CentOS 5 Server :: Dovecot/apache Not Working Properly - How To Make It Work Correctly
Mar 20, 2010
I am running a quad core centos 5.4 box that is having a strange problem with dovecot. The administration panel is able to send emails through dovecot but not any of the user accounts (ie with webmail). I've done a bit of research with what could be wrong but haven't had any luck so far I am also having a weird problem with apache: on a c++/php bittorrent application I was going to be running on a subdomain of my main site I get a 500 error every time I try to log in. The only way to get rid of the 500 error is to clear the chache (so its horribly broken somehow). The error generated in the log whenever I try to log in is that "ffmpeg is already loaded" (which I am running on the main site and is critical). Is there a way of either repairing my apache install or excluding ffmpeg on the subdomain in the conf or something?
I'm having a real problem getting Apache to allow a symlink on a particular folder. The symlink is at /var/www/html/images and it points to /home/foo/images.Here is the relevant section to my httpd.confQuote:
For 3 days now I've been trying to setup a CentOS box with Apache, PHP, MySQL and iRedMail (Postfix/Dovecot) Everything is great apart from Apache, which is returning 403 errors: "You don't have permission to access / on this server.". The apache error_log file says: "[Mon Jul 26 14:02:32 2010] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied" (I've blanked out my IP). I have no idea what's happening here. Apache works fine until I add my VirtualHost which is:
<VirtualHost mydomainname.com> DocumentRoot "/home/myuser/public_html" <Directory "/home/myuser/public_html"> allow from all Options +Indexes RewriteEngine On
I have moved a site from a caps-insensitve server (OS X, Apache 1.3) to a default CentOS/Apache 2.2 install and run into problems.Actions:1) Made sure that mod_speling.so is loaded: LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so) Added CheckSpelling directive to Section 2: 'Main Server configuration'CheckSpelling on) Restart httpd
I have CentOS 5.5 x86_64 with Apache, php and mysql. I have just installed OTRS (helpdesk - trouble ticket system) on that server and no users. This system works with perl, apache and mysql. I notice that is slow to respond and at times unresponsive the apache welcome page. code...
I have a fresh install, everythings working great, just trying to get my vhosts working, i set them up in yast, but all the requests just go to the second vhost.
I've installed Apache Tomcat--6 and even jdk1.6.I've even created a tomcat.sh file to start the serverautomatically and it includes the Environment variables also ($CATALINA_HOME & JAVA_HOME) for automatic startup.Next when i'm using http://localhost:8080 to call the server it shows unable to connect.I've tried changing the port no of tomcat in server.xml file. but still its not working.
-->Then i tried using--telnet localhost comand--it shows Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Here I'[m stuck i don't understand how do i make the localhost work.
-->If I'm giving telnet localhost 25 the sendmail server is working.But the 80 and 8080 ports are not getting configured.
-->I've tried adding the port and its name in /etc/services file but still its not working.
-->When I'm giving the command--/sbin/chkconfig --list--->Its shows: xinetd based services:
... ...
telnet on.what should i do to get my tomcat server work properly.
I run mysqld on another server. I just switched to another dedicated server now, and i'm having trouble connecting to the mysqld server. If i run the php script from the bash console( php connect.php ) it works perfectly and connects to the mysqld server. However, if i run the script from apache ( http://localhost/connect.php ) it returns this: Can't connect to MySQL server on '(mysqld real ip)' (13) Mysql connection from another server(old httpd server) works perfectly, so it's not from the database server.
I just installed Centos 5.5 on one of my systems today and something is eluding me. Basically I had a web site and forum software (phpBB, but I don't think it's that, other forum software like Xoops does the same thing) running on Fedora 13, and I copied it over to the new Centos installation. Apache is running fine and displays a PHP test file and .html files just fine.
MySQL seems to be fine, I can log into that, show databases etc. Just can't get any forum software to know there is MySQL there. I did change the path of the site, and the databases, and edited /etc/my.cnf and /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to reflect that. Thought I made the needed changes in /etc/php.ini but who knows. Seemed like everything should have tar'd up and moved easy, but not the case...
I've been trying to make install apache 2.1.8 and php 5.2.3 and work on them. After updating and installing some dependence files, apache and php could both be installed.
Then I tried to configure them. I added the following content to the end of Apache httpd.conf:
Code:
Then I run /path/to/apachectl start, and saw the message:
Quote:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Then I remembered that I didn't include the rewrite module while making install apache. So I removed the 2 lines I just added to httpd.conf.
But, after running /path/to/apachectl stop and start again, I could still see:
Code:
When I use firefox to open http://host_ip:8080/, I could see "It works!". But when I open http://host_ip:8080/hello.php (the file is already under htdocs), firefox said Quote:
Failed to Connect
Why and how to solve it?
I noticed that for some stupid reason, the conf file wasn't updated at all and the 2 erroneous lines were still there.
Whenever I am starting Tomcat5 service in RHEL5 it is showing that it is starting but after some time (after 5 sec.) the status it is showing that lock file found but there is no such process for PID * (where * = different PID no.) and tomcat is not working.
I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 and install apache2 webserver with php5 and mysql, but for some reason I have no idea why but when upload files to the computer running apache2 webserver

I have been searching in the forum and google but still not lucky enough to figure out yetI have a lighttpd server runningbecause apache consume so much CPU and memory) andqmailtoaster (just setup).Here is the configuration in cgi modules:
I'm trying to make a DHCP server work on my CentOS 5.4 box, but I have placed it on another subnet than the one that it is going to serve. I use a helper address on my router to make the the DHCP requests being routed to the DHCP server on the other subnet.
I used fedora12 builded mail server uning sendmail and dovecot at my home, when I at home everything are works fine, no matter I sent email to hotmail, or hotmail sent to my mail server, but I got the problem that I can't access my home server when I at office, the error messages as below:
#telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 110 -ERR Cannot connect to POP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:110), connect error 10061 #telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25
[code]....
P.S there is no firewall between the my office and home
I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.
The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.

