how-to install syscp (ISP management) on a gentoo box

[Luxus]

it is a work in process
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SysCP

feel free to enhance it. it is my first how-to

[cheops05]

could you explain some more by what you mean by this?

I have 1 domain name how would I use this to administer and host from?

This is the path, were the local homepage is kept. We will install the web interface here. In the following example called "MANAGEMENT.TLD" Warning.. you CAN'T use a domain as hostname & domainname AND manage it by SysCP i use a subdomain which i get from my friend)

Thanks

[Luxus]

i ask the developer.. i was wrong ...
it is posible to manage the domain IF u just use a subdomain.
so when you own. foobar.org
you need to use mail.foobar.org in postfix as host.. then u can admin foobar.org mail accounts with syscp
i missunderstand the syscp in the first time.
i will update my how-to in 1-2 hours
there are 2-3 more bugs, i need to fix in this how-to

Hi guys

I finally getting a chance to try this out and I am following the how-to thanks Luxus

anyways run into a few issues with the sasl stuff

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
* Starting saslauthd...
saslauthd[7255] :set_auth_mech : unknown authentication mechanism: pam

so I changed in /etc/conf.d/saslauthd

SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a pam"
to be
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a mysql"

and now I get

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
* Starting saslauthd...
saslauthd[7255] :set_auth_mech : unknown authentication mechanism: mysql

equery uses cyrus-sasl

I built it with mysql and ssl but it does not show up any ideas

Thanks

SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a pam"
to be
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a mysql"

-a shadow is right

for apache 403 problem
you need to add

Code: Select all

  <Directory "/var/costumers/webs/">
    Options none
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

to your /var/apache2/conf/apache2.conf

Still working trying to get this working

I am having some issues with the maildrop

In order to get it to parse the test command

su -c vmail 'echo maildummy | maildrop -d test@tesdomain.com'

I had to change maildroprc in a few lines

Line 5

logfile "/var/log/maildrop.log" changed to LOGFILE="/var/log/maildrop.log"

but it still doesn't log anything

line 22

MAILDIR = $DEFAULT changed to MAILDIR="$DEFAULT"

Line 23

DELIVERY = $DEFAULT changed to DELIVERY="$DEFAULT"

now when I run the test script I get it creating the users maildir which is good

but I also get the quota warn and one other just wondering if its the same as what you get

WARN: quota string '50000000' not parseable
maildrop: signal 0x06

I have not been able to find anything one the maildrop: signal 0x06 anywhere

it appears to be somewhat working at this point so I am going to try and move on to test the rest of it
Thanks

[frankenstein_]

still battling my way through this

the error about quota is kind of confusing

WARN: quota string '50000000' not parseable
maildrop: signal 0x06

in the logs I see a few things

==> mysql/mysql.log <==
050206 7:50:58 528 Connect syscp@localhost on
528 Init DB syscp
528 Query SELECT email, uid, gid, homedir, maildir, '50000000' FROM mail_users WHERE email = "test@test.com" AND postfix = "Y"
528 Quit

but in the mail_users table there is no entry anywhere for quota or '50000000'

and it appears as if spamd cannot find the local user test@test.com

==> messages <==

Feb 6 07:54:17 whiterhino su(pam_unix)[14584]: session closed for user vmail

if I run

su vmail -c 'echo maildummy | strace maildrop -d test@test.com'

I see in the output of strace an error

open("/home/customers/mailfilter//test@test.com", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

should it not create that folder itself as it does for the regular maildir

I have been doing some searching on the syscp forum but most of it is in german and my german is well obsolete I also tried to read the isp style how-to but again it is in german

anyways thats where I have got to so far things seem working somewhat except the maildrop stuff

and getting the actual vhost entries in /etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/syscp-vhosts.conf
what should the file permissions be on that file so when adding a domain via syscp it adds it to that files

thanks

[Luxus]

i talk with the dev of the maildrop modul
he told me that the quota thing was only a test..
i had the error too but for me everything work
i will update the maildrop section tomorrow (there is a new version of the module)
for the vhost file..
the syscp cronjob is running as root so you don't need to chmod the vhost.conf
i am very tired at the moment .. i will try to help you tomorrow

[Makido]

I run it with apache2, but everytime I change some options like directory access or add a subdomain, I must restart apache!

Is there some workaround for that?

Maik

maybe you can do an apache reload

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/apache reload

or somthing like that

[Makido]

Ok, that work, but I dont want to do it everytime I change something.
Syscp doesnt reload it...

Mh

Dear Luxus

I run a website with one domain name. The web server is separated from the mail server. I need to setup a webhosting for our subdomain. If I use SysCP, can I inactiveate the mail server of the SysCP

Thanks in advance.
