Qmail problems

[bregtbeer]

I tried to configure qmail on my server using the following guide
Qmailrocks updated : Debian qmail installation guide for version 5.0 (Lenny)

Testing my configuration gave some errors.

Roundcube webmail says connection with imap server failed when trying to login

qmailctl stat :

Something obviously wrong here, just can't figure out what ...

Hello,

There is something wrong with your logging scripts :

/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 13691) 1 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 13693) 1 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpdssl/log: up (pid 13692) 1 seconds

The one second uptime is the clue that this is the source of at least one of your problems.

If you copy and pasted files to create them make sure that long lines are really 1 long line that did not get broken into 2 or more lines wile creating the run scripts.

You can copy and paste the run scripts for each of the logs here and we should see the problem.

Also, if it's not too late, my preference for new qmail installs is Life with qmail and not Qmailrocks. LWQ is a great starting point for qmail!

First, thanks for your reply
Second, LifeWithQmail was a lot more difficult to follow. Tried it, and it went wrong ...

So here are my run scripts :

cat /service/qmail-send/log/run
#!/bin/sh
VQ="/var/qmail"

exec env - PATH="$VQ/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" \
setuidgid qmaill multilog t n1024 s1048576 /var/log/qmail/qmail-send
# '-*' '+*ver: status:*' =lstatus


cat /service/qmail-smtpd/log/run
#!/bin/sh
VQ="/var/qmail"

exec env - PATH="$VQ/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" \
setuidgid qmaill multilog t n1024 s1048576 /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd
# '-*' '+*ver: status:*' =lstatus


cat /service/qmail-smtpdssl/log/run
#!/bin/sh
VQ="/var/qmail"

exec env - PATH="$VQ/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" \
setuidgid qmaill multilog t n1024 s1048576 /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpdssl
# '-*' '+*ver: status:*' =lstatus

Use vi to edit the files. Are the line breaks where you expect them. Did you set the permissions correctly with chmod as instructed in these steps - Configure Daemontools - Updated Qmail installation guide for Debian ? Are the permissions on your logging directory correct to that qmail can create log files in that directory? Do a "ps -auxwww" and look for errors after the readproctitle process. Most likely whatever problem you are having there will be a clue in that output.
