    We have installed Cpanel stable release (WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-S119) on Fedora Core 6. Everything went fine, except POP and imap servers. it seems that the CPANEL installer did not install courier properly as it could not find the rpms

    ----
    This is the courier-authlib 0.57 installer release number 6cp for platform
    courier-authlib is out of date (package courier-authlib is not installed != courier-authlib-0.57-6cp)
    courier-authlib-pipe is out of date (package courier-authlib-pipe is not installed != courier-authlib-pipe-0.57-6cp)
    courier-authlib-devel is out of date (package courier-authlib-devel is not installed != courier-authlib-devel-0.57-6cp)
    Using newyum support...

    -----

    Forcing an install of exim does not fix this.
    Also forcing courier using /scripts/courierup --force fails

    -----
    Building RPM.........Timeout on recieve..Died at /scripts/cPScript/HttpRequest.pm line 84, <KR> line 1006.

    Is there any other way of installing POP and imap and fix courier ?

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks

    It is being addressed. Your best bet at the moment, until FC6 is officially supported, is to grab the latest SRC tarballs from our site (http://layer1.cpanel.net/pub/courierinstall) and compile it. grab the src package from the highest verson number because it has fixes specifically for FC6.

    Update on the Fedora Core 6 install

    The source compile fails on my server that's running Fedora Core 6 (64-bit) on a Xeon 3.2Ghz SMP with 2 GB.

    But I managed to fix it.

    The way to get it working is to get the following RPM's from

    http://layer1.cpanel.net/pub/courierinstall/courier-authlib/0.58-0cp/64/fedora/5/
    (get the correct ones for your system)

    courier-authlib-0.58-0cp.x86_64.rpm
    courier-authlib-devel-0.58-0cp.x86_64.rpm
    courier-authlib-pipe-0.58-0cp.x86_64.rpm
    courier-authlib-userdb-0.58-0cp.x86_64.rpm
    courier-imap-4.1.0-0cp.x86_64.rpm

    Then rpm install them one by one.

    Restart courier with /scripts/restartsrv_courier

    everything should be running.

    Verify with
    netstat -a | grep pop & netstat -a | grep imap and then followed by telnet to ports 110 and 143

    One more thing I forgot to add.

    When you do this, auth to mailboxs fails and webmail fails.

    The way to fix that is to run /scripts/maildirmenu

    then convert everything to "mbox" format. once that's complete. Run it again and convert it back to "maildir" format. Auth and webmail should be working now

    I missed that line in your original post. That is what is actually causing the problem, an improper use of alarm, which causes the courierup process to exit while tring to build the RPM from source. We'll have to do another audit on that code since I thought we caught all those.

    A little tip: /scripts/courierup --verbose --source

    That causes the process to output everything to the screen, and shows what happens when compiling the source RPM.
