Topic: Amavis-ng + Clam Antivurs + sme 5.6

[Steen Hadsbjerg]

I have tried to install Amavis and Clam on a server running 5.6b7 using Damiens howto.

Installation runs quit well but afterwards qmail gives an error.

Checking the log says:


Failed to open /etc/amavis/amavis.conf: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/AMAVIS.pm line 105

Unable to open config file /etc/amavis/amavis.conf:  at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/AMAVIS.pm line 106.

smtpfront-qmail[7358]: Temporary qmail-queue failure.

smtpfront-qmail[7358]: bytes in: 1123 bytes out: 203



The amavis.conf is located in /etc/amavis/ - perhaps it has something to do with the right permissions?

Any help would be appreciated,

Steen

From the error message you'd assume so. Run

rpm --setperms -qf /etc/amavis/amavis.conf

The file should be readable by the unprivilaged user set in your configuration file.

That did the job.
