Hi, I have followed the perfect server Centos x86_64 tutorial... but I'm having one little problem with amavisd, hopefully someone here could help me to troubleshoot this problem... the error when starting amavisd is: [root@mage]# /etc/init.d/amavisd start shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory Starting Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory fetch_modules: error loading required module MIME/Head.pm: File::Temp version 0.18 required--this is only version 0.16 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/MIME/Tools.pm line 14.

What's the URL of the tutorial? You are trying to start amavisd from a directory that has been deleted in the meantime.
ok thanks, but this is actually also happening at the boot time... the tutorial is this one, http://www.how2forge.org/perfect-server-centos-5.6-x86_64-ispconfig-3 but i had problems with that part at the page 4 yum install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamd unzip bzip2 unrar perl-DBD-mysql it was not working to install with yum amavisd-new, clamav, clamd, bzip2 and unrar... I had to manually download a tons of rpm dependancies files for amavisd and after installing all of them one by one... Im still left with the problem im having when amavisd is starting... All the rest of this tutorial went perfectly fine, a big thanks to the author... and to anyone helping here OoO when manually installing dependancies, I have accidently installed Perl 5.8.8 for i386 by accidents resulting in having 2 versions of Perl... 386 and x86_64, if this can help out... I have removed the 386 version
I have removed amavisd and re-installed the RPM and i dont get anymore the error quoted... this is what i get now: [root@mage ~]# /etc/init.d/amavisd start Starting Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): fetch_modules: error loading required module MIME/Head.pm: File::Temp version 0.18 required--this is only version 0.16 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/MIME/Tools.pm line 14.

Did you enable all the third-party repositories, as shown in the tutorial (RPMForge, atrpms, centos.karan.org)?
Yes I did and could not find any packages to download and install with yum that way so the only alternative I had in mind was installing one by one the missing rpms I don't remember anything about RPMforge and centos.karan.org ???
ooO yes, those parts went perfectly fine... The ONLY problem I got was for the line I stated: yum install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamd unzip bzip2 unrar perl-DBD-mysql because the yum installer could not find any packages for amavisd, clamav, clamd, bzips2, unrar and perl-DBD-mysql...
If all those repositories are enabled, yum should be able to find these packages. Please double-check.
ok, I will do a clean install again... The only difference is I have installed X server to get the graphical interface. And about that part at chapter 15 : This is coming AFTER the part where I need to install: yum install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamd unzip bzip2 unrar perl-DBD-mysql So maybe I should do that (chapter 15) and then coming back to chapter 14 ?
If I dont change the order, then I will be left with the same exact problem... Just wish I could simply resolve this amavisd problem... thanks for your help, any other idea is welcome
I am also facing the same problem following this How-To I am using CentOS 5.5 32 Bit.

[FAILED] [root@box1 postfix]# I googled this error and found that these packages should be in perl-MIME-tools RPM. Though I have installed the latest version, still I am getting error. Code: [root@box1 postfix]# yum list installed | grep perl-MIME-tools perl-MIME-tools.noarch 5.502-1.el5.rft installed Please HELP
Solved !! Hi OP, Just solved the issue. Seems like perl-MIME-tools-5.502 does not contain the packages but perl-MIME-tools-5.425 did. Although this is weird but but uninstalling v5.502 and installing 5.425 helped me out. You can download perl-MIME-tools-5.425 from here. It has a dependency which can be downloaded from here Hope this helps. Thanks all.
Great, I manually installed perl-MIME-tools to the latest version, I will downgrade to see and will reply if it work for me thanks for that one
Great, this worked also for me... Thanks a lot for this solution... I first tried the 5.428 version without success either... I really had to use the 5.425... Thanks also to you Falko for your help.
