Cool, that seems to have installed. I'll update later on how it works :)

I'm just looking at it now.

While it appeared to have worked directly after updating and fetched a batch of mail from the 'catch all' email it appears to have been a 1 time collection and then stopped.

That seems to be confirmed by the cron email time stamps which skip 10 mins (I'm on a 5min collection) at that point before resuming as before with this message repeated 3 times as before:   

Code: [Select]
/var/lock/fetchmail/fetchmail.pid: Permission denied
fetchmail: lock creation failed. 

So I think still broken. I could try the yum again ?

First attempt it asked for a pw but then locked me out. I restarted the Putty session and:
Code: [Select]
[root@sme10 ~]# ll -d /var/lock/fetchmail

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Sep 10 09:25 /var/lock/fetchmail
[root@sme10 ~]# ll /var/lock/fetchmail
total 0
[root@sme10 ~]#

yum update e-smith-email --enablerepo=smetest
followed by

Code: [Select]
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
I ran the yum command a second time and get a "No packages marked for update" response at the end.

The machine did reboot. I've rebooted again just to see but no change.

as a quick test, change contents of
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fetchmail.conf

to
d /var/lock/fetchmail 0755 qmailr qmail

restart and let have it

+Added: new update does that

I did the edit with nano.

All seems OK on the restart. No cron emails, the catch all is collecting. Email appears to be sorted to the correct accounts. The other pop collection in 'mail retrieval' seems to be OK (but just testing again).

I think that would appear all to be working.

I'll let this run for a while before rebuilding it again and going live. Will this change pick up automatically now with the new update ?

Do I need to log a new bug or is it already logged ? I see one from mid Summer but I'm not sure it's the same as marked as fixed.  That said reading back, I think it must be this:

Nice work, thanks for the patience, and verification.

We need more 'doers' !!

If you want to get a bit more involved just ask DM me for a Rocket account here.

Glad to be able to help. I do have a rocket account and am glad to help if my limited skills (and time) can be applied. My linux is super basic but I was excited to be able to make the nano edit !!!!

All that said, I'm happy to test and assist to get roundcube up and running plus affa.  They are the missing links from my current v9 set up. 

I'll ping a hello back on rocket to make contact again.

Moving on.

The server has been 'up' for about 48hrs.  However the /webmail/ returned a 'service not available message when I tried to look at it this afternoon.  I thought the PC may have just gone into sleep mode but I think not - server manager was available. That said I did press the space bar on the keyboard so maybe that awoke it, but /webmail/ stayed off line.

On reboot /webmail/ is back.  I'll leave it overnight and report back.

next time, check httpd/error_log

might encounter php74 fpm not reachable

if it is this a simple
systemctl restart php74-php-fpm.service



but still this should not happen.
