We are about to migrate 700+ users from 1.5.24 to 2.1.15 and wanted to verify that the previous post still pertains to our situation on 2.1.15 rather than 2.0.16.
Our setup was and will be: Old server: - FreeBSD 4.1.1 - Cyrus IMAPd 1.5.24 - pwcheck_mysql-0.1 (for all access) New server: - FreeBSD 4.8 or 5.1 (maybe 5.1) - Cyrus IMAPd 2.1.15 - SASL 2.1.15 We are not sure how to have the new system check for passwords via mysql. Anyone have information regarding this in 2.1.15? Thanks, -Bob ----Previous Post---- Hi everyone, I'm posting here a kind of step by step guide for the most newbie (like me :-) for the migration of user mailbox from Cyrus 1.5.14 to 2.0.16. This guide worked fine in my configuration: Old server: - Linux SUSe 7.0 - Cyrus IMAPd 1.5.14 New server: - Linux SUSe 7.0 - Cyrus IMAPd 2.0.16 - SASL 1.5.24 - Berkeley DB3.2.9 I'm assuming to have a backup file of mailbox in the old format that includes everything under /var/imap & /var/spool/imap (imapbackup.tar.gz) # 1. Delete the actual spool dir: rm -r /var/spool/imap/* rm -r /var/imap/* # 2. Untar the backup file: (imapbackup.tar.gz) mkdir /tmp/backimap cd /tmp/backimap tar zxf imapbackup.tar.gz # 3. Move the backup to the spool dir: cd imap mv * /var/imap cd ../spool/imap mv * /var/spool/imap # 4. Create the rest of directories: /usr/cyrus/tools/mkimap # 5. Check permission chown -R cyrus:mail /var/spool/imap/* chown -R cyrus:mail /var/imap/* # 6. Reconstruct the mailboxes: su - cyrus /usr/cyrus/tools/undohash /usr/cyrus/tools/dohash cd /var/imap /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u < mailboxes cd /var/spool/imap /usr/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r user.* # 7. Delete the delivered.db: mv /var/imap/delivered.db /var/imap/_delivered.db # 8. Delete the temp dir exit rm -rf /tmp/backimap # 9. Startup the sysem: /usr/cyrus/bin/master &
