IMAP doesn't work..as i followed the Perfect Setup for Fedora 4

[asokaajay]

Good day,

i'm currently setting up my own mail server. almost 80% of the instruction of the Perfect Setup for Fedora 4 works...but i got stuck on the apt-get install cyrus-sasl-gssapi and imap...where the update shows NO PACKAGE FOUND for these two item. And i also having problem starting up imap, pop3...where it shows no directory found. Kindly someone help me on this....plz...

I quote from the tutorial:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. It should contain the following lines:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 tupdates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms

In the last line, rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms, the 1 is not an error or typo! This is the repository that has the imap package which we are going to install soon! So do not change these lines!

I guess your /etc/apt/sources.list is missing the last line. Put it in there, and run

apt-get update

afterwards. Then you can install imap:

apt-get install imap

I can't find it either. I searched through the listing of freshrpms on the Fedora Core 1 entry manually too and cannot find any package with the words IMAP in it. Was it removed from the server?

And you checked that this line is in your /etc/apt/sources.list:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms

(Yes, its a fedora 1 not fedora 4 repository!) and run apt-get update before you tried to install the package?

I'm having trouble installing imap.

Yes i have the last line in sources.list and when i do a apt-get update i get some 404 file not found.

And if you look here http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/

there is no 1 folder!!!!!!

apt-get update worked for me and imap installed fine as well as the other packages I was missing initially

I've been following the The The Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 4 - Page 4, but I'm having trouble with the imap package.

I've read the above comments and tried to install imap as you instructed. My sources.list file reads:

# Add any local / 3rd party repositories here..
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 tupdates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms

I ran:

apt-get update

After that I tried to install imap, and I get a 403 Forbidden Error as you can see:

[root@laptop ssl]# apt-get install imap

Any thoughts on how I can get this work? Otherwise, I'll have to run the other package called dovecot like you mention here? How will this change the commands, which are shown in the tutorial, if I do use dovecot:

chkconfig --levels 235 sendmail off
chkconfig --levels 235 postfix on
chkconfig --levels 235 saslauthd on
chkconfig imap on
chkconfig imaps on
chkconfig ipop3 on
chkconfig pop3s on
/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/postfix start
/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Thanks in advance for your help,
Craig
