Dear all I need some advices from soem experienced guys !!
I have mass up my server by trying to install SpamAssasin to it.
I have try to install the following packages :
e-smith-spamassassin-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.42-1.i386.rpm
perl-Razor-1.20-1.noarch.rpm
e-smith-spamassassin-1.0-2.src.rpm
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.42-1.src.rpm
razor-agents-1.20-1.noarch.rpm
perl-libnet-1.0703-6.noarch.rpm
perl-Net-Ping-2.18-1.noarch.rpm
razor-agents-1.20-1.src.rpm
By using the "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" command.
The install is OK, but at once all connection trying to access the "http", "ftp", and "mail" are all lost.
All web connection to my server had become a "World wide wait" and will show as http 403 error.
All connection to "pop" and "ftp" are come up with password incorrect.......
I can still ping the server and login with Putty via SSL. The console work fine to me, and it seems that the server is working fine...... just the services are dead.......
I have try to Uninstall the rpm by "rpm -e *.rpm" but it only show error.....
any advice ?? Help !!
Thanks !!
Best Regards,

I have also check the system by "ps aux" and it seems that httpd and proftpd is running fine, just not allow me to access it.....
Any idea ?? Please help !! Thanks !!

Not that it helps, but shouldn't it be rpm -e rpm_name_WITHOUT_REVISION.rpm?
Sounds like a good reason to have a development server to me...making changes to a production server can really hurt.
I guess you know this now...

Yap, agree, but still life is like that. (I do believe the massage said "I do it fine in my 5.5......" come with the RPM......)
With the Correct command "rpm -e rpm_name" I can remove the rpm. but still, I can not access the server with pop or http....
Do I have to re-install some RPM to fix it.....
Anyway, thanks for the advice.
Best Regards,

This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but....
The *.src.rpm's are source rpms and you don't need to have them included in your install. Just install the noarch and/or i386/i586 etc.. rpms.
-
Try before/after removing the rpms you installed:
# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update
View the message log for errors:
# tail -100 /var/log/messages
Test access.
