SOLVED: Pegasus not starting up after moved

Thomas,

that part is fine. Been down this lane several times checking. Also all the paths were OK on old server. Has searched all files for occurences of //oldserver/share and replaced them with //newserver/share. Rest of the paths are as before the move.

 We found the cause .... securitysettings in the 2003 server......

When the directorytree was created the OS created a security group 'Creators and owners' with some 'advanced rights' that was non-editable on this directory level (Maybe inhereted from somewhere?). We compared with normal 'shared directory' creation and found that this group was not created. So .... let's delete this group and see what happens ..... Voila, Pegasus starts prefectly.

Hi community!

 

Have moved Mercury and Pegasus to Win 2003 Server.

Mercury runs fine ... sends and receives mail OK.

Received mail ends in user mailbox. Sending from Mercury to Internet OK

 But .... When starting Pegasus it just vanishes after presenting login window. No errormessage no nothing.

Suspected access rights and as a test we gave group Everyone all rights.

Also tried when logged in on the server as administrator. No luck.

Next we suspect there is an old pointer to the old machine somewhere, but have searched and searched ...

Have run pmconfig ... have manually checked and changed .ini-files. Have walked through all config windows in Mercury ...no luck.

 Any clue to what we have missed??? I'll be back by the server in half an hour .....

Anoterh point that might be of interest ...

 IMAP works fine when Pegasus is installed locally on workstation.

All folders accessible, but NOT when attempting to use direct Pegasus access.

We really need to know what exactly is the home and new mail directory spec in pconfig.exe and what you have specified in Mercury/32.  FWIW, these should be MSDOS 8 character directory names.
