Failure with Spam Assassin

[fercez]

Looks like there is an issue on Plesk install for my server, or at the configuration, I really dont know. It runs on Red Hat Fedora Core 4.

While trying to activate or enable Spam Filter Plesk responds with an ERROR: PleskFatalException:

Cannot exec 'spammng start -c --max-children 5':
Command line usage invalid.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/class.SpamAssassinMailname.php3:80
SpamAssassinMailname->restart_service(boolean true, boolean false, string '5')

UIPointer->access(string 'POST')
4: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/plesk.php:19

Additional: Spam Assassin remains as stopped, if I try to start it (on Services management section) a similar error that above mentioned ERROR: PleskFatalException:

Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by spamd: Command line usage invalid.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:153
psaerror(string 'Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by spamd: Command line usage invalid.')

Any advice that someone can give me?

Most probably you have old psa-spamassassin version installed. As you have Plesk 8.1 make sure that psa-spamassassin-8.1 package is installed. You can installed appropriate version of packages with help of Plesk Updater through GUI or directly in console by running:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller

Try --max-children=5

I have the exact same problem, amoung many, mine was a fresh install, maybee it just doesn't work?

Any more ideas on this forum?

the search yields only this

also the above suggestion, as it's launched from the plesk gui interface how would you do that?
