kolab 2.3.4 openpkg - amavisd not functioning

[Paul Klos]

Hi Dirk,

I understood your German message just fine, but usually the language here is 
English, so that's what I replied in.

>From the logging you posted I'd say that amavisd isn't running, that's why ps 
shows nothing and 10024 doesn't show in netstat.

It does seem however, from the amavisd.log you posted, that it does start, 
because you do get this Perl version message

Perl version               5.010000

So it seems for some reason amavisd doesn't stay running. If that's true, 
there can be any number of reasons, such as some issue in the config file, or 
certain file privileges, a port conflict, etc.

If you start kolab, amavisd will start as a deamon and run in the background. 
Your only information will come from the log file, which doesn't tell us a lot.

That's where my question came from. So, you might try these steps:

# Stop the daemon
/kolab/bin/openpkg rc amavisd stop
# then run amavisd 'by hand'
/kolab/sbin/amavisd -u kolab-r -c /kolab/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf debug

Not 100% sure about the command, I've never tried this. I got the options from 
running /kolab/sbin/amavisd -h.

A quick internet search also gave me this:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-trouble

So there's more info out there about how to do this.

Anyway, once you get amavisd running in your console window in debug mode, 
hopefully you'll get some more info that will helpl you solve this.

Please post any strange stuff you might find that you have no explanation for.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,
thanks for your reply and please apologize my most likely not proper 
formatting here in this list. I'm still a bit confused about how to reply 
since I don't received a mail from the kolab users list, don't know why. I 
found your answer on the web page though. I have also send the issue in 
english since I was not sure if the list prefers a specific language. Your 
german seems to be pretty good, anyway, I'll post in english from now on.

I have set the log_level of amavisd to 5 in the file 
/kolab/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf. I'm unsure about what you mean with 
foreground - is there another place, I can set amavisd logging and debug 
options?

Cheers,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Have you tried starting amavisd in the foreground,
with a higher debug level?

Cheers,

Paul
