I’m working on trying to get the qmailrocks project going on a vmware instance of Ubuntu 9.04.

I’ve come across a road block. When I get the part where the command to enter is:

./config-fast your\_fqdn\_hostname**

I entered:

./config-fast post.cyberserfdom.com

This came back with a response of:

-bash: ./config-fast: No such file or directory

I tried:

sh config-fast.sh post.cyberserfdom.com

This came back with a response of:

Your fully qualified host name is post.cyberserfdom.com

Putting post.cyberserfdom.com into control/me

Config-fast.sh: 5: cannot create QMAIL/control/me directory nonexistent

Chmod: cannot access 'Qmail/control/me' no such file or directory

Putting post.cyberserfdom.com into control/defaultdomain

Config-fast.sh: 13: cannot create QMAIL/control/ defaultdomain directory
nonexistent

Chmod: cannot access 'Qmail/control/ defaultdomain' no such file or
directory

Putting post.cyberserfdom.com into control/plusdomain

Config-fast.sh: 20: cannot create QMAIL/control/ plusdomain directory
nonexistent

Chmod: cannot access 'Qmail/control/ plusdomain' no such file or
directory

Putting post.cyberserfdom.com into control/locals

Config-fast.sh: 23: cannot create QMAIL/control/ locals directory
nonexistent

Chmod: cannot access 'Qmail/control/ locals' no such file or directory

Putting post.cyberserfdom.com into control/rcpthosts

Config-fast.sh: 27: cannot create QMAIL/control/ rcpthosts directory
nonexistent

Chmod: cannot access 'Qmail/control/ rcpthosts' no such file or
directory

Now qmail will refuse to accept smtp messages except to post.cyberserfdom.com

Make sure to change rcpthosts if you add hosts to locals or virtualdomains!

I’ve tried searching the internet based on the error messages:

• Config-fast.sh: 5: cannot create QMAIL/control/me directory nonexistent
• Chmod: cannot access ‘Qmail/control/me’ no such file or direction

One solutions suggested that I try the installation from Lifewithqmail.org, but I thought that might conflict with the instsructions in the qmailrocks instructions somehow.

Another suggested that permissions was the issue but I’m running the commands as root.

I even tried running apt-get install qmail, which also got me nothing.

Any ideas or suggests?
