oxinstaller --> Authentication failed

Is Cyrus working? You can test it with testsaslauthd command:

testsaslauthd -u oxadmin -p <your_password>

If it says "OK Success" then it is working as expected. If not, check cyrus and pam configuration.

If Cyrus is OK, check that you use correct passwords with oxinstaller. Just in case, I used the same passwords for both --ox-dbpass and --admin-pass. I also had "Authentication failed" problem when I used different passwords. Modify oxinstaller by adding those passwords before running it.

I hope this helps!

mmm to my also I pass that to me and my problem was that imap was not commenting the lines as said wiki to it, please reviews the configuration that you have of imap and returns to try!

IV.1.3. Configure pam

Change /etc/pam.d/imap that it looks like this. Note the <YOURPASSWORDFROMINSTALL> defaults, please enter the password used at the Admindaemon installation here.

#@include common-auth
#@include common-account

auth optional pam_mysql.so host=localhost user=openexchange passwd=<YOURPASSWORDFROMINSTALL> db=open-xchange-db [table=login2user LEFT JOIN user ON login2user.id=user.id AND login2user.cid=user.cid] [where=user.cid=1] usercolumn=login2user.uid passwdcolumn=user.userPassword crypt=1
account required pam_mysql.so host=localhost user=openexchange passwd=<YOURPASSWORDFROMINSTALL> db=open-xchange-db [table=login2user LEFT JOIN user ON login2user.id=user.id AND login2user.cid=user.cid] [where=user.cid=1] usercolumn=login2user.uid passwdcolumn=user.userPassword crypt=1

If you see an error in /var/log/auth.log type "acces denied 'openexchange'@'localhost' ... try change host to sock from mysql. By example for Debian Etch. Note the <YOURPASSWORDFROMINSTALL> defaults, please enter the password used at the Admindaemon installation here.

#@include common-auth

I am mistaken was in these lines.

I try to install OX on a Debian Etch (Xen DomU) system with the help of the (great) installation wiki - now I run into trouble

When I start (cyrus, postfix, saslauthd and apache are running):

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/oxinstaller -f --oxdb-pass=<mypassword> --admin-pass=<mypassword> --maildomain zuhause.xx

btw., mysql-login runs fine:
mysql -h localhost -u openexchange -p configdb

and this too
mysql -h localhost -u oxadmin -p configdb

Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance
