Title: migration to new server = no passwords is working ??
Post by: cyberdude on January 22, 2005, 03:15:50 PM

Hi

I have just finished migrating my old server to a new one, and have rsync'ed all my settings etc. and then run the command:
.../signal-event post-upgrade
.../signal-event reboot

But when trying to access /user-manager OR /webmail
i cant log in, i can log in as admin/root both in /user-manager AND /webmail

I have tryed to update the password in /server-manager on a user, but stil no luck to log in to /webmail

What to do ??

The same Phenomen I had with an older SME 6 Beta. I guess, sometimes the root password will be overwritten.

Try: Reboot into runlevel 1.
Enter passwd and retype your password twice.
Reboot
