Re: Signed mail certificate

you first need to generate csr-file (and key). openssl req -new -nodes -keyout mail.server.com.key -out mail.server.com.csr Make sure you use the same host-name as used in your postfix config file (of dovecot or other mail server) in this example mail.server.com , not just the domain. Then send the ...

Re: postsuper: fatal: scan_dir_push: open directory defer: Permission denied

If it can't write the mails, it can't process the mail to send them.

an extreme solution is to delete the dir

Code: Select all

rm -fr /var/spool/postfix
and do a reinstall

Code: Select all

apt-get reinstall postfix
it will recreate the dir with the correct file-settings.

Re: postsuper: fatal: scan_dir_push: open directory defer: Permission denied

It looks like postfix does not have access to one or more directories.
Somehow the rights must have been changed.

You can try:

Code: Select all

chown -R postfix /var/spool/postfix
or

Code: Select all

postfix set-permissions

Re: mysql update add to text

you can use concat to add to already existing string (varchar,text,...)

Code: Select all

UPDATE table_name SET text_field=CONCAT(text_field,'string to add') WHERE  id='1';
It doesn't work if the value is NULL,
It works with an empty string ('').
So you should replace all NULL values with empty string before.

Re: switch in bash

Yes, it look lik this:

Code: Select all

#Set the IP
case $VALUE in
1)
IP=192.168.1.160
NAME='a';
;;
2)
IP=192.168.1.161
NAME='B';
;;
*)
IP=192.168.1.1
NAME='Default';
;;
esac
in this case $VALUE can be 1 or 2,
anything else will result in default.
I think it is a string compare, so you can use anything.

Re: Join 1 table on 2 different tables

You can work with a sub-query an UNION:

Code: Select all

SELECT table1.id,union_table.name FROM table1 LEFT JOIN 
   (SELECT id,name FROM table2 UNION SELECT id,title AS name FROM table3) 
   AS union_table ON table1.other_id=union_table.id;
