Permissions problem

I am bringing up a new SLES 10, Scalix 11.1.0 server (once it is running Ok I will upged to the latest Sclaix version). I backed up the snapshot of the var/opt/scalix folder from the old server and restored it onto the new server. I hand checked the permissions, but feel I have missed some of them. I wen ahead and installed Scalix and it upgraded my mail store. I can get some, but not all of the services running. I really feel it is a permission problem.

1. Is there a listing of all the folders & files and the correct permissions for them?

2. I ran the omcheck -s -d >fix_perms.sh and the bash ./fix_perms.sh commands. I guess it ran OK, but still am having problems.

Any "quick" way to check & fix permissions?

Thanks

Anyone out there have any ideas on this one? Or am I doomed to hand check every directory & files against my running server?

omcheck -i -s > filename
and
omcheck -d -s > filename

If both of those are run, then almost everything should be sorted out. I had to adjust /var/opt/scalix/??/s/temp manually once before after an omcheck.

Otherwise you will have to compare to a live server, unfortunately. The error logs may point you to the files needed very quickly (/var/opt/scalix/s/??/logs, look for fatal and also do a omshowlog -e and see what it brings up). Much faster than doing a manual permissions comparison.
