I have been trying to install iredmail. I have been using these instructions http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/wiki/Installation

After I download the pkgs and try to change directory to the link required. cd path/to/iredmail-0.7.0-beta1 I get the following error message

[root@server pkgs]# cd /path/to/iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1
-bash: cd: /path/to/iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1: No such file or directory
[root@server pkgs]

I went into the iredmail forum and they ask if

Did you replace '/path/to/iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1' by real path on your server?

ok so how do I do this. I really need to get this working.... Please someone help me out.

You need to replace "path/to" with the path YOU actually put redmail-0.7.0-beta1. You're the only one who knows where you unpacked it to.

open a terminal
go to the directory where you downloaded iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1
type
I would suggest to learn the basics before you continue.

As I said I am very new. I just opened my server and typed wget put the url in and it downloaded ireadmail. So how do I find the directory? Thank You

I am reading it now. Thank You I never even knew this existed and it is most helpful. It shows me how to find my directory and see what is in it. Maybe I can figure it out from here...Thanks Again.

Well I found the directory it is ./var/cache/yum/iRedMail
I am trying to change directory and type cd /var/cache/yum/iRedMail however it says

[root@server ~]# cd var/cache/yum/iRedMail
-bash: cd: var/cache/yum/iRedMail: No such file or directory

What am I doning incorrectly?

use
note the "/" before var

Kind regards

Thank You so Very Much. I might just be able to get this installed today.

Hi Again:

When I typed in your command tar-xvjf iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1
I get this error message [root@server iRedMail]# tar-xvjf iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1
-bash: tar-xvjf: command not found I also tried tar-xjf iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1 and it did not work either.

It's a directory
type
FYI, its
note the space between tar and "-"

Kind regards

I am missing something here. here is where I am [root@server iRedMail]# Now I need to replace the real path with tar-xvjf iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1 Correct?

If the name is iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1, it's a directory, seems to me you already untarred the file using tar.
So normally
will bring you into the directory iRedMail
Then type
to see the files

indicates you are already in the directory iRedMail.
So continue with the newt step in the manual
Kind regards

Ok I did this and I get cachecookie packages primary.xml.gz primary.xml.gz.sqlite repomd.xml

I then tried to type this command bash iRedMail.sh and it tells me no such file or directory. I'm really getting confused so I am greatful for your help

first type
This will bring you back to the iRedMail-0.7.0-beta1 directory
then
Kind regards
