Emerged net-mail/vm-pop3d 1.1.6. Gentoo 1.2, portage 2.0.37, gcc 2.95.3. Upon trying /etc/init.d/vm-pop3d start : /etc/init.d/vm-pop3d: /etc/rc.d/config/functions: No such file or directory # ls -l /etc/rc.d/config/ ls: /etc/rc.d/config/: No such file or directory # ls -l /etc/rc.d/ ls: /etc/rc.d/: No such file or directory So the /etc/rc.d directory isn't even there. This makes sense to me as I didn't think gentoo used rc.d.
i get the same thing, however, look @ the ebuild for it.. src_install () { einstall || die "make install failed" dodoc AUTHORS CHANGES COPYING FAQ INSTALL README TODO exeinto /etc/init.d newexe ${FILESDIR}/vm-pop3d.rc3 vm-pop3d insinto /etc/conf.d newins ${FILESDIR}/vm-pop3d.confd vm-pop3d I sense a change is needed :)
pay no attention to that, im a retard, sorry.. but still i get the same thing
the vm-pop3d ebuild and configuration files have been updated. The new files should be available in portage within 24 hours. rm /etc/init.d/vm-pop3d rm /etc/conf.d/vm-pop3d emerge unmerge vm-pop3d emerge rsync emerge vm-pop3d Let me know how things go with the update
I performed all steps indicated: # emerge vm-pop3d Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge net-mail/vm-pop3d-1.1.6 to / >>> md5 ;-) vm-pop3d-1.1.6.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking vm-pop3d-1.1.6.tar.gz /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/net-mail/vm-pop3d/files/makefile.in.diff: No such file or directory !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_unpack, Line -114, Exitcode 1 !!! patch failed
I have upload the missing diff file. It should be available on rsync servers within 24 hours. Let me know how things go.
Okay, downloads and compiles properly now. However upon /etc/init.d/vm-pop3d start: * Starting vm-pop3d...... (no [OK]) # /etc/init.d/vm-pop3d stop * Stopping vm-pop3d...... (again no [OK]) /var/log/mail.log: Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6629]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6630]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6631]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6633]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6632]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6635]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6634]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6636]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6637]: Quitting on signal: 15 Sep 28 12:38:21 fire-eyes vm-pop3d[6638]: Quitting on signal: 15 Any other information I could give you to help?
http://www.reedmedia.net/software/virtualmail-pop3d/ Please see here for some installation instructions. Being that vm-pop3d is intended for virtual domains, there is some post-install configuration that is needed to acheive proper operation. If you are just looking for an imap/pop3 server for a single domain I would suggest trying courier-imap. AFAIK, all default directories for installation are there in the vm-pop3d build but there is probably some MTA configuration still needed along with some directories created for the virtual domains. Please let me know how things go for you.
I see. I will try out courier-imap then, it sounds more suited to my task. Hopefully I at least found a problem which was able to be fixed. Thanks!
emerge rsync emerge courier-imap /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d start AND rc-update add /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d default That should get you up and running right away with support for maildir format mailboxes.
