Cyrus IMAP

[enrico.nic]

Hi

I am trying to set up the Cyrus IMAP server (2.2.12) included with HP-UX internet express, on HP-UX 11.11.
I tried to follow the "Managing IMAP" book from O'Reilly for the configuration, but without luck: the conf file
/etc/imapd.conf
is set up as requested, with this content:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus root
srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab
allowanonymouslogin: no
sasl_passwd_check: shadow

the "cyrus" user has been added to the system, the necessary directories have been created, /etc/services has been modified, ?ve even modified the sendmail configuration file, but when I try to start the "master" IMAP process I see this message arising in syslog:
Sep 7 14:33:09 myhost master[24751]: ready for work
Sep 7 14:33:09 myhost ctl_cyrusdb[24753]: incorrect version of Berkeley db: compiled against 4.2.52, linked against 4.5.20
Sep 7 14:33:09 myhost master[24751]: process 24753 exited, signaled to death by 11

The "master" process doesn't stop, but even a
# telnet localhost imap
does not work.

Can anybody please give me a hint ?

Thank you in advance

Enrico

Shalom Enrico,

I'd report this bug to HP, which you have not accomplished with this question.

The error message seems to point to a problem in the software Q&A process.

All work such as adding user cyrus and such should have been done installation and not needed to be done manually.

I'm having the same issue. I called HP as suggested by the replier however HP told me they did not support the third party product.

My error reports as the following:

Hello,

If I were you, I would compile the latest
version without further troubles:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html

Besides, the latest version is 4.6.21.

I manage Cyrus IMAP with Berkeley DB on some
Linux platforms and this is exactly what I
did recently.

And another note, although Cyrus IMAP 2.2.12
is latest stable release, there is also latest testing release 2.3.9:
