Hi there,
I'm about to install a mail hosting system as described in the "Virtual Mail Hosting Guide" and ... just got this message | Quote: | | Apr 29 14:45:38 [postfix/master] fatal: bind INADDR_ANY port 25: Address already in use |
after configure and doing | Code: | | /etc/init.d/postfix start |
My postconf -n is | Quote: | alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases

default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
home_mailbox = .maildir/
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man

As it is a fatal error it seems I'm looking too close to find. Please help

Ok, sorry guys.
Vanished after reboot.
Maybe artefacts from unmerging qmail?
Don't know, going further, bye

Thought it vanished.
Ok postfix works locally now, the mysterious thing is:
After unmerging qmail and rebooting with merged postfix I get a loop on console saying things like
| Quote: |
supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-send/run: file does not exist supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-smtpd/run: file does not exist
|
not shure about the order because I had to write it off the looping console. (it's not going to log/everything/current)
Any hint who tries it where to start?

seemed to be a daemontool - prob.
What the hell thei're for? Beside of complicating unmerge of qmail...
Ok, that for this thread and I realize, it would have had a better place in "Installing Gentoo", but now it's closed for me anyway

Looks like you may not have turned off the SMTP daemon that was previously listening to port 25 (qmail) before emerging and starting postfix. Remember that you can remove the daemon binary even though the daemon itself is running. You need to do:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/<daemon> stop
rc-update del <daemon>
|
and then the unmerge. This thread may also be of interest.
