Hello,

This is simply not enogh info.
You need to check the qmail files , permissions etc. Is the mail enabled fro the domains ?


If all are in place run mchk -v. If tehre are problems there it will throw some errors that will help you further.

imapd: /etc/courier-imap/shared/index: No such file or
directory

i found the problem if u cann't recive any emails check that the folder isn't currpted so fixing that should fix it

Hi,

I also got this in my maillog:
----------------------------------------
Jan 15 15:58:53 host imapd: /etc/courier-imap/shared/index: No such file or directory
----------------------------------------

What do yo mean by "fixing" the directory?!

On my host, the directory /etc/courier-imap/shared/ exists, but there's no index dir or file...

 

[Ze0n]

well really if you think of it index is the directory for shared folder there is no index file or directory just means shared folder must be currupted or not accessable by imap imap use's the shared folder when it sends recived and process's mail for users

webhost:/etc/courier-imap/shared# ls -a

webhost:/etc/courier-imap/shared#cd ..

If you see in your logs:
Jun 4 16:11:18 ip-97-74-127-169 imapd: /etc/courier-imap/shared/index: No such file or directory

you need to check perms and ownership on /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

# ls -la /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
-r-s--x--x 1 root qmail 25828 Apr 26 15:20 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
perms are fine, but ownership is not
# chown qmailq:qmail /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
# ls -la /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
-r-x--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 25828 Apr 26 15:20 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
[root@ip-97-74-127-169 ~]# service qmail restart
Stopping : Starting qmail:
