Spamassassin and spammng

SOLVED: Spamassassin and spammng

I wonder if any one else has come accross this problem.

When I try to save the Spam filter configuration (spam assassin settings) - I get a nasty message:

Cannot exec 'spammng start -C'
Unable to start server

In the plesk error log I have:

Can't remove /opt/psa/bin/psa-spamc: Permission denied, skipping file.
fatal: setuid to uid 110 failed

This problem is starting to be a pain in the jacks.

This is a clean install of Plesk 7.5.4 running Debian 3.1

The .deb file for psa-spamassassin is:
psa-spamassassin_7.5.4-debian3.1.build75050927.15_i386.deb

All the files seem to be linked properly in /usr/opt/psa/admin/(s)bin/

I have tried uninstalling spamassassin psa-spamassassin and spamc

Nothing works.

Does anybody recognise the above error message to be fixable?

Many thanks in advance.

Mark

Solved

OK - it looks like nobody knew the answer to this. I am not one to sit on my backside so I managed to track down the problem.

The permissions were not set correctly on the file:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/wrapper

For some reason it had lost its suexec status.

---x--x--- 1 root psaadm 13976 2005-08-24 07:26 wrapper

"chmod 4110 wrapper" sorted that out. now its:

---s--x--- 1 root psaadm 13976 2005-08-24 07:26 /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/wrapper

I am new to Plesk (not to linux) so I never even knew about this file (much less touched it) so I cant think how it lost its perms.

Anyway - I hope this informtion helps some other poor soul in the future.

um, where is the Plesk Error Log?? I have no such log on my box. Wish I did, so I can fix this error myself.
