Cyrus-IMAP Server Dead -- Any suggestions???

[Alain Spineux]

Do you trust your hardware ? Memory, Harddisk ?

You should try to test the integrity of all your files...
First check cyrus :

# /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -V imapd

and if nothing too wrong check all of them

# /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -Va

Forget bs files, configuration files ... and look carefully about
binary and lib files

You can try strace, ann look for the last system call that failed

# strace /kolab/bin/cyrmaster -D

And finaly gdb is your friend, but here their is no symbols !

# gdb /kolab/bin/cyrmaster
.....
(gdb) run -D
...
(gdb) where

But without symbols this is useless

and finally, keep a copy of /kolab in /kolab.save

reinstall kolab, configure it, test it , then move all your data from
/kolab.save into the new one.

Good luck
