had you check if ~controls/ldapserver exists?
Yes, it is present freebsd# cat /var/qmail/control/ldapserver 127.0.0.1 freebsd# ls -l /var/qmail/control/ldapserver -rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 10 Jul 15 17:58 /var/qmail/control/ldapserver freebsd#
If you have compiled qmail with LDAPLIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -lldap -llber and LDAPINCLUDES=-I/usr/local/include and still get errors like above,
Yes, i have done this.
you need to add the path to these libraries to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig command as root.
I have added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf freebsd# cat /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/local/lib freebsd# ldconfig freebsd# /var/qmail/rc alert: cannot start qmail-lspawn or it had an error! Check if ~control/ldapserver exists. freebsd#
If qmail refuse to start even after this, try increasing ulimit in /var/qmail/boot/qmail/run file and then check if the process exist.
ulimit was "ulimit -c 204800" i changed it to ulimit -c 504800 freebsd# cd /var/qmail/boot/qmail/ freebsd# ./run alert: cannot start qmail-lspawn or it had an error! Check if ~control/ldapserver exists. freebsd# What else i should look into ? The installation is done as per instructions at http://www.qmail-ldap.org/wiki/Full_Installation_Guide_-_Basic_Qmail_Installation Thanks, Yujin
