Hi,
I have installed cygwin and Exim into 3 different Server 2008R2
(64bit). I'd like to report the following errors that are
consistent through out. This applies to all version of 1.7.x so far.
1/ Exim install script does not complete through the regular
setup.exe system. The script never gets its .done file extension,
so it pops up an error "did not complete", but it does seem to have
completed its install task regardless.
2/ Exim will not run error free, until you do a "rebaseall" on the
installed cygwin. The errors are seen when it tries to do a
mailing, and it creates a lot of "permissions access
errors". Rebasing the system fixes it.
3/ rebaseall script has a fault on line 91, where if [ ! -w
"$TmpDir" ]. This always returns an error, despite the file
location being OK and writable. It's probably a permission issue
again. If we comment out this code part, the script does its job OK.
4/ inetd.exe: This is not an error, but a big inconvenience. When
this inetd is installed as a service (cygrunsrv -I), and then
started as a service (net start inetd), it does not keep a
Services.msc presence. Hence you cannot stop it (net stop
inetd). The only way to stop it is with a force kill process on the inetd.exe.
Thanks for the report about exim. The need to rebaseall on many
systems has already
been mentioned several times. I will make sure that this is clear in
the documentation
and perhaps add a warning in exim-config.
About the postinstall, it's the first time this problem is reported.
Has setup changed its
criterion to add the "done" extension ? It is normal for the last
command in the script
to fail.
