Email accounts not showing after transfer

[bbunlock]

Hi I have just transfered over accounts from 1 server to a new server, managed to get the accounts all sent over however when loging into cpanel and going to email accounts there are no accounts listed (and there should be)

I have checked the contents of the /home/user/ folder and all files have been transfered including mail and etc but they email accounts just do not show in cpanel?

can anyone suggest a way to solve this please

regards

Hello Wayne,

Could you try running "/scripts/mailperm" and wait for it to process, then see the results? Sometimes, it could be due to incorrect file permissions on the /home/username/etc or /home/username/mail folders.

Thanks!

ran the script /scripts/mailperm from root (as root) and it was done instantly, however I still have no email addresses showing in cpanel, I have even done a rsync between the /home dir from old to ne server, so everything that was in the /home/username/ folders is now on the ne server but still no email accounts show up in cpanel?

any other sugestions ould be appriciated, I have another 3 days to solve this before the old server is taken down

ok found the resolution and thought I would share it here in case others have similar problems.

As this was a new server the accounts were transfering to it had not been setup completly, I had not configured apache or php or anything else, I transfered the accounts first onto a brand new server and that was the problem.

I decided to finish the setup of the server yesterday so went through the easyapache process, after I set this new server up with the same (vary similar) settings as the old server all the email accounts were working fine.

I think the problem was with not having mod_security setup on the new server as I was seeing errors regarding this in the transfer logs.

So my advice get the destination server setup in a similar way to the old server and then do the transffers and everything should be fine.

hope this helps someone

regards

wayne

strange one how we can relate the email account listing missing in cPanel with the easyapache ? . Is there anything like that ?, or did you done anything else? Like complete the WHM initial configuration after cPanel installation. Glad to here your issue fixed....
