qpsmtpd not starting after upgrade [SOLVED]
« on: July 11, 2010, 05:38:59 AM »
Hello everyone

I updated to the latest patches lastnight and after a post-upgrade and a restart qmail no longer works. I am unable to send any email or receive any via the smtp port.

netstat -an reveals that there is no smtp port open.

Has anybody had this issue and if so can you help.

Thanks Kobus

Edit by cactus: Modified subject to read qpsmtpd instead of qmail

Your issue is with qpsmtpd, not with qmail.

You might have the same issue as bug 5977 - a number of users have had problems due to 3rd party repositories being enabled, which leads to incorrection version of some rpms.

Hi

I looked at Bug 5977 but was unable to see any comparison with wrong rpms so have logged http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6123 with I hope all infor needed.

Hi

I followed the advice in bug 6123 and deleted all the non rpm owned perl files. I also removed the temp fix and can now send email as before.

Thanks for the help here and on the bug.

I however still see this in the log for every hosted domain:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Qpsmtpd.pm line 132.

Issues like this do not belong in the forums. Please make a habbit of reporting bugs for issues like this. Any core feature should work error free and should certainly not log issues like this. Please report a new bug for this one. Thanks in advance.
