4.0K Feb 21 2012 vpopmail



With the command "ls -lah /home/vpopmail/" you should have



drwx------ 150 vpopmail vchkpw 4.0K Apr 10 16:29 domains



If you have at least one working domain it should be



ls -lah /home/vpopmail/domains



drwx------ 7 vpopmail vchkpw 4.0K Jul 29 2012 thibs.com





Normally the vpopmail user should look like this



grep vpopmail /etc/passwd

vpopmail:x:89:89:Vpopmail (virtual domains)
user:/home/vpopmail:/usr/sbin/nologin



How do you try to create the domain ?



By command line you should use



/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain test.com username



As it seems you are using my guide, could you please do :



chmod +x /downloads/scripts/qmr_inst_check
/downloads/scripts/qmr_inst_check



and tell me the result





Best Regards





Thibault a.k.a Thibs

I resolved it by adding www-data to vchkpw group and changed owner and
group of the apache files to vpopmail:vchkpw earlier it was www-data was
owner and group. Now i am facing new error "could not update file".

This bit is solved in qmail-toaster by the following permissions:
[***@tacs-mail qmailadmin]# ls -l /usr/share/qmailadmin
total 200
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 21 10:58 html
drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 4096 Feb 21 10:58 images
lrwxrwxrwx 1 vpopmail vchkpw 10 Feb 21 10:58 index.cgi -> qmailadmin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 21 10:58 lang
-rwsr-sr-x 1 vpopmail vchkpw 184860 Feb 21 10:56 qmailadmin
[***@tacs-mail qmailadmin]#

Note the sticky bit.

HTH.

Hello,

OK I understand now. You didn’t specified in your request that you tried from the webinterface

The result of the script is normal at this install step (it verify all the steps)

If you're talking about QmailAdmin, you need to make sure it's got the suid bit set and is owned by the vpopmail user.

You shouldn't have changed Apache to run as vpopmail, and should revert those changes.

If vpopmail is working for you, you should focus your efforts on troubleshooting QmailAdmin.

I agree with that! It used to be a good point, then the best one was from Bill but that was taken down ;). I would suggest to look at qmail.org or at this url

https://wiki.qmailtoaster.com has a lot of users and a nice community.
You should be able to have a qmail server up and running in just a
couple hours. Unfortunately, we haven't ported to debian yet, although I
believe there is a person or two who have done this. You'd need to check
the email list archives, or ask on the list.

Disclaimer: I'm the lead on the project. ;)
FWIW.

HI Thibs,
looks nice but you are still running courier ops!! So maybe it's a new project for you to update to dovecot faster and supported better than courier now.

Just my 2 cents,

You’re right ... and this guide is indeed using old-fashioned software.

As Debian has just released last week-end a new version, I’m currently working on a new installation guide with Dovecot

Hey Thibault,

I'm wondering if you'd like to head up a debian release for
qmail-toaster. We'd love to have you as part of the community.

I hope to be spending more time on the project in the near future,
moving the sources to github, and using the opensuse build service to
build binary packages. The project has historically only worked with rpm
based distros, but I'd love to have debs available as well.

If you're interested please join us on the
qmailtoaster-***@qmailtoaster.com list. You can subscribe the ezmlm
way, or access it via gmane.org.

In any case, thanks for your work with qmail on debian. I'm sure it will
be helpful regardless.
