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.

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-937 Mon, 04 Apr 2011 10:35:47 +0000 Lindhardsen 937@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Hi!</p> <p>I have a problem that has been keeping me puzzled since I installed my OSX "Server" in October:</p> <p>When I restart my server, postfix cannot connect to Dovecot. 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-935 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:07:32 +0000 robcd 935@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Dear Postfix forum,</p> <p>After upgrading my Mac OS X client, I got the following error message:</p> <p>... postfix/smtpd[526]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql</p> <p>I noticed that the /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd executable had been changed, together with who knows what else in that directory. So I restored the old one, only to get a similar error message from the trivial-rewrite executable (in the same directory). So I restored that as well, followed by the cleanup one, and then all is well again.</p> <p>So a couple of questions:</p> <p>* What should I do to fix things properly?</p> <p>* How can I avoid having to do this next time I upgrade the OS?</p> <p>Thanks and best regards,</p> <p>Rob</p> <p>PS Setup has otherwise worked great - many thanks! </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-delivers-to-dovecot-but-user-mail-not-showing#post-917 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:41:42 +0000 erich.dys@bpisys.com 917@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>This is on a 10.5 install per the documentation (64 bit).</p> <p>The primary domain functions normally for mail delivery service, however, 2nd and subsequent virtual domain users inbox mail are not visible via IMAP.</p> <p>The log files show Postfix handing mail off to Dovecot:</p> <p> relay=virtual, delay=0.56, delays=0.54/0/0/0.02, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-will-not-accept-connection-on-port-25#post-919 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 08:16:19 +0000 seventhfire 919@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I'm running pretty much the default install of postfix that comes with Snow Leopard. I can send mail out to the internet in a terminal on the system in question using mail or telnet to port 25 using localhost or the ip on the system.<br /> The problem I'm having is no other systems on my local network can get a connection to port 25.<br /> I've verified with netstat there is a process listening on port 25. I've setup mynetworks in include all ip's on my local network. I've made multiple searches on different forum's trying to figure this out but I'm missing the boat somewhere. Can anyone give me some clue's on what to check. I realize I need to provide some more configuration information but I thought I'd wait until someone lets me know exactly what to post.

Can anyone explain the pros and cons of compiling everything in 64 bits vs 32 bits, considering the kernel will be 32 bits? I am curious as to the impact on memory usage, disk usage, etc. My initial thoughts are that 32 bits will use less memory, processing, etc. I hope to use this mini as a desktop simultaneously as a server(is this a good idea?).

Recently I have set up some secure areas on one of my sites but have noticed that it can be circumvented by using a URL with the folder in question in a different case. For example, I can make <code><a href="http://mydomain.com/ABC/" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/ABC/</a></code> secure but <code><a href="http://mydomain.com/aBC/" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/aBC/</a></code> will circumvent the authentication!</p> <p>This didn't happen with Apache 1.3, I believe because it included mod_hfs_apple which 'compensates' for HFS+'s case insensitivity (<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c3ws31.html)" rel="nofollow">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c3ws31.html)</a>. mod_hfs_apple is not included in my instance of Apache 2 (2.2.4) . Does anyone know if Apple ever upgraded it for Apache 2, and if so, from where I can get it? </p>
