Failure_to_exec_mailman_wrapper._WANTED_gid_110,_GOT_gid_101.__(Reconfigure_to_take_101?)/did_0+0+1/ Check the GID of user 'popuser' is 110 in /etc/passwd and /etc/group Create a file mm_wrapper.c with the following content: {code} #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char** argv, char** env) { if (setregid(110, 110) != 0) { printf("Set right UID/GID for popuser in /etc/passd,/etc/group\n "); return -1; } (void) execve("/usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper-real", argv, env); /* Should not get here */ } {code} Run these commands: {code:none} mv /usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper /usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper-real gcc mm_wrapper.c -o /usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper chmod 6755 /usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper {code} Taken from: http://7gen.com/personal-blog-entry/2005sep231516/computers/building-web-sites/brute-force-fix-for-mailman-integration-on-plesk-systems See also: http://forum.plesk.com/showthread.php?threadid=27474 1 Plesk Mis-Detecting Distro Version On Update Running WhiteBox Linux 3 and getting an error like: {code:none} Error: You are using Redhat Linux 3.0, but autoinstaller was compiled for Redhat Enterprise Linux 3. Exiting autoinstaller. {code} Then Plesk is mis-detecting your distro version. Change your /etc/redhat-release filel from: White Box Enterprise Linux release 3.0 (Liberation Respin 2) To: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 5) To fool Plesk. 1 Custom Apache Directives For Your Virtual Host Run {code} /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost=yourdomain.com {code} Once you do that, you can happily edit the vhost.conf with anything you need. 1 Plesk IP Changes Are you moving servers or changing IPs on your Plesk setup? Then you need to tell Plesk about the new IPs. To do this: {code} cd /usr/local/psa/bin/ perl reconfigurator.pl mapfile {code} Then edit the mapfile to something like this (e.g. when going from 127.0.0.1 to 10.1.1.0) {code} eth0:127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 -> eth0:10.1.1.0 255.255.255.128 {code} Then rerun: {code} perl reconfigurator.pl mapfile {code} 1 Plesk Mail Forwards If you setup a mail forwarder in Plesk, it will also deliver a copy of the forwarded email to the original recipients mailbox. To stop this from happening, disable the original recipients mailbox. The mail will still be forwarded properly. 1 Forgotten Your Plesk Admin Password? Plesk stores the password at /etc/psa/.psa.shadow The username is always admin. And the 'root' mysql user is renamed to 'admin' and has the same password used for the Plesk login. The plesk login url will be https://ip:8443/ 1 Getting Horde Available At http://yourip/webmail Create /etc/httpd/conf.d/horde.conf and put the following into it: {code:none} Alias /webmail /home/httpd/vhosts/webmail/horde Alias /horde /home/httpd/vhosts/webmail/horde <Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/webmail/horde> php_admin_flag engine on php_admin_flag magic_quotes_gpc off php_admin_flag safe_mode off php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/httpd/vhosts/webmail:/etc/psa:/tmp" php_admin_value include_path "/home/httpd/vhosts/webmail/horde/lib:/home/httpd/vhosts/webmail/horde/pear:." </Directory> {code} And restart Apache: /etc/init.d/httpd restart 1 Using Plesk Behind A Firewall Behind a firewall and can't use http://yourip:8443? Create a subdomain e.g. plesk.yourdomain.com. Then in /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/subdomains/plesk/conf/vhost.conf, put: {code:none} ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass / http://yourip:8880/ ProxyPassReverse / http://yourip:8880/ {code} Then run: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost=yourdomain.com And restart Apache. http://plesk.yourdomain.com/ should then allow you to access the Plesk control panel over port 80. 1 Plesk and Apache ASP If you're getting errors like these: failed to resolve handler `Apache::ASP': Can't locate Apache2/RequestRec.pm in @INC Try installing mod_perl 2.x (if you're using CentOS4/RHEL4, grab the package from CentOS Plus). If you continue to get errors (e.g. Can't locate object method "get" via package "APR::Table") try removing ASP.pm files, and re-installing it: {code:none} # cpan cpan> install Apache::ASP {code} If that doesn't help, try adding this to /etc/httpd/conf/startup.pl: {code:none} #!/usr/bin/perl use Apache2::compat; 1; {code} And this to /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf: {code:none} PerlRequire /etc/httpd/conf/startup.pl {code} Then restart Apache (/etc/init.d/httpd restart). 1 Plesk and AWStats In Plesk 8.1.x, the option to use AWStats instead of Webalizer appeared. However, if you've upgraded to 8.1.x (rather than a fresh install), AWStats may not actually work. Try running /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics and see if you get errors in /var/log/messages about it not being able to find the AWStats scripts like these: statistics: Unable to execute /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awst ats.pl -configdir=/usr/local/psa/etc/awstats -config=yourdomain.com-anon_ftp -dir=/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/statistics/anon_ftpstat/ If you do, you'll need to setup some symlinks to fix things: {code:none} mkdir -p /usr/share/awstats/tools/ cd /usr/share/awstats/tools/ ln -s /usr/bin/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl . mkdir -p /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ cd /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ ln -sf /var/www/awstats/awstats.pl . {code} Now run this command and check if 'yourdomain.com' now has a AWStats page: {code:none} usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics --calculate-one --domain-name=yourdomain.com {code} 2007-05-04 00:11:23.0 2005-09-06 23:48:39.0
