Problems with pop login

[darkcoder]

Recently I configured a Fedora 5 server with the http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_5, everythings looks to be working without problem, exept that I was not able to login a user to the pop3 account. Every time I tried from telnet to email clients I got the ERR Authentication failed.

Al the services are running.

The pop/imap server used is dovecot, the one that comes default with Fedora 5 and used by the guide.

Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you use the correct username and password.
Do you use ISPConfig?

[darkcoder]

yes, I use ISPConfig, follow the Recent Fedora5 howto, add a domain which in this case was girlracerpr.org. I can log in without problems to the website and put content on it. Also was able to browse the page, but was unable to login to the pop server.

[falko]

Make sure you use the correct username and password, something like web1_someuser. Don't use ISPConfig users (such as clients and resellers), they exist only in ISPConfig and not on Linux itself!

[djtremors]

I got the same problem.

I created a "User & Email" account which was 'web1_testuser' and gave it a password.

Noticed it doesn't create an /etc/passwd entry so i don't expect POP3 to work.

What's the output of
strace /root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php?

[djtremors]

Well the output is hugely long...

here's the crop off the top. I noticed there's complaints about missing files, I thought ispconfig complains if things are missing on install?
If you need more output. I'd better attach it in an email or something.

Do you see a segmentation fault somewhere in the output?

[djtremors]

No. it just goes into a loop.. here's part of it.

Please run
rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
The lock file is blocking ISPConfig.

[djtremors]

OK, removed the lock file and now I get the seg fault.

Which ISPConfig version do you have installed?

Please have a look here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3695

This patch can be applied also to the latest ISPConfig version.

[djtremors]

back again.. so busy i wish i had more time for this.

I was using the latest SVN but now I've reinstalled fedora and put the ISPConfig-2.2.1.tar.gz and replaced the bundled 5.1.2 php with 5.1.4 tar.gz file.
it installed fine

now i got other problems.. argh. created a site and gave the reseller ftp login access with login details but can't login. no /etc/password account for that either.

strace gave no problems with this php 5.1.4

[till]

Resellers never have an FTP login in ISPConfig.

Only (email) users where the admin checkbox is checked may login with FTP to the webroot directory of their website.

[djtremors]

argh, damn it. Forgive me, i only get to work on this very late at night.

OK. what if I don't want a mail system for the domain ie. hosting the website only. I now have to make an email address only to get FTP access??
So there no way to create an FTP user only for the domain without emails accounts?

btw, also noticed the SVN copy didn't save the External Mailserver and LocalMailserver on the options section.. fyi.

You can select "External Mailserver" for the main domain and all Co-Domains. Then you only have FTP accounts. :)


btw, also noticed the SVN copy didn't save the External Mailserver and LocalMailserver on the options section.. fyi.Either a problem with your installation, or a problem in the SVN. You should have used the latest stable version.
