Open WebMail ERROR Messages and Solutions
=========================================
By Thomas Chung
Error Message #1)
SYMPTOM:
After upgrading perl packages, you're seeing index db error and can't login
ERROR:
Couldn't update index db
SOLUTION:
You may need to re-initialize openwebmail with openwebmail-tool.pl
# /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-tool.pl --init
It may also ask you to update dbm.conf and re-run the openwebmail-tool.
# vi /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/dbm.conf
dbm_ext .pag
dbmopen_ext none
dbmopen_haslock yes
# /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-tool.pl --init
Error Message #2)
SYMPTOM:
You deleted openwebmail RPM package by issuing 'rpm -e openwebmail'
and you removed the entire openwebmail directory from /var/www/cgi-bin directory.
Then, installed a fresh new openwebmail RPM package and tried to login to your
existing openwebmail account but your're getting following error.
ERROR:
Mail Filter Error (/home/tchung/.openwebmail/webmail/filter.book dbm open error)
SOLUTION:
# cd /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail
# ./openwebmail-tool.pl --init
Please change './etc/dbm.conf' from
dbm_ext .db
dbmopen_ext none
dbmopen_haslock no
to
dbm_ext .db
dbmopen_ext .db
dbmopen_haslock yes
And execute './openwebmail-tool.pl --init' again!
ps: If you are running openwebmail in persistent mode,
don't forget to 'touch openwebmail*.pl', so speedycgi
will reload all scripts, modules and conf files in --init.
# vi etc/dbm.conf
dbm_ext .db
dbmopen_ext .db
dbmopen_haslock yes
:wq (save and quit)
# ./openwebmail-tool.pl --init
