Service Management Question...

Mailman - The initial mailman setup consists of going to 'SERVER' in the control panel, and clicking on 'Mailman Settings' where you would define the list administrator and password. The icon is in the 'Services' section of the screen. If this icon is greyed out, then either you don't have mailman installed, or the admin/password has already been defined.

Qmail not restarting - could it be that maybe some qmail add-on has messed up your qmail config?

Your rpm query shows:

tools-qmail-logging-1.0-1
tools-qmail-autostart-1.1-1

which AFAIK are not normally installed on a fresh Plesk 7.5.x server by the plesk installer. At least not on a dedicated server.

The error you posted above, actually shows that Apache (httpd) is not starting
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpsdctl start: httpd could not be started
which would be different than qmail not starting. Try running the following commands from SSH:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -v -a
service httpd restart

and post the results here.
 
tried but..

jamesyeeoc thanks for de replay.

I tried je command:

[root@ns1 root]# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -v -a
[root@ns1 root]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
[root@ns1 root]#

It seems everythings ok. Problem is if a domain want to set up mailing list, I get the message:

"You cannot manage the mailing lists because the Mailman component is not installed or configured. Please use the Mailman configuration function at the Server Administration Page"

But Mailman setting in server area is gray.

In "Services management" area:

Web Server (Apache) start icon (gray) stop icon (on) restart icon (on)
SMTP Server (QMail) start icon (gray) stop icon (gray) restart icon (gray)
IMAP/POP3 Server (Courier-IMAP) start icon (gray) stop icon (on) restart icon (on)
DNS Server (BIND) start icon (gray) stop icon (on) restart icon (on)

It seems SMTP server work (webmail horde work good) but not qmail?

Also I have in server installed:

4PSA Advanced Statistics / 4PSA Clean Server / 4PSA Client Backup / 4PSA Integrator / 4PSA Notifications / 4PSA Server Assistant / 4PSA Spam Guardian / 4PSA Total Backup / 4PSA Total Domains

I thougt it may be a configration mistake / conflict with 4PSA Spam Guardian maar found nothing. :(

Anyway, I have qmail and mailman in my server but not working.

Greetings...
 
In the control panel, in Server - Updater, make sure that 'Mailman mailing list manager support' shows 'You have an up to date version'.

From the SSH shell prompt, do the following and see if it shows that mailman is actually installed:

rpm -q mailman

If it does not list 'mailman-someversion', then it is not actually installed.
 
not installed...

I tried command and result:

[root@ns1 root]# rpm -q mailman
package mailman is not installed

But also for qmail say rpm:

[root@ns1 root]# rpm -q qmail
package qmail is not installed

I know in begin qmail was installed, I saw icon in "Services management" area:

SMTP Server (QMail) start icon (gray) stop icon (on) restart icon (on)

Something is gone wrong in server, now It is:

SMTP Server (QMail) start icon (gray) stop icon (gray) restart icon (gray)

Is it normal?
 
Re: not installed...

I tried command and result:

[root@ns1 root]# rpm -q mailman
package mailman is not installed
This would be why you cannot configure it or anything.

But also for qmail say rpm:

[root@ns1 root]# rpm -q qmail
package qmail is not installed
Try rpm -q psa-qmail
not just 'qmail'

Not normal for a dedicated server. But I do seem to remember some strangeness with VPS/Virtuozzo type servers and the Qmail Service Management icons.
 
qmail work bat..

Anyway I've learned that mailman is not installed.
Also I've learned wat commando's. Thanks a lot.

For qmail I tried it (in my dedicated server):

[root@ns1 root]# rpm -q psa-qmail
psa-qmail-1.03-rhel3.build75050506.13

But in plesk changed nothing: :(
SMTP Server (QMail) start icon (gray) stop icon (gray) restart icon (gray) :mad:

I think qmail work in server but has no connect with Plesk Admin Area.

Do you have any idea abaut reason? How can I fix it?
 
QMAIL PROBLEM
[root@ns1 root]# rpm -q psa-qmail
psa-qmail-1.03-rhel3.build75050506.13
This command was not supposed to fix anything, it was to verify you have Qmail installed, which you do. As to why the control panel buttons are all grey now, I don't know what other commands you may have done in trying to fix things, but if you have not already done so, I would reboot the entire server first.

MAILMAN PROBLEM
Assuming that the Plesk installer/updater downloaded the mailman RPM file at some time in the past, the mailman RPM file should be on your drive.

Try looking in:
/root/psa/PSA_7.5.3/RHEL3_std.updates or
/root/psa/PSA_7.5.4/RHEL3_std.updates

or something like that, wherever Plesk put it's downloaded files. You would be looking for a filename similar to:

mailman-2.1.1-5.i386.rpm (version may be different)

Once you have found the RPM file, CD into that directory and do:

rpm -Uvh mailman-2.1.1-5.i386.rpm

(change the exact filename to what you have)
 
thank you..

QMAIL:
Rebooting server didn't help to correct gray icon problem.
MAILMAN:
root directory has nothing. only two files:
cp
rpm-list

Inside rpm-list I couldn't find mailman.
I found many times qmail.

I think mailman is defnitly not installed.
I'll speak with the campany where I hired server.

They will do also updates, paches...

Thank you very much for help.

Have nice day...
