Can I just copy all the old mail to the new server and start up Dovecot? Will Dovecot automatically create the indexes and stuff that it needs? Do the names of the actual mail files matter? aurora72 on "64-bit Apache compilation doesn't result in an 64-bit binary" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/64-bit-apache-compilation-doesnt-result-in-an-64-bit-binary#post-790 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:21:40 +0000 aurora72 790@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hello, I'm trying to compile the Apache using the guidelines in "Compiling Apache in 64 bits mode on Leopard" section of this website and using the DIYMacServer config.layout. But, though I apply each direction (including setting the CFLAG to "-arch x86_64"), I still cannot get a "64-bit" Apache binary but rather just a normal (32-bit) binary (as seen from the Activity Manager) 64-bit MySQL compilation on the same machine worked out fine (i.e. mysqld shows up as 64-bit on Activity Manager) So I wonder what I might be missing... Thanks. rbryanh on "Leopard Server, SL Server, Dovecot" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/leopard-server-sl-server-dovecot#post-786 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:42:14 +0000 rbryanh 786@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Despite the fact that my issues concern X Server and that's not primarily what this site is about, I'm still hoping for the counsel of the wise (as opposed to any specific q or a). I've a modest OSX server farm - four hosts, half on Snow Leopard and half (G5s) on Leopard. I've come to loathe Cyrus with a passion I normally reserve for religion and politics, and glad Apple abandoned it, and would like to rebuild the 10.5.x Server systems to use Dovecot. Beyond that, I'd like to rebuild the Leopard systems to be as close to identical to the SL systems as is feasible, but give my aforementioned hatred for Cyrus, mail services seem a good place to start. My concerns are my merely moderate expertise, not breaking Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, or any of the other training wheels that my less savvy staff use, and ending up with something that's more uniform, more elegant, and more reliable than the not-too-bad mishmash I've currently got. Since X Server's mailserver has always been the sharpest rock in my boot, I figure I'll start there. Any advice? -Bryan kvjeevan on "compiling apache in 64-bit mode for AIX 5.3 64-bit machine" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/compiling-apache-in-64-bit-mode-for-aix-53-64-bit-machine#post-784 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:46:35 +0000 kvjeevan 784@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I have downloaded apache 2.2.14 and i need help to compile the apache in 64-bit mode for AIX 5.3 64-bit machine.. I have tried setting CFLAGS=--ppc64 and "--enable-lib64", but still the ./httpd -V command is showing architecture as "32-bit".

Everything ran fine. A few weeks ago I moved to a new building and got a new IP address--I'm at a university and do not have a static IP yet. Everything ran fine for a week or so, then my site went down. I tracked the problem to Apache. The error logs in console give the following: <blockquote>1/13/10 10:55:00 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds 1/13/10 10:55:10 PM org.apache.httpd[76381] dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dylib 1/13/10 10:55:10 PM org.apache.httpd[76381] Referenced from: /usr/sbin/httpd 1/13/10 10:55:10 PM org.apache.httpd[76381] Reason: no suitable image found.

I recompiled and installed the DIYmacServer version of Apache, change the vhost file and httpd.conf files and my site is running fine now. But I can still see in console that com.apple.launchd is still trying to start org.apache.httpd every 10 seconds. I logged into launchctl and tried to stop and remove org.apache.httpd, but it says there is no such process. Should I delete the httpd file in usr/sbin? Is there a launch Daemon that I should unload? Any help would be appreciated.

However, he quit building packages for older versions of osx and only supports Leopard osx versions. I do not want to upgrade to Leopard on this machine, but would like to update my versions of apache2, and php5, mysql5, and install latest versions of python, and possibly get postgresql working too. However, i know all is not right with my old server installations, to begin with, because my log files have been reflecting problems to me for a while: FROM SYSTEM LOG ------------------ Dec 15 08:35:53 Home SystemStarter[56]: Apache 2 Web Server (257) did not complete successfully Dec 15 08:35:59 Home SystemStarter[56]: The following StartupItems failed to properly start: Dec 15 08:35:59 Home SystemStarter[56]: /System/Library/StartupItems/Apache2 Dec 15 08:35:59 Home SystemStarter[56]: - execution of Startup script failed But yet it runs despite the message about failure?
