Re: [AMaViS-user] Amavis wont start with syslog enabled
Thank you for your reply, at least there is one more person experiencing the problem... Me too, I've rebuilded every single package from CPAN... == There is no kernel issue because 2.4.27 and 2.6 have the same behaviour. == It seems to be a caused by using the latest cpan versions of the packages (at least this seems to apply to both of us) Me either, I'm no perl developer, however as I've written in my first message I debugged as deep as possible into the perl code of amavis - it freezes when executing the library call from Unix::Syslog - which is binary. Even tracing the system call gives no additional information. Something seems to block the read/write call to /dev/log socket - but I can't understand why this should or even could happen... Any more ideas? Are some more people experiencing this problem? Regards, Daniel Von: RobertMitrica [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5. Juli 2007 03:29 An: Daniel Persch Betreff: Re: [AMaViS-user] Amavis wont start with syslog enabled Hi, I'h having the same problem with our server running sa slackware distribution with a 2.6 kernel. I've even compiled all the packages involved several times with no effect. There was no maxproc and $max_servers involved, the perl packages are up to date, everything is made right, but telnet 10024 ($inet_socket_port) freezes with no response. The extreme sollution I have now is to migrate to a backup server that runs a few weeks ago old debian that runs amavis very well. But it's a lot of time loss in migrating all involved apps and settings. Still searching for a sollution, but I'm not a perl programmer, so little chances to do it fast.

Re: [AMaViS-user] Amavis wont start with syslog enabled
Hi, thanks for your quick reply. However - test.pl works perfecly whith 'su amavis' but amavis still does not want to run. In addition to that an strace should have given me a EACCESS if a permission problem had been the reason why... Chrooting is disabled - I've just played around with it. Idea: Is there a possibility to run amavis as root to exclude any access-problems?
