postfixadmin error Table 'postfixadmin.config' doesn't exist

  • 772

I am trying to get postfixadmin to work on my Ubuntu 17.10 system. This is the error I am getting:

DEBUG INFORMATION:
Invalid query: Table 'postfixadmin.config' doesn't exist

Check your error_log for the failed query.

Please check the documentation and website for more information.

the /var/log/apache2/error_log shows some permission denied error:

A MySQL database for postfixadmin has been started, but the script did not add any tables.

How can I fix this?

permissions php apache2 postfix

    I found that running https://yourdomainname/postfixadmin/setup.php helped me find the problem. And that in fact the table config was missing, because the install process never got triggered. It was using setup.php that made things start to fall in place.
