NOT ABLE TO ADMINISTER MAIL BOXES WITH CYRUS-2.2.10

[Peter P. Benac]

There is several references in the archives that state the version of cyradm
must be the same as Cyrus IMAP; however since your PHP progams fails I have
to wonder if you have setup all the directories with the correct
permissions.

You should check to make sure permissions on all the IMAP directories are as
discribed in the documenation.

Pete

I do not have permanent solution but I have solved the problem as under :

I have downloaded Autocreate INBOX patch for Cyrus From
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/
Go to your cyrus installation root directory in my case
/usr/local/src/cyrus/
Apply patch to cyrus source with file   with
cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-autocreate-0.1.diff  as under

patch -p0 < cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-autocreate-0.1.diff

The cyrus source of cyrus-imapd-2.2.10 will get patched 
stop master  and saslauthd
in my case 
/etc/init.d/cyrus stop

recompile cyrus

#cd cyrus-imapd-2.2.10
#./configure \
--with-sasl=/usr/local/lib \
--with-perl \
--with-auth=unix \
--with-dbdir=/usr/local/bdb \
--with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/bdb/lib \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/bdb/include \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--without-ucdsnmp \
--with-cyrus-user=cyrus \
--with-cyrus-group=mail \

#make
#make depend
#make install

Add following entries to /etc/imapd.conf

autocreateinboxfolders: sent-mail | Drafts | Templates | Trash
autosubscribeinboxfolders: sent-mail | Drafts | Templates | Trash
Also check for proper value of   autocreatequota:  in /etc/imapd.conf
autocreatequota: 10000

restart master and saslauthd

/etc/init.d/cyrus start

now you can create user and whenever the user logs in with proper password ,
the mailbox is automatically created with default quota and the folders
mentioned in imapd.conf

This has made me possible that at lease the work is not hampered

As far as the problen of  Permission Denied is considered it appears to be
some problem in cyrus  .
I am sure that there is no permission problem on my server as evertthing was
working fine on cyrus 2.0.16 and I do not see in any of documentation /
mailing list that in cyrus-2.2.10 any permissions are changed

There is some problem how cyrus is working with virtual domain but in none
of the server logs the problem is trapped 

I  hope some expert will definately look into this problem and help us

AJIT

If you discover a solution to this problem I would be most grateful if you
could let me know. I have fought this for a week now and did not yet
understand what is going on... 

Thanks,

No I know about ACL but it is not problem related to ACL 
I again repeat what is happening 

The server is running OK on around 1500 users 
I am able to log in to cyradm through administrsative account 
If I try to create mail box I am getting permission denied error 
If I try to issue any command on mailbox then I am getting mailbox not found
error even though mailbox is available 

Aldo all  programs when run as cyrus user from /usr/cyrus/bin/ are working
OK 

It means I can reconstruct mailbox from shell prompt  in /usr/cyrus/bin/ it
ids working OK but If I try same in cyradm then I am getting permission
denied error 

Please Give me some clue as I need to add some users and my work is stuck up

Set the ACL for whatever user you are using with cyradm on the mailbox you 
want to modify or delete to the same ACL as the mail box owner. 

listacl mailbox 
setacl mailbox cyrususer acl 

FYI a search of the archives would have answered this for you  :)

I was succesfully running cyrus-2.0.16 with sasl-2.1.10 and everything was
working fine 

I have upgraded to cyrus-impad-2.2.10 and except cyrus administration part
everything is fine 
If I administer cyrus though cyradm then I am able to log in but I am
getting Permission denied error 
I am not able to do anything with mailboxes 

I have php based mail administration tool for cyrus but php is also geeting
error of unknown mailbox from cyrus
