RE: [CentOS] Mail server, IMAP question

> Dec 12 14:16:40 kines postfix/trivial-rewrite[12738]: > warning: do not list domain kines.dyndns.org in BOTH > mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Nando, I don't have much experience with using Postfix for virtual domains and Feizhou may correct me but I think Postfix does not know what to do with the mail. This error is self-explanatory. If you want a virtual mailbox domain for this domain then do not list it in mydestination. Remove $mydomain and $myhostname from mydestination. Have you thoroughly read: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html Alex

perl on CentOS 4.4 : PERLIO=perlio vs stdio, readline error handling
by Wojtek.Pilorz 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

I sometimes use an example from readline entry in perlfunc(1). This used to work for me, but know (after I upgraded to CentOS) works only if PERLIO=stdio is defined in environment. See the following: [xx@xx testreadline]$ cat testreadline.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; for my $fn (@ARGV) { local (*F); open F, "< $fn" or die "open err for fn=$fn: $!"; binmode(F); my $c = 0; local $/=\8192; local $_; for (;;) { undef $!; unless (defined($_ = <F>)) { die $! if $!; last; }; $c += length $_; } close(F) or die "close err fn=$fn: $!"; print "fn=$fn, byte count=$c;\n"; } [xx@xx testreadline]$ env LANG=C perl testreadline.pl testreadline.pl Bad file descriptor at testreadline.pl line 14, <F> chunk 1. [xx@xx testreadline]$ env LANG=C PERLIO=perlio perl testreadline.pl testreadline.pl Bad file descriptor at testreadline.pl line 14, <F> chunk 1. [xx@xx testreadline]$ env LANG=C PERLIO=stdio perl testreadline.pl testreadline.pl fn=testreadline.pl, byte count=390; Is the method of checking for errors with readline described in perlfunc(1) no longer good? Any hints would be most welcome. Best regards, Wojtek BTW. Perl installed is as follows: [xx@xx testreadline]$ rpm -qi perl Name : perl Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 5.8.5 Vendor: CentOS Release : 36.RHEL4 Build Date: Sun 13 Aug 2006 12:25:48 AM CEST Install Date: Fri 15 Sep 2006 10:42:26 AM CEST Build Host: build-i386 Group : Development/Languages Source RPM: perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4.src.rpm Size : 32713959 License: Artistic or GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Sun 13 Aug 2006 02:56:06 PM CEST, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 Packager : Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> URL : http://www.perl.org/ Summary : The Perl programming language.

dovecot disconnect(s) / new facts
by Michael Kress 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hi, I just tried the below with the current version 1.0 RC15 (from the dovecot website) and I still got the Problem: telnet gives me the following output: -----8<-----8<-----8<-----SNIP-----8<-----8<-----8<----- +OK dovecot ready.u-ERR invalid command u s-ERR invalid command s e-ERR invalid command e r-ERR invalid command r -ERR invalid command u-ERR invalid command u s-ERR invalid command s e-ERR invalid command e r-ERR invalid command r _-ERR invalid command _ 1-ERR invalid command 1 -ERR invalid command -----8<-----8<-----8<-----SNIP-----8<-----8<-----8<----- The above output results from the following entry: user user_1[ENTER] So now I know that this is no version issue. Can you tell me something on how I can find the solution for this problem? I don't think its a firewall issue, I disabled my Desktop Firewall. On the server I use shorewall, but of course, port 110 is open and it works disabling AntiVir on the client side. The error also occurs when I disable the Server Firewall as well. The error is reproducible on several PCs (I tried 3 PCs). Have you got any hint? Without solving the problem, I have to switch the pop3 server to another one, because this problem is really a crucial one.The only problem is: I like dovecot. :) Moreover I'd like to keep dovecot updatable. Thanks in advance!

Lighttpd setup with rails
by Scott Parks 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Hi Everyone- I am trying to setup lighttpd on a CentOS 4.2 box after having problems with getting it to work on Apache. I am hoping some fresh eyes can see any errors below. The log files are useless as they just say server stop and server start. When I create an app in rails I can see the rails welcome screen, but everything else comes up 404. Here is my lighttpd config pointing to the folder /home/rails/test <- where I created the rails app. Thank you! -Scott server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_redirect", "mod_access", "mod_fastcgi", "mod_accesslog" ) server.document-root = "/home/rails/test/public/" server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd.error.log" index-file.names = ( "index.html", "index.htm", "default.htm" ) server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" #rails stuff ######fastcgi module fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "test" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/test1.socket", "bin-path" => "/home/rails/test/public/dispatch.fcgi", "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "production" ), "min-procs" => 1, "max_procs" => 2 ) ) ) #### accesslog module accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd_access.log" url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc" ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "\.pdf$" { server.range-requests = "disable" } ## # which extensions should not be handle via static-file transfer # # .php, .pl, .fcgi are most often handled by mod_fastcgi or mod_cgi static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".fcgi" ) ## bind to port (default: 80) server.port = 8080

Re: [CentOS] Up2Date and yum failing
by CM 11 Dec '06

Hmmm I seem to have a catch22 here. I've found the page at http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=118 that discusses installing yum-pluging-fastestmirror I quote: "*How do I get this new system?* This system is now live. If you update your system with the normal *yum update* command you will get the new *centos-yumconf* package." The thing is, yum update fails with a string of [errno 4] (socket time outs) and [errno 12] (mirror url timeouts) Can I get the file some other way?
