On that Mac mini, I have installed </p> <p>PHP Version 5.4.0RC5-dev<br /> MySQL 5.1.40<br /> Apache 2.2.21</p> <p>successfully, and many popular PHP apss run pefrectly on this machine.</p> <p>But, the friend ahs asked if the cPanel can be installed and run on it.<br /> Surely, there are many Web Management software like WebMin and other but he is accustomed to cPanel, and naturally asks for cPanel.</p> <p>I've tried the "How to install cPanel/WHM on a fresh installation of Linux - WHM Setup Tutorials) at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Lqrbsptd4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Lqrbsptd4</a> but of course it asks for CentOS or similar Linux based OS. </p> <p>I was wondering how possible it is to install cPanel on Mac, PowerPC or Intel?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/php-with-iconv#post-2519 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:34:48 +0000 zelda 2519@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Happy to report: after downloading latest version of PHP(5.3.8) and using the following configure below with iconv enabled; it successfully compiled, installed, and worked!

I think you have to look into the connection between postfix and dspam there lies the error. It could be configuration or a permission problem. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/dspam-configuration#post-1643 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 21:57:01 +0000 Michael 1643@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I've managed to configure and install DSpam, but it's not working correctly.</p> <p>I'm getting "postfix/qmgr warning: connect to transport private/dspam: No such file or directory"</p> <p>when I run the periodic script train.sh, I get "Unable to find a valid signature.

My server works just fine ;) Only one thing i was missing, it is installing mod_svn for apache.. Here is my contribution how to build mod_svn.</p> <p>1. Get SVN sources.

Until I hit this snafu everything was going well. Second, I tried to post this as a comment in the 32 PHP post but it told me I was a spammer so my apologies to Richard if he sees this twice.</p> <p> When I run these commands:<br /> <pre><code>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-config-file-path=/etc \ --with-zlib \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr \ --with-openssl \ --without-iconv \ --enable-exif \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-mbstring \ --enable-mbregex \ --enable-sockets \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config \ --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs</code></pre> <p>which gives back this error:<br /> <code>configure: error: mysql configure failed.

A lot of information can be found in the configuration file of the current setup. There it is defined which SASL or other authentication is used at the moment. Unfortunately I don't have a server license otherwise I would have a look at it myself. If you want I can have a look at it, please mail me at info @ this domain. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/upgrading-postfix-on-mosxs#post-965 Mon, 09 May 2011 14:41:10 +0000 Fred Turner 965@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Hey Richard, thanks for the reply! No need for an apology...I'm grateful for your assistance, whenever it comes. I guess I just really don't have any expertise on what all goes into generating these make statements. I can follow what some of the components mean, but I don't really have any idea of the exact syntax and ordering, or how I'd create one on my own and have everything included that's needed. I'm looking at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html</a></p> <p>where it discusses PAM (which it says uses saslauthd) to try to understand more, but I'm still a little lost.</p> <p>- How can I tell for sure whether PAM is indeed what's being used for MOSXS?<br /> - If it is, then what should I add to the make statement? Something referencing saslauthd?<br /> - I've been Googling a lot, but it sure seems difficult to find out the specifics of Postfix on MOSXS. I find it difficult to believe that hardly anybody has tried upgrading the MOSXS-included Postfix...where should I look?</p> <p>Sorry that I'm rather clueless when it comes to compiling, and thus far rely on what you and others specify in tutorials, hints, etc. Thanks again for your reply!</p> <p>Fred </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/upgrading-postfix-on-mosxs#post-964 Sun, 08 May 2011 17:28:48 +0000 Richard 964@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Fred, sorry for the later then planned reply (had a few days off!) but the problem is that the server version uses a completely different authentication method then I do in my setup. I think it uses the PAM method. I have no experience with that or how compiling will affect the setup.</p> <p>You could have a look at the method macports uses for compiling postfix: <a href="https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/mail/postfix/Portfile" rel="nofollow">https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/mail/postfix/Portfile</a> </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/upgrading-postfix-on-mosxs#post-958 Fri, 06 May 2011 01:23:23 +0000 Fred Turner 958@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Hi Richard (&amp; others)--</p> <p>I know this is outside the normal realm and scope of this site, but I'm not sure where else to turn. I'd like to upgrade Postfix on a PPC Mac OS X Server 10.5 and a Mac Pro MOSXS 10.6. They come w/ v2.4.3 and v2.5.5, respectively, and I need at least v2.6 to implement the tcp_windowsize parameter in the hopes of getting around a sending problem w/ larger messages.</p> <p>Currently, I'm tackling the G4 Leopard Server first, since it is a backup and fouling it up isn't the end of the world. I can get Postfix 2.8.2 to compile and run, and even receive mail, but I must be messing up something with my make statement, as I am unable to use SASL authentication for sending (and I could before). The log shows:</p> <pre><code>May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.101] May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.101]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[192.168.1.101] May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.1.101]</code></pre> <p>I've tried to use a portion of the make statement from the directions here, w/ some tweaking from the docs at postfix.org. Since this is a MOSXS, I have not configured MySQL, so I've left that part out. Here is what I entered last:</p> <pre><code>sudo make -f Makefile.init makefiles CCARGS=&quot;-DUSE_TLS -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/include/sasl \ &quot; AUXLIBS=&quot;-lssl -lcrypto -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2&quot;</code></pre> <p>Any thoughts or insights into why this error might be occurring? I've been unable to find any links to instructions or tips for upgrading the MOSXS installation of Postfix.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Fred </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/problem-with-sqlgrey-and-mysql#post-945 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:32:10 +0000 Lindhardsen 945@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>That's really great service.

This it turns out, is related to that postgrey cannot ponnect to the database.<br /> For some reason, sqlgrey is trying to connect to the socket (I assume) /tmp/mysql.sock!</p> <p>The workaround for this is simple, just create a link from the socket file /private/var/mysql/mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock using:<br /> "ln /private/var/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock".<br /> The disadvantage of this, is that /tmp is emptied on every restart of the server, so I have to manually run this command after each restart.</p> <p>But WHY is this happening? Looking in my sqlgrey.conf, I have the following connection settings:<br /> db_type = mysql<br /> db_name = sqlgrey<br /> # Note: the following are not used with SQLite<br /> db_host = localhost<br /> db_port = default</p> <p>Which is the same as any other component that uses MySQL on the system, and all other works fine!<br /> I have tried to change the location of the mysql.sock file, but that basically causes all other components to fail :-(</p> <p>Is there a hidden setting in perl (which sqlgrey is built upon), which points to an alternative mysql location?</p> <p>Alternatively how can I prevent OSX from deleting the /tmp/mysql.sock link on shutdown?</p> <p>What I see in my system.log file is this:<br /> Apr 4 10:38:52 Minin com.diymacserver.sqlgrey[357]: dbaccess: can't connect to DB: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)<br /> Apr 4 10:38:52 Minin com.diymacserver.sqlgrey[357]: dbaccess: error: couldn't get now() from DB: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)</p> <p>Best regards,<br /> Jan </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/1065-1067-breaks-postfix-setup-with-fix#post-936 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 20:48:06 +0000 Richard 936@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Hi Rob,</p> <p>This is a known problem and if you look at the blog and look at the articles that talk about the security updates you see that this sometimes happens and how to fix it.</p> <p>Here is an example that will help you solve your problem:<br /> <a href="http://diymacserver.com/2010/11/12/mac-os-x-update-10-6-5-and-security-update-2010-007/" rel="nofollow">http://diymacserver.com/2010/11/12/mac-os-x-update-10-6-5-and-security-update-2010-007/</a> </p>
