Permission denied /var/lib/postfix/master.lock error
Hello. This is my first post. I recently migrated to a different server at a different location and now I'm experiencing a weird problem: postfix/master[1281]: fatal: open lock file /var/lib/postfix/master.lock: cannot open file: Permission denied I've googled around and can't get it to work. I've checked permission on /var/lib/ and things look good there: Code: hawk084:/var/lib/postfix# l total 20K -rw--- 1 postfix postfix0 Jan 25 19:06 master.lock -rw--- 1 postfix postfix 1.0K Jan 6 02:48 prng_exch -rw--- 1 postfix postfix 8.0K Jan 6 00:43 smtpd_scache.db -rw--- 1 postfix postfix 8.0K Jan 6 00:43 smtp_scache.db hawk084:/var/lib/postfix# /etc/init.d/postfix status postfix is not running. I uninstalled postfix and re-installed it but, nothing fixes this damn problem. I have exactly the same configurations as from the older server which is also running on debian squeeze. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced for your time.

Thanks for replying. How do I check that? > > Have you checked whether selinux/apparmor/similar could be blocking it? > > Regards, > > Nicolás
Re: Permission denied /var/lib/postfix/master.lock error
I don't think I have selinux or apparmor enabled on my debian server. On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 12:22 PM, FigureoTV SFM wrote: > Thanks for replying. > > How do I check that? > > >> >> Have you checked whether selinux/apparmor/similar could be blocking it? >> >> Regards, >> >> Nicolás
