Thank you very much Till that worked great, now to 2 minor problems (i hope) on bootup it says this mysql user cant log in "debian-sys-maint". and also when i run this command "postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable" i get the following error

postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
postmap: fatal: open /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db: Permission denied

Please make sure you use the correct password in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf for the debian-sys-maint user.

What's the output of

ls -la /etc/postfix

?

so i assume i have the wrong permissions, what do i need to change them too ?

also fixed mysql problem, didn't know where to look for the password so thankyou

[falko]

Did you run the postmap command as root?

[azidtripz]

yes i most certainly did :/

[falko]

Please try

chown root:root /etc/postfix/virtusertable

[azidtripz]

thankyou falko, i just thought since i was running as root, that it would work, but its all sorted now, thank you guys for all your help

i have just moved my server from a dell poweredge 1650 to a 701 eeePc, because i couldn't afford my power bill and the eee consumes 14watts of power and seems to handle it all quiet well....

Hello Falko,
quick question to first page of this thread:


Do i have to transfer /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/postfix/local-host-names, /etc/postfix/virtusertable before i restore the old database?
those files seems to be correctly created after IPSC is restarted after restoring database..

Yes, but if your files seem to be ok, then it's fine, too.

Hi there

Thanks for the excellent tips for moving ISPConfig between servers. However, with regards to the following step:

postmap /etc/postfix/transport
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

This won't work until you add the following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf :

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

and restart Postfix.

Mails on my old server weren't being relayed to the new server until I inserted this line!

Regards
