OpenSuSE cannot start all mail-subservices

[metalalisa]

Hi,

I have openSUSE 12.2 with Plesk 11.0.9 Update #48.
After system and Plesk upgrade service courier-imap cannot started properly. It only starts pop3-service, but not all others - pop3s, imap(s).

I found in logs only one message with mail error:

/var/log/messages:May  7 07:14:29 syslog-ng[679]: Error opening file for writing; filename='/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog', error='Permission denied (13)'

Is this the reason? Can you help me?

make sure that you have correct permissions for this file

# stat /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

Access: (0640/-rw-r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

permissions are correct

# stat /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

Access: (0640/-rw-r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

Check SELinux status and try to disable it.

While this looks to be a certain problem, it's unlikely that this is the cause.

Please try killing all Courier processes in the system manually and restarting courier-imap service. Systemd has some quirks with composite service scripts (which courier-imap is in 11.0.9).

I have restarted server today three times. Each time - the same.
Finally I added into /etc/init.d/ script that starts all services manually.
