I have a project at work and if I can finish it, I am going to get some new equipment for my room and some software money. My task is to setup a mail server that will allow students in the district to work on email projects. I have been working on it for about a week and I have made real good progress. I have a Linux box running Ubuntu. I have set up Postfix and Courier-Imap on it to handle the mail. I have been trying to set up Squirrelmail, but I have run into a problem. The setup was easy enough but when I log in it gives me an error that my connection was closed. I was told by the guy that set up our district webmail that it had something to do with either PhP or MySql not being able to recognize something with old passwords, but he couldn't remember exactly what it was or how to fix it. Does anyone have any idea what he might have been talking about? Or is it possibly something else and how do I fix it? I haven't had any trouble seeing squirrelmail through my browser but I just can't get the connection to take.
Did you run squirrelmail-configure after installing it? And did you load the pre-defined settings for Courier IMAP (the "D" option)?
Yep did that. It is acting like it sees courier, it just is acting like it won't let it hold the connection.
post this same question in LINUXQUESTIONS.ORG I found many answers there. Most dudes are knowledgeable. We don't use squirrel anything here at work... If that dude said PHP or MYSQL had problems, look into those logs somewhere in /var/log/ or wherever you've decided to place their logs. ---------- Who was it that had a SQUIRREL in their spokes and we found it was fake?
Ok I am an idiot. I pulled up the syslog and found something I hadn't seen previously. The login script kept errorring saying that it couldn't find the Maildir folder. My stupid self had set up the folders correctly except I had named them maildir. THe capital M kept screwing it up. Now I can log in fine. Just have to resolve the mail to go to the right place.
