[CSCMail-Users] Installation of CSCMail fails

[Dierk <di...@wi...>]

Hi !


I've got a problem installing CSCMail on my Linux system (Suse 6.4), I
used CSCMailInstaller.pl. After everything was download and compiled by
the script cscmail could not launch:  add_accel_group ...
So I downloaded the gnome-perl package to upgrade my system as described
in the FAQ. But after running "perl Makefile.PL" in the "Gtk" directory,
"make" produces a lot of error messages (attachment).
What's wrong???

TIA

    Dierk Erdmann

gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory ...

This would mean that you don't have the Gtk+ headers installed.  I do not
know what SuSe uses for package management, but make sure you have not
just Gtk+ binaries, but also Gtk+ "development" packages installed.

[CSCMail-Users] Change of Database

[PRW <pr....@ho...>]

I've been working with the CSV database but now want to change to MySql. 
How do I do this so CSC 1.7.8 will recognize the database.

Thanks
Paul

There is a script in cscmail/migration-scripts called dbswitch.pl that will
handle this for you...

Step one:

install DBD::mysql via CPAN or tarball so that you have the correct perl
drivers for MySQL

Step Two:

make an empty DB that is the same as your username.

Step Three:

cd to the cscmail directory
./migration-scripts/dbswitch.pl CSV mysql

This MUST be run from your cscmail base directory (where csclib.pl is sitting)
since it uses csclib.pl to figure out the most current db structure.

Then edit ~/.cscmailrc and change DatabaseDriver: CSV to DatabaseDriver: mysql

(You may need to put in a username and password too....)

This should be:
 ./migration-scripts/dbswitch.pl CSV mysql

(one dot, not two...)

Silly me...
