Installation and Upgrades / Re: ebox -- vtiger -- dovecot -- howto, tutorial or anything like that

« on: September 11, 2009, 05:18:02 pm »

Hi Javier,

I'm back in the office since Monday and I just can't get fetchmail to store the e-mails where I can find them.

I am working on two systems. One in the office and the other at home.

In the office, when I try to fetch e-mail I become either the response "must have no more than -rwx--x---(0710) permissions" or the system tells me that "fetchmailrc must be owned by you", depending on the rights I give to the process (chmod).

At home fetching mail works but I can't see where the e-mails are stored.

Is there something basic here that I don't understand?

Is there anyone in Germany who gives professional or semiprofessional support?

Is there a basic manual or book available about ebox?

What do you suggest? We are really no beginners with the computer :-) it's just that we don't have any experience with Linux...

Hello Javier,

Thanks for the answer -- I'm out of office until next Sunday -- I'll try then and will be back to you...

Hi Javier,

<<...so fetchmail should have permission to write there.>>
How do I give fetchmail Permission to write into /var/vmail/[mail.domain]/jens

The log of "fetchmail -v" is:
...
fetchmail: about to deliver with: /var/vmail/[mail.domain]/jens
sh: /var/vmail/[mail.domain]/jens: Permission denied
#*****fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 126
 not flushed
...

Thanks Jens

Hi Javier,

we have now given fetchmail the path to the default ebox mail folder including domain folder and user folder.

And what happens now is that we receive an error message "permission denied" when fetchmail tries to store the receive messages.

How do we enable the authorisation?

Does this have anything to do with setting up the "certification authority"?

What has to be filled into this form? Status, best before so many days? is there a Howto for this?

And then the last question -- to set up Thunderbird as IMAP profile -- what has to be filled in for server -- IP of server or domain, or local loopback (what's this anyway) -- and which port is used by default?



Thanks
Jens

Hi Javier,

thanks very much for your reply. Sorry, that we answer only now, but we don't work on the server every day.

We are not so sure ourselves about the e-mail requirements of vtiger. We believe it needs an IMAP profile.

At least this was what we could find on the Internet. People say vtiger works together with dovecot.

Our server is supposed to work only as a local server for a start. It connects the Internet via an installed rooter. No access to the server from outside.

The e-mail addresses are managed by a provider and we fetch them using pop3. Now we want fetchmail to do this for us and store the incoming e-mail somewhere so that dovecot can manage them as an IMAP profile. Fetchmail is supposed to be the interface between provider and dovecot.

By now we have integrated fetchmail into our system and it fetches e-mail from our provider but we don't know where it stores the messages.

With your suggestions we would need to give the server full access to the Internet, wouldn't we?

Hope I was able to explain our problem. We are learning step-by-step how to set up the system as you can see.

Thanks for any assistance.

Jens

Okay, I don't really understand why we didn't get any response...

But after a good bit of research and trying to understand -- as we really are just starting to work with Linux-based software -- we found the following link.

http://forum.eboxplatform.com/index.php?topic=892.0

Looks like the solution...

Installation and Upgrades / ebox -- vtiger -- dovecot -- howto, tutorial or anything like that

Hello to all,

we are trying to set up a server for small business with customer relations management and stuff like that. Connected with open office.

The server seems to be running fine now. We are newbies and therefore every step is a new challenge...

Does anyone by chance know whether there is some written information on setting up dovecot for vtiger available?

Which way should the system be configured? Is dovecot that IMAP server for vtiger? And does dovecot fetch all the e-mail from different pop3 accounts and does it send by SMTP?

If so, how do I set up dovecot for pop3 and SMTP?

We are really thankful for any information on the topic...

Installation and Upgrades / Samba - Access via Windows Explorer - Permission denied

« on: August 09, 2009, 10:30:52 pm »

We are trying to set up a samba file-server with ebox.

First we create a user(admin) and then a new folder(website).
Please check the attached image for configuration details(smb.conf).

Now the problem is that log in from a windows client is not possible. We receive the error message "... Permission denied ...".

We have been trying four hours...
