spamassassin start problem - freebsd

Spamassassin is always giving this error, on ssh

Code: 
root# /usr/local/psa/rc.d/psa-spamassassin start
Can't locate Text/Iconv.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-freebsd /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-freebsd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-freebsd /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-freebsd /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl) at /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Mail/SpamAssassin/CmdManage.pm line 8.

When I try to start via plesk, it gives this error,

Code: 
Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by spamd: Empty error message from utility.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php:19 psaerror(string "Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by spamd: Empty error message from utility.")

So how can I fix this error? I am using freeBSD 5.3 and Plesk 7.5.3

Thank you so much.
 
You're missing the Text::Iconv Perl module - but don't worry - everyone else with a standard FreeBSD install w/Perl 5.8.6 is missing it too. lol.

Plesk forgot to include it in the FreeBSD distribution of Plesk perl modules. Yes, this means that Plesk / SpamAssassin does not work out of the box on FreeBSD 5 and Plesk 7.5.3 unless you manually install this module (how's that for quality control testing? hehehe)


Anyway, you can install it this way:

www# cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

cpan> install Text::Iconv


....

You'll have to run through manual configuration of CPAN if you've never used it before, but that only takes a minute or two; it's easy. You can hit enter on pretty much any prompt you dont know the answer to (except when choosing the download server list). I suggest choosing "follow" instead of "ask" when deciding how to handle prerequisites.


Otherwise you can retrieve it directly from the CPAN repository:

http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Text::Iconv&mode=all
 
Hello jshanley,

Checking for iconv ... ok (added -liconv)

NOTE: If you have multiple iconv implementations installed, you might
      want to make sure that I've found the one you want to use.
      If necessary, you can explicitly specify paths like this:

      /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include'

Checking if your kit is complete...

Plesk: failed to start SpamAssassin

Please share your advice. Thank you soooo much.
 
Code: 
root# /usr/local/psa/rc.d/psa-spamassassin start
Plesk: SpamAssassin has been started

Thank you very very much, jshanley.
 
No problem. While you're using CPAN, you might want to go ahead and install some other perl modules. SpamAssassin doesn't require them to run, but it will use them if they exist (so SpamAssassin is more effective if they're installed).

You can get the list of modules I like to install, here ... just scroll down a tiny bit and you should see the list.

Click to expand...

Thanks for your notes here. I was simply testing FreeBSD + Plesk to see how well it works.

Like you though, I am very confused on how SWSoft could test this and not come to the conclusion that something is not broken.

Once I finished installing Plesk on FreeBSD, the first thing I did was login, went to Service Management to see if everything launched correctly and immediatly discovered something was wrong with SpamAssassin and Perl...

Does this mean that SWSoft didn't even do that much? It's making me a little nervous!
