Package: citadel-server Version: 902-3 Severity: grave Hi,
I installed citadel-server (but not citadel-mta). I will note that citadel-server does not conflict with mail-transport-agent (citadel-mta does, but not citadel server). I attempted to install citadel-server on a system that already had an MTA installed, using the same command as I showed in #862296. When doing so, my console -- and every ssh session to root -- became nearly unuseable as it was flooded with continuous complaints about the port 25 already being in use, at such a rate that I couldn't see anything I was typing. I was eventually able to blindly type "killall citserver" to get rid of this problem. The messages looked like this: Broadcast message from systemd-journald@sid (Wed 2017-05-10 14:54:20 CDT): citserver[16663]: WX Modules: Citadel had trouble on starting up. We couldn't bind all ports you configured to be provided by citadel server. This means, citadel won't be the service provider for a specific service you configured it to. If you don't want citadel to provide these services, turn them off in WebCit via: "Admin->System Preferences->Network". The failed ports and sockets are: TCP port 0.0.0.0:25: (SMTP-MTA) If you want citadel to provide you with that functionality, check the output of "netstat -lnp" on linux Servers or "netstat -na" on *BSD and stop the program that binds these ports. You should eventually remove their initscripts in /etc/init.d so that you won't get this trouble once more. After that goto "Administration -> Shutdown Citadel" to make Citadel restart & retry to bind this port. To make both ways actualy take place restart the citserver with "sendcommand down" The errors returned by the system were: Can't bind: Address already in use You can recheck the above if you follow this faq item: http://www.citadel.org/doku.php?id=faq:mastering_your_os:net#netstat -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages citadel-server depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.60 iu libc-ares2 1.12.0-2 ii libc6 2.24-10 iu libcitadel4 902-1 ii libcurl3 7.52.1-5 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28-12+b1 iu libev4 1:4.22-1+b1 ii libexpat1 2.2.0-2 iu libical2 2.0.0-0.5+b1 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.44+dfsg-4+b1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.5 iu libsieve2-1 2.2.6-1.3 ii libssl1.0.2 1.0.2k-1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii openssl 1.1.0e-2 ii patch 2.7.5-1+b2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages citadel-server recommends: pn db4.6-util <none> ii shared-mime-info 1.8-1 Versions of packages citadel-server suggests: ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.89-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/citadel/messages/aideopt [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/aideopt' /etc/citadel/messages/changepw [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/changepw' /etc/citadel/messages/dotopt [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/dotopt' /etc/citadel/messages/entermsg [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/entermsg' /etc/citadel/messages/entopt [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/entopt' /etc/citadel/messages/goodbye [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/goodbye' /etc/citadel/messages/hello [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/hello' /etc/citadel/messages/help [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/help' /etc/citadel/messages/mainmenu [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/mainmenu' /etc/citadel/messages/newuser [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/newuser' /etc/citadel/messages/readopt [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/readopt' /etc/citadel/messages/register [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/register' /etc/citadel/messages/roomaccess [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/roomaccess' /etc/citadel/messages/unlisted [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/citadel/messages/unlisted' -- no debconf information
