Dual server with ISPConfig 3 but with errors

[alphaman36]

I was able to successfully install and get running ISPConfig 3 on multiple servers. 1 - email, 2 -name servers. The only thing that I am seeing that doesn't look good is the following errors in mail server.log:

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

Sems a sif dovecot was compiled without mysql support. Which tutorial did you follow to install your servers?

[alphaman36]

I used some from the perfect build for ubuntu 12.04 and with debian 5. The reason being for this is there are required steps needed in 12.04

[till]

So the servers are Ubuntu 12.04 and not debian? Which command did you use to install dovecot?

[alphaman36]

The command I ran was apt-get -y install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d.


However since it is a virtual machine I took a snapshot a ran the command from ubuntu 12.04 perfect build which is apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-mysql dovecot-sieve sudo. It installed the missing products and so far it looks like that MAY have taken care of that problem. However another showed up. However I am not sure what to make of this message from the mail log:

dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
Aug 23 03:55:04 mail1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured

Aug 23 04:00:03 mail1 postfix/smtpd[2052]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]

[till]

The messages are from system monitoring, so they dont indicate a problem or error. The system monitor Checks every 5 minutes if the services are responding correctly.

Thank you VERY much. I have been working on this for the last week to get everything working with multiple servers and ISPConfig 3. By the way, is there anyone that you know of that has domain.com that can point me in the correct direction so that they can see my new name servers

How do I fix this

Aug 23 04:43:45 mail1 amavis[1046]: Net::Server: Group Not Defined. Defaulting to EGID '120 120'
Aug 23 04:43:45 mail1 amavis[1046]: Net::Server: User Not Defined. Defaulting to EUID '112'

[till]

Seems as the user and group that amavis uses or the user and group vmail are missing. The amavis user and group are created by apt when amavis gets installed while the vmail user and group get created by ispconfig when you install it.