Having my Diploma Final Project on setting up a virtual mail server within Local Area Network (LAN) only.I had follow this how-to http://www.linuxmail.info/squirrelma...o-in-centos-5/ and complete up to squirrealmail web mail. I added two new user to try on sending and receiving mail. It works.I run CentOS on VMplayer. I using my laptop to do all the stuff, the laptop default OS is windows 7, i install VM player on it and run CentOS inside the VM Player.I want to do testing on Windows 7 side by installing Thunderbird email client program, i want to connect to mail server with SMTP, IMAP/POP3 using the email service. I have problem while setting up user account on Thunderbird, Thunderbird seems like cannot detect my CentOS mail server. How ?

I am trying to solve a problem where Apache stats aren't displaying correctly in Munin. I've ran through quite a bit of checks and tests regarding Munin setup, but I think my issue is related to Apache, but my skill set there is lacking.
first, system info: monitored server: CentOS 5.3 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5
I am running CentOS 5.2 on a server here in my home. It runs Dovecot and Postfix and also serves as a website host for a small website of mine. Everything works fine. POP, SMTP, Webmail, WWW, all works great and has for ages.Here's the issue. I recently reinstalled a clean copy of Windows 7 on a workstation in my home onto a new harddrive(I still have the old drive int he machine so I can boot to it as well). I setup the Windows Live Mail client to send/receive mail with my mail/web server. However, it won't connect to the POP server on my server machine.Here's the kicker. If I boot to the old harddrive that is running Windows 7, it connects fine to my mailserver and can send/receive just fine. I've checked, rechecked and rechecked and all mail settings on the mail clients on both drives are identical.
Note: The installations of Windows 7 on both drives is identical. Same computer name/ same credentials, same IP, etc. However, as I stated, I can send/receive email with my server if I boot to my old drive, but if I boot to my new drive, I cannot send/receive.
So I installed Lucid on my G4 Cube and now am trying to figure out how to make the video work properly.Right now it is in low graphics mode, which is not pleasing whatsoever.I have the 17" Studio Display (LCD, rev b) connected to it and it has the ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card.I went into the xorg.conf file and there was nothing there. I tried the suggestions for the 15" display but that results in the x server crashing, so i undid that.
I am using vmware player, operating system is ubuntu. I have just installed the apache httpd-2.2.19. I am using the manual method. ./configure, make, make install. No error message.
When i run ubuntu, it gets into the terminal. From here, how do I know if my apache web server is properly installed?
I just created a repository for CentOS 5.3 and 5.4 on my webserver for the network to use. I followed the steps listed here: [URL] All went well up until testing out the repository. Here is the output of "yum update"
[root@titan yum.repos.d]# yum update Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository extras is listed more than once in the configuration
[Code].....
I'm unsure as to why yum is looking in the "5" directory instead of "5.3" or "5.4" and it looks like that is the only issue. It seems as though $releasever is returning 5 instead of the current 5.3 that this system is on.
My problem is that I cant "rewrite" older password to new. It looks like I do:
Changing password for user johny. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
all looks OK but after set up new password I can log in using OLD and NEW password. It's very unsecure for me. So in fact I cant change password and it looks like centos create next password to one accout and one account have more then one password... how can I prevent it? pls help me couse its very unsecure in my case.user looks in file shadow /etc/shadow like this:
the mail server itself will receive mail, that part works. i'm using dovecot imap to grab my mail, that works. but if i try to send mail from my iphone using an account on that server it doesnt work. this is what i see in syslog: May 15 07:14:52 coax postfix/smtpd[1432]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mobile-166-137-139-003.mycingular.net[166.137.139.3]: 450 4.1.8 <eppo@customconnexions.com>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<eppo@customconnexions.com> to=<xxxxxxx@aol.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[10.25.15.47]>
I want to enable Pretty URLs in Concrete5 and Joomla CMSs. So far I have- enabled pretty urls in the CMS- created .htaccess files (as they showed)- changed AllowOverride None to All in /etc/Apache2/httpd.conf <directory>- restarted ApacheBut the pretty urls still don't work, When I click any link on either site it gives me a page not found error. If I use the "non-pretty" URLs, all the links work. So I guess Apache either doesn't read the httpd config file or it doesn't read the .htaccess files or something else. Has anyone got this working? What else did you do?
Sometimes during bootup I get the following error:Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: listen(995) failed: Address already in useI tried to figure out what I could with the command lsof -i :995 and this was my output:COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAMErpc.mount 2936 root 7u IPv4 9201 TCP *:pop3s (LISTEN)When the system boots without the dovecot error the output of losof -i :995 is as follows:
