Does 10.8 server have vacation messages

I've just run it all again into a different website. Here is what the installer screen should look like.

How-to Wiki

Roundcube Webmail Installer

1. Check environment
2. Create config
3. Test config

Installer by the Roundcube Dev Team. Copyright © 2008-2011 - Published under the GNU Public License; Icons by famfamfam

On the next page, you will see that it generates two files - main.inc.php and db.inc.php

download these to your server and paste in the "yourpath to webmail/config/

Hit continue just underneath the db.inc.php screen and you will see a screen with the following hopefiully

Roundcube Webmail Installer

1. Check environment
2. Create config
3. Test config

Check the password of the roundcube user under psql ?

$ sudo psql -U roundcube -d roundcubemail

roundcubemail =# ALTER USER roundcube WITH PASSWORD 'passwd'; - this has to match the password in db.inc.php ...

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'pgsql://roundcube:passwd@localhost/roundcubemail';

also - please show the output from the "your path to webmail/installer/index.php?_step=3"

cheers

GD

on console psql doesn't ask for a password ...(the password is for sudo)

in psql return for "ALTER USER" is "ALTER ROLE" ? (s. screenshot)

and here the screen from installer:

Ok, now we're getting somewhere!

What is the response from this command in terminal?

/Applications/Utilities/Network\ Utility.app/Contents/Resources/stroke 127.0.0.1 5432 5432

Port 5432 is the default tip port for Postgres.

My output says:

Open TCP port: 5432 PostgreSQL

To fix in case yours is not open.

$ Sudo serveradmin stop postgres

$ sudo nano /library/server/PostgreSQL/config/org.postgresql.postgres.plist

Arrow down to the line "listen_addresses=" and change to

listen_addresses=127.0.0.1

Ctrl X

Y

<enter>

$ sudo serveradmin start postgres

$ /Applications/Utilities/Network\ Utility.app/Contents/Resources/stroke 127.0.0.1 5432 5432

And you should have a top port listening!

Now try the installer again.

If that doesnt help, the only other thing I could recommend is to tick the three boxes for the debugging in the install roundcube config window to see what errors show.

Hi redshift,

many, many thanks to you !!! It was the port ... postgres didn't have a listening adress ! It is not easy to love Mountain Lion server ... thanks a lot again ... now roundcube is working ...

I followed your instructions but could not get it to work after changing ...webmail/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php.dist and ...webmail/plugins/managesieve/managesieve.php

I noticed that the file and path "/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve" actually does not exist on my server.

Also I saw mentioned elsewhere that some of the "rules/<UUID>" files has to be moved over from old install?

Since you clearly know what you are doing, it would be great if you could help enlighten us on how this works and how we can get vacation rules back without too much hassle going forward.

Thanks, what exactly is not working? Could you provide as much info as possible, logs, screenshots, etc! I'm at work today but I'll check in and see what we can do.

Hi BiggerBite,

you are right, in a blank ML installation "/Var/Lib/dovecot/sieve" dos not exist ... and you are right User-Specific rules are stored in a separate drirectory ... I restored them from a migrated lion ...

and I tell you, you don't need a sieve directory in /var/lib/ ... I don't have one ..

So please, check your typing in the configs ... and trust redshift, I am sure he knows what he is doing ....

Happy to help but I need more info...l.

Have roundcube running fine with psql (thanks for your instructions).

Only thing missing is the vacation filters that I recall seeing in Lion's preinstalled roundcube.

I tried to follow your instructions and modified:

...webmail/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php.dist and ...webmail/plugins/managesieve/managesieve.php

exactly as you outlined. But not clear as to what to do after. I restarted apache but still no filters when logging into webmail.

That's when I discovered that "/var/Lib/dovecot/sieve" does not exist in my installation (which was upgraded). I found /Library/Server/Migrated/Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules that contains a uuid folder which I presume contains my test filter from when I was testing it in Lion.

I am just not sure how to get the filter option back to my roundcube webmail.

So I gues my questions are:

Should I create a new "rule" directory for my rules in /Library/Server/Web/Data/ ?

Should I tell ...webmail/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php.dist to point to it, is that what you did?

Should I worry that /var/Lib/dovecot/sieve does not exist?

-You specifically changed the existing path in config.inc.php to above path, does it exists on your install?

-Do you know how to get it?

Is there an easy way to confirm that the plug-in managesieve is loaded and working?

If sure feels like someone could make some money on a small share-ware to get roundcube and managesieve running with a small pgk installer.. I sure would have dropped the same amount as the server to get this running more easily. What company has employees who don't need vacation rules?

;-)

I know I am not specific enough above, please let me know what files / logs / details you need to get a better understanding of my problem(s)

Regards

Simon

Hi Simon - you can tell ifi its working if when you choose "Settings" in Roundcube, the Filter Tab is available - and you can add a filter group and a filter and you get a green message saying Filter Saved Successfully - can you confirm that you get that far. ??

You can test by setting a filter to send a reply based on a certain subject and send yourself an email from a DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESS!

Can you let me know if you've got that far. I'll answer your other questions in a bit.....

cheers

To aid diagnostics -

Change the following lines in /your psHath to webmail/config.main.inc.php

// system error reporting: 1 = log; 2 = report (not implemented yet), 4 = show, 8 = trace

$rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 1; (Change this to 4)

// log driver: 'syslog' or 'file'.

$rcmail_config['log_driver'] = 'syslog'; (This means that your error messages will turn up in your system log - the next line or two down identifies the log id as "roundcube")

Ok to answer some of the stuff under the hood.

in this directory

/library/server/mail/config/dovecot/conf.d

you will find a bunch of config files for dovecot.

90-sieve.conf

20-managesieve.conf

15-lda.conf

20-lmtp.conf

90-sieve.conf says the following in the setup for the Sieve interpreter

##

## Settings for the Sieve interpreter

##

# Do not forget to enable the Sieve plugin in 15-lda.conf and 20-lmtp.conf

# by adding it to the mail_plugins= settings.

So I checked those two files - and the sieve plugin is enabled.

# The path to the user's main active script.

sieve = /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/%u/dovecot.sieve

# A path to a global sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY

# if user's private Sieve script doesn't exist. Be sure to

# pre-compile this script manually using the sievec command line

# tool.

#sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve

# Directory for :personal include scripts for the include extension.

sieve_dir = /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/%u

These other lines , I just made sure that Managesieve plugin in roundcube matched these.

It doesn't matter that the sieve global path doesn't exist, it has no effect on the operation of sieve and managesieve.

20-managesieve.conf had the following interesting bits!

## ManageSieve specific settings

service managesieve-login {

inet_listener sieve {

port = 4190

inet_listener sieve_deprecated {

port = 2000

Which I changed in the roundcube managesieve plugin to use port 4190 and not 2000. 2000 probably works, but may go away one day.

Thats all I did.

The only other thing you may want to do is restore your old rules from Time Machine to the path - sieve_dir = /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/%u

to recover your old ones. I didn't have a great number, so I just created the ones that I wanted again.

Its not magic, nor do I really know what I'm doing 😉 .....

Now, where are we at ???? !!

Gerry

Simon - Should I create a new "rule" directory for my rules in /Library/Server/Web/Data/ ?

NO!!

As you add filters, managesieve will automatically create the UID folder and files to /L/S/Mail/Data/rules/....
