Rerun Upgraded

Filed under: — sven @ 07:50 GMT

Even thought I was being attacked by a baby and cat while doing so, I got most of Rerun’s core functions up to Debian Sarge last night. This morning I got the rest.

Spam is rolling in, so I guess email works. If this posts, the Blog will be back up. Hopefully the next upgrade will be a hardware upgrade.

  1. hi sven,
    sorry, but my email isn’t working. had the brilliant idea of checking zen.org to see if I could reach that, but not after I emailed Brendan. I can get to the screen where I input id & pw, but then it just hangs. Help! I have a client that has sent me work & I can’t access my email to do the job. :(
    thanks!

  5. Root cause of the failure: Sarge has a version of imapd configured to not allow clear-text logins to the regular IMAP port. Since IMP, the mail part of the Horde web interface, was configure to use the non-SSL port 143 it kept failing. It doesn’t appear to be possible to change the setting, so we’ve had to make IMP do everything via SSL, even though it’s connecting directly to the localhost (127.0.0.1). Weird. Can you get sniffit or tcpdump to give you anything useful for packets to the loopback device?

    So in IMP we had to change servers.php to use the protocol ‘imap/ssl/novalidate-cert’ on port 993. Bleah; we’re potentially encrypting everything twice.
