Re: Reset siteadmin password?

Hi Tim, thanks for your helpful advice.

Yes I have terminal access to the server and therefore SQL access. I 
just set a temporary password "hehehe" lol (I should use a better one 
but it's fine for now because to even get to the Vexim login screen 
users have to first enter a different more secure password for browser 
authentication).

If possible I would like to use Vexim because that's what we use on our 
mailserver at work. Two reasons why I am doing this is because I want my 
own mailserver and the other reason is to increase my skillset for my 
job. Exim4u would satisfy the first, but not the latter (Unless the 
installation procedures are similar).


I got in to my Vexim install and tried to add a Local Domain but just 
got a blank (white) page in my browser after submitting the form.

I get this output in my error log:

Is there any way to fix this, thanks,

Mike
