Hi Gordon,
Debian squeeze is correct yes although I had to set wheezy in the sources in order to install Exim 4.80. To be honest I'm very new to Debian having used FreeBSD exclusively for the last 7 years and Gentoo before that.

Hi Mark,
Please reply to confirm what operating system that you are using. I think that you are using Debian Squeeze but I am not sure. Please let me know what OS and the version. I want to try to duplicate your problem with the exact same configuration.

I assume then that varchar(255) doesn't define the maximum number of characters allowed in a particular field but rather defines how many characters should always be in that field? Ie any value therein should always be 256 characters? To be honest, I've no idea where to go from here nor how to check why it's populating that field with only
102
characters.

Hi all,
I'm having problems logging in to a fresh exim4u installation. If I leave the default siteadmin password as CHANGE then I can log in no problem but as soon as I change the password I cannot log in anymore. If I create a local domain and try log in as that administrator I can't log in either. On my latest attempt I used http://exim4u.org/svn/exim4u_src/trunk/mysql_setup/mysql.sql so that crypt was set to varchar(255) and to make sure I didn't miss anything else.
Is there anything else I can look at? And, btw, I can't seem to find the siteadmin password in variables.php?
My environment is as follows:
Exim version 4.80
PHP 5.4.4-2
MySQL 5.5.24-4
Apache 2.2.16
Thanks
Mark
