DirectAdmin: How to completely rebuild your /etc/virtual directory

[vinayakk]

1) Make a backup of the current /etc/virtual directory.

cd /etc
cp -Rp virtual virtual.backup

2) Ensure it exists:

mkdir -p /etc/virtual
chmod 755 /etc/virtual
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual

3) Create the following script

#!/bin/sh

echo -n '' > /etc/virtual/domains
echo -n '' > /etc/virtual/domainowners

mkdir -p /etc/virtual/`hostname`
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/`hostname`
chmod 711 /etc/virtual/`hostname`
echo `hostname` >> /etc/virtual/domains

for u in `ls /usr/local/directadmin/data/users`; do
{
       for d in `cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$u/domains.list`; do
       {
               echo "$d: $u" >> /etc/virtual/domainowners
               echo "$d" >> /etc/virtual/domains

               DMN=/etc/virtual/$d

               mkdir -p $DMN
               chmod 711 $DMN
               chown mail:mail $DMN

               touch $DMN/aliases
               if [ ! -s $DMN/aliases ]; then
                       echo "$u: $u" > $DMN/aliases
               fi
               touch $DMN/autoresponder.conf
               touch $DMN/filter
               touch $DMN/filter.conf
               touch $DMN/passwd
               touch $DMN/quota
               touch $DMN/vacation.conf
               chown mail:mail $DMN/*

               mkdir -p $DMN/majordomo
               chmod 751 $DMN/majordomo
               chown majordomo:daemon $DMN/majordomo

               mkdir -p $DMN/reply
               chmod 700 $DMN/reply
               chown mail:mail $DMN/reply

               for p in `cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$u/domains/$d.pointers 2>/dev/null`; do
               {
                       echo "$p: $u"  >> /etc/virtual/domainowners
                       echo "$p" >> /etc/virtual/domains
                       ln -s $d /etc/virtual/$p
               };
               done;
       }
       done;
}
done;
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/domains
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/domainowners
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/domainowners
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/domains

Save this code to a script somewhere on your system, eg /root/fix.sh.  Chmod the script to 755, then run it:

chmod 755 /root/fix.sh
/root/fix.sh

4) Create other related email files, and update your exim.conf:

wget -O /etc/exim.conf http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.conf
wget -O /etc/exim.pl http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl
chmod 755 /etc/exim.pl
cd /etc/virtual
touch blacklist_domains whitelist_from use_rbl_domains bad_sender_hosts blacklist_senders whitelist_domains whitelist_hosts whitelist_senders
if [ ! -e limit ]; then echo 0 > limit; fi
mkdir -p usage
chown mail:mail limit blacklist_domains whitelist_from use_rbl_domains bad_sender_hosts blacklist_senders whitelist_domains whitelist_hosts whitelist_senders limit usage

If you are running dovecot (which you most likely are), you will need to re-patch your exim.conf:

patch -p0 < /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/exim.conf.dovecot.patch
patch -p0 < /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/exim.conf.dovecot.patch

Note that you only need to run the patch appropriate to the build system you have.  If you have custombuild, run the 2nd one.  If you don't know what you have, then run them both, as it won't hurt anything if you patch twice.

Then restart exim:  /etc/init.d/exim restart

5) rebuild majordomo:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./majordomo.sh
