  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.

Problem starting courier Pop3 server

Kroptokin

Regular Pleskian
When I try to start the server I get:

courier-pop3d: bind: Address already in use

The only thing I may have done recently to change the server was run yum update (CentOS) - and I did not stop any services before doing this. (I read something which suggested that might have been a problem).

So - I'm trying to re-start the courier-pop3 server and not sure how to proceed.

Versions: Plesk 12.5.30 and CentOS 6.7

Thanks.

You can kill the process manually.
For staters list the process IDs running with:
Code:
ps -A | grep "courier"

Once you have it's respective proc IDs then you do
Code:
kill -9 *PID*
 
Thanks abdi

The only one running was courierlogger - killing that didn't enable me to start the courier POP3 server.
