Hello,

I try to install iRedMail, but some errors appears.. like. my mysqlserver crash.. I reinstall the MySQL Server, but the iRedMail doesn`t install any functions... and when I try to install again.. simple show me << SKIP >> in all configuration.

I just have a some mailboxes.. but using MailDir, not using MySQL..

Re: How to reinstall iRedMail?

You can backup your databases if you need something useful, then just remove mySQL and make clean iRedMail installation.
After that just to recover backed databases (optional).

Just read RTFM
System Requirements
iRedMail is designed to deploy on a FRESH server system, which means your server does NOT have mail related components installed, e.g. Apache, MySQL, OpenLDAP, Postfix, Dovecot, Amavisd, etc. Otherwise it may override your existing files/configurations althought it will backup files before modifing, and it may be not working as expected.

Highly recommended to install iRedMail on a FRESH system. Because everything is under control with a FRESH one.
