[solved] courier-authdaemon problem

[olma]

Hi,

 

at first: nice work you have done!

The installlation went fine and now I am going to configure the services.

 

And here I stuck: Configuring courier(imap/pop3)

 

The command "/etc/init.d/courioer-authdaemon restart" gives several errors regarding "Command not found".

Config file: authdaemonrc

 

Line 26,28,33,35,52,54,60,62,67

 

Did I missed something?

 

Thanks!

This is the upcoming error while executing '/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart':

How does /etc/courier/authdaemonrc look like?

It is the auto-generated content from Froxlor:

Okay, it seems that nobody has a solution for this.kind of error.

I am going to install froxlor again in an openVZ environment and try to get courier-authdaemon working.

I'll post the results here... of course.

 

OS: Debian 6.0.4 (latest at this time)

This was a quick one.

 

The same error occured again! Maybe it's an OS related problem?

This is a generated authdaemonrc of Debian 6.0.4.:

courier* is allergic to non-UNIX newlines, i don't really expect this file having windows newlines, but still, this is the only thing i can think of right now, since that happened regulary in the past.

 

install "dos2unix" (it is available in the default debian repository) and run it on the file, just to be sure.

[olma]

YES!! I don't believe it!!!

But how can that happen? I used Notepad2 to copy & paste.... Shit!

That was a brilliant idea!! Many thanks!

Here is the output:

 

root@customer:~# dos2unix /etc/courier/authdaemonrc
dos2unix: converting file /etc/courier/authdaemonrc to UNIX format ...
root@customer:~# dos2unix /etc/courier/authmysqlrc
