imapd: authentication error: Connection refused

Toady

I set my system to do a world update evry month....

I am now thinking this is a bad move

In my logs every time I try and use IMAP mail I get :

Please search the forums and read the post-install instruction in the ebuild.

Toady, I also did what you asked but when I try and restart courier-authlib, I get this:

Had to reboot the entire server to get this to work. I hate having to do that. But of course now my Apache installation ov 2.0.53 is screwed and I am getting this segmentation error:

This started the moment I upgraded to Apache 2.0.53 everything was fine before then. If you look at the countless posts with this subject, I'm afraid it is VERY common behaviour. The only prob is that now I have reinstalled the system with Apache 2.0.50 and the same issue has arisen.

Courier-imap got updated earlier in the day and then I did Apache. Courier is fine. Perhaps I should uninstall it? I have seen a post regarding gcc so I am upgrading that as my version was a some months old. I built the server new in December. The only original part was the CPU a 1.3Ghz Athlon. Man I am REALLY suffering. I host a few sites for people and they are screwing. Will be 24 hours soon. Postfix still works in the background so mail comes in ok and I am using a different client to check imap.

Courier must be working otherwise I could not use the client.

Maybe the problem with authdaemon was only that the daemons were killed in wrong order. So now you have only broken apache, right? What happens if you emerge another version? BTW, it could be easily caused by some apache module, for example. Have you recompiled mod_php (if you use PHP)?

Well I have just manually compiled versio v50 of Apache and I get the same error. I have reseated the mem chips also, no avail. I am using:

Have taken php out of the equasion and I get the same Segmentation fault. I have also reinstalled Apache v52 which is what I had before all this. Same result. What is this all about, where does this problem lie? Segmentation can mean so many things, but the server does not, never has crashed. It is just with Apache.

can you select another MPM (prefork, worker,...)?

Sorry, I don't quite understand. The fork part of my conf file:

Oops, using another MPM will require rebuild. So it breaks even after recompialtion of apache? Without any modules (PHP, mod_ssl,...)?

Isn't there a bare minimum of modules that Apache needs to function with?

The only thing in the logs is this:

you can alwasy compile apache with `FEATURES=nostrip USE=debug emerge apache` and then use gdb debugger :-)

.

Are you really sure that you're compiling for correct CPU? Do you have sane CFLAGS? Isn't there somethign broken in apache's deps? (`emerge -epv world`)

Why would I have changed the CPU type with my CFLAGS? Nothing has changed, I just upgraded to 2.0.53 and all this happened. I have even gone back down to v2.0.51/52 and it is the same. I have changed memory, reduced clock speed, all sorts.
