Hi guys, I am facing problem in postfix. I am using centos5.2.My postfix was running well but some strange problem it failed today. after that I wanted to restart postfix service , it does not restrat. But the postfix process is found in the process list( take memory and cpu ). Then i want to reinstall the postfix.The progress bar show it completed but not showing the completed message. I wait long time for the completion message but not display it and not return to command promt. When I cancel the command( ctrl+c) then the following error message is displayed: error: %post(postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 2 For your information this is the process of installation: yum install postfix Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.serveraxis.net * updates: mirrors.serveraxis.net * addons: chi-10g-1-mirror.fastsoft.net * extras: updates.interworx.info Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package postfix.x86_64 2:2.3.3-2.1.el5_2 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: postfix x86_64 2:2.3.3-2.1.el5_2 updates 3.7 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 3.7 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: postfix ######################### [1/1] error: %post(postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 2 Then I have update yum and try again but same result.
