Ok, I have searched all the forums and haven't found anything like this error. Everyone else's error that looks similar is a logon issue, but it's not a logon issue. here is my output:

Code:

./vadddomain mydomain password

vmysql: sql error[b]: MySQL server has gone away

vmysql: sql error[p]: MySQL server has gone away
Error: (vadduser) can't read domain limits



can someone please help me with this issue? it is just baffling me on why it's not working.
The account that it is using does have all access set at this current time, so I'm almost positive that it's not a permissions problem either.

Thanks,
Blaksmith

I did some more digging, and looked at the logs for mysql, and here is what I found.

Code:

040713  9:09:37  Aborted connection 84 to db: 'vpopmail' user: 'vpopmail' host: `localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets)


Any help will be greatful. Thanks in advance

The issue is now fixed with a downgrade of vpopmail. now I can't get qmailadmin to work at all. It won't accept my passwords, and stuff like that.

I'll just keep pluggin along fixing it..

Yes I to get the same error, I downgraded my vpopmail back to 5.2.2 but it appears that qmailadmin requires at least 5.3.X (according to the ebuild)

I can't remember when Gentoo made the change but I know they changed the way their vpopmail.conf file was setup and for whatever reason when I upgraded vpopmail the new conf file didn't appear. Here's what my file looks like:

Code:
# MYSQL CONNECTION SETTINGS FOR VPOPMAIL
#
# Line 1 defines the connection to use for database reads,
# Line 2 defines the connection to use for database updates/writes.
#
# If you omit line 2, then the same settings will be
# used for both read and write.
#
# settings for each line:
# host|port|user|password|database
#
#
# Note:
#   The value of host may be either a hostname or an IP address.
#   If host is 'localhost', then sockets (Unix) or named pipes (Windows)
#   will be used instead of TCP/IP to connect to the server.
# Read-only DB
localhost|0|vpopmail|*****|vpopmail
# Write DB
localhost|0|vpopmail|*****|vpopmail


If it doesn't look like that, it might explain your problems. I had to delete my old vpopmail.conf file and emerge again to get the new one. I have no idea why it didn't download the new one and allow me to just merge it in via etc-update. But whatever... if your conf file isn't like th above, I'll bet money that's the problem. I did the upgrade so I could use the newest Qmailadmin as well... so I think this might be your problem.

I Xmas wish. Please if you do an ebuild on a package take the time tom mention things or change the file to the new format an syntax.
I f*cked around on this for about two hours including digging around here on the forums.
If Gentoo is going to be a distro that the Linux community is going to look to (maybe if not already) we need more care taken with the ebuilds.

OR SOMETHING.
Sorry fo the rant....but it's just happening more and more....for me at least I don't know if anyone else has had/have similar experience(s).
