bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O
Hello, I use SpamAssassin version 3.4.1 with amavisd-new-2.10.1. I reset my bayes db via "sa-learn --clear". After that spamassassin seems to be unable to create a new empty database. When I run "sa-learn --dump" I get the following error: `[1547] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O: /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks` Since I am pretty sure that this cannot really be a permission issue, I set bayes_path to tmp where permissions are 777, tried again and got the very same error: `[1565] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O: /tmp/bayes_toks ` So the problem seems to lie somewhere else. What else can I try to fix this? Thank you very much in advance

bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O - Amavis-new
Hi all, We've just migrated from an old server running SA 3.2.5 and amavisd-new-2.6.1 to a new machine with SA 3.3.2 and amavisd-new-2.7.1 (both Debian). I copied over the bayes-related files, but Amavis isn't loading them: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O: = /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks I've seen this problem in the past, and have always been able to solve it ... this time I'm stumped. I have bayes_toks in the following places: /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks /var/lib/amavis/= /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks /var/lib/amavis/tmp/= /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks This matches our old setup. bayes_seen is also present in those directories. Files and directories are owned by the amavis user (I've checked, amavis-new is definitely running as this user), and permissions are 744. I've also used 'sa-learn --dump magic -db-path=...' to confirm that the files aren't corrupt. In the spamasssin config files I have: bayes_path = /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes All seems ok, yes? I Thanks, Peter Smith
Re: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O - Amavis-new

My bayes_path = was causing SA to think the path to Bayes was = /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes, which is obviously a relative path for a start. Once I corrected the config, it was fine.

RE: No dbs present modules not installed
SpamAssassin does not appear to be adding anything to any emails at all. I do not know where in our mail chain SpamAssassin was being called (but I guess I'll have to figure it out). We use qmail and clamav with SA. I'll have to go through the boot process step by step to see if I can figure out where SA gets called. If you are familiar with this setup though, any tips to narrow down my search would be appreciated.

RE: No dbs present modules not installed
We do have Simscan installed which I believe is supposed to do what you say and call SpamAssassin. Now all I need to do is find out where.

You want to examine your email process, starting with where mail gets received. With Qmail, you might want to look at Qmail's queuing stuff, or look for signs of simscan or QmailScanner, but I'm no Qmail expert. Some ways of integrating SA into qmail are detailed at: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInQmailWithIfspamh http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInQmailWithQmailScanner And simscan's site is at: http://www.inter7.com/simscan/

Thanks. Good to know that some of those modules are optional.
SpamAssassin was already in place on our server when I started working here.
But sometime after the old Network Admin left, it stopped flagging our
emails.
If bayes is optional for SA, then I could change use_bayes 1 to use_bayes 0
in local.cf and comment out the other bayes_ classifier options and it
should work?

You don't have DBI installed, therefore no databases can be supported.
Bayes is optional for SA, so DBI is optional.
Is it just a matter of running sa-learn -sync? But then it still
doesn't seem like the bayes_path is pointing to the right spot.
I know that this issue has come up many times before and I have spent
several days reading posts and web sites but I have not found the
answer that I am looking for. I was hoping someone on this list could

no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O: /root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
I just upgraded from 2.62 to 3.0.1 and ran into the error: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O: /root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks when I type in sa_learn dump D I had bayes running before the upgrade. I wouldnt mind restarting the bayes DB if I had to. (Ive got lots of spam and ham to put in). One thing is curious It appears to be looking for the bayes_toks in the /root directory. The real file exists in /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks. Anyone know where this path is set?
