Hi all,
Again with one of my questions. I am trying to run a murder installation,
with two boxes. My idea is to run a frontend/backend box in unified config
and one extra backend. The thing I was trying to set up is to run the
frontend/backend/mupdate master on the same box, but it looks like it is not
possible. Looking at the source code at imap/mupdate.c we have something like
this:
if (masterp &&
config_mupdate_config == IMAP_ENUM_MUPDATE_CONFIG_UNIFIED) {
/* XXX We currently prohibit this because mailboxes created
* on the master will cause local mailbox entries to be propagated
* to the slave. We can probably fix this by prepending
* config_servername onto the entries before updating the slaves.
*/
fatal("can not run mupdate master on a unified server", EC_USAGE);
}
I found one other reference on the mailing list but no answers:
http://www.irbs.net/internet/info-cyrus/0604/0307.html
So, is there anyway to run the mupdate master on the same node where the
frontend/backend unified config is running? or do I need to place it in a
different box? on one backend?
You would need to run the mupdate master as a separate installation of
cyrus (at least a separate configdirectory). The backend and the mupdate
master cannot share the same mailboxes.db file. Just guessing on that
part, but it seems logical to me.
