pop3 service alone is failed in "The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)"

[falko]

You have to use the email address (not the username) and the password.

Hi Falko,

I think I tried username as well, but I cannot really say that now, because I installed courier now

After installing courier my inetd.conf is now fully commented now each and every line including the previous pop3 stuff posted above. And my pop3 was showing offline in ISPConfig, but then I figured to start the following five daemons and it worked.

courier-authdaemon
courier-imap
courier-imap-ssl
courier-pop
courier-pop-ssl

Could you post some instructions as how to get these things and other ISPConfig required services started automatically after a server reboot?. I know its bit of out of scope, but it would be a very useful stuff for me

And now I've got the email working as well. And I tried: email_username@domain.com and it worked straightaway.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Nanda.

Normally these services start automatically at boot time. But to go sure, you can run

update-rc.d courier-pop defaults

to make courier-pop start at boot time.

Hi Falko,

I followed your awsome tutorial on Debian 3.1. I have been using ISPConfig for sometime and have not had any problems however, last week my POP3 service went offline since there has been no change to the server and nothing reported in the /var/log/syslog files I'm am at a loss to know what to do. This is my company server so it is vital that I get it up and running again ASAP. I installed Courrier POP3/IMAP with the -SSL option and they both start fine so why would ISP say that there is no POP3 service when its running in the process list ps -A.

Also, when the server starts up all demons load fine except ISPConfig which is the last one to load. It just hangs while saying: "Starting ISPConfig System..."

Thanks for all your hard work and for the help.

I had to bring my server up in Debian 2.6 Recovery mode so not all services may be running.

Also if I try to start Tomcat the server freezes

Thanks for your help

I wanted to say that

POP3d-ssl/IMAPd-ssl are running

Just so you know

[till]

ISPConfig shows pop3 offline because pop3 is not running, you are just running pop3s. Eiteher you enable pop3 or you ignore that ISPConfig shows that the service is offline.

[cyelinek]

It doesn't make a diffrence I tried that already and ISPConfig still shows POP3 offline.
