 |

I get this postfix error in /var/log/messages
| Code: | | Nov 13 07:13:25 saturn postfix/local[25991]: fatal: open database /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory |
How can I fix it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Check that the path to your aliases file is correct in your main.cf file
to start with. Perhaps there is a broken symlink or something that may also
be causing the problem.
There are a couple of other things that may be causing this but they seem
unlikely to me (file system corruption etc.)

Check that exists (it should, it is part of net-mail/mailbase) and execute to create the missing file.

It's here.
| Code: | ls /etc/mail
aliases aliases.db
|
I use webmin to control postfix, I think I did fix it with it. But at least it is fixed. |

Could be a permission problem on the aliases.db file.

| No, the file wasn't there when I got the error messages. |
