Upgrade 7.5.3->7.5.4 killed qmail

[sermad]

Hi guys.

I updated from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4 today - I obviously never got the email saying the upgrade had completed because our pop server stopped during the upgrade and never came back.

I have rebooted.

any ideas what I should be looking at to fix this?

ps I did this in the faq and it did nothing -

Ok, but have you checked the log files available at:

/tmp/psa**_upgrade.log

? Are you sure that the upgrade completed sucesfully?

You can try in command line to force a qmail RPM install, but I advise you to check the log files first.

Hi there.

yes I am sure the upgrade was successful.

Ive been tinkering with the server for about 5 hours now! I somehow DID get emails to work.

Then I rebooted it and now they dont.

Also when I send emails to myself I get mailbox errors.

Also for me - that courier technote is wrong.

My mailpasswd is at - /var/qmail/users/poppasswd - ???

More errors - Getting closer.

Seems the courier-imap is running twice on start?

If I also run - /etc/rc.d/init.d/courier-imap restart

I get the courier-imap service starting twice! Please help guys. I feel Im so close.

Here is a possible temporary fix. Stop the xinetd, courier-imap, and qmail services. Then start them in this order:
qmail, courier-imap, xinetd.
This has worked in the past. It is a temporary fix though because when the server reboots it will probably fail again.

You have a service running on imap port. Hard to tell which is this service without taking a look to the server. You can try to get the service name running:

netstat -lp
