Cyrus won’t start up and install when installing OSX Server 10.5 on PowerMac G5

[risardi]

Hi everyone,

I just hang up the phone with apple techie that is reluctant to support me without any contract. I am currently learning OSX Server with 10.5.4. I have attempted installation more than 6 times however it seems that the cyrus email databases and its corresponding files were not installed properly. (I am under impression from apple marketing gimicks and its workstation that once you install it, boom!! it’s up and running and to forget about it) After configuring the email e(either way with the wizard or manually) upon clicking Start Email, the POP and IMAP state goes from stopped to Starting Up and stay there even though the incoming and outgoing status has changed to Running. Upon trying to find /var/imap, I realise there is not such a directory. So I manually created it, however the logs still shows that the cyrus program cannot open the file as the database file wouldn’t exist. Could you anyone with more experiences point me to a way or a doco to solve this problem? You assistance will always be remembered.

Regards,

R.
