fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db: No such file or directory

I am running a openSuSE 10.2 64 bit server with the modified (openssl-devel added) perfect 10.2 32 bit installation.

Everyting just runs terrific

The newest stable ISPconfig is also running great.

But there is a small problem with Postfix. Sending und receiving mails works just fine - but after "playing" around with new accounts (users) in ISPconfig /var/log/mail brings an error:

Code:

 fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db: No such file or directory

And SMTP won't work anymore.

After a

Code:

postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
rcpostfix restart

the problem seems to be solved but it will occure again and again.

I guess this problem has something todo with

Code:

Feb  2 23:59:42 derivation postfix/smtpd[14437]: warning: database /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtusertable

I mean postmap and restarting postfix will work for the short term but it is not a solution.

Restarting ISPconfig server woks fine without any errors.

In /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log I can find the following warning whenever a user is edited.

Code:

03.02.2007 - 13:35:55 => WARN - /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/classes/ispconfig_postfix.lib.php, Line 289: WARNING: could not postmap hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

Perhaps it has something todo with rights an the execution of postmap via PHP?!

Thanks for your help!!

No - there are no errors. After running the postmap command and restarting postfix everything is fine. I was able to isolate the problem to one single web. Adding and editing users in all (as far as I can say now) other webs works without any errors. Counld the filesystem structure in this web be damaged?

 

No, that's not the problem. I had the same problem once on a SuSE 10.2 system. On another installation (exactly the same setup) it was working (SuSE... sigh... ).

Have you tried to reboot the system?

 

Not yet.


BUT: It now seems to work - but who knows how long.

Strange - I guess SuSE is going it's own way. I can try the same perfect installation with Ubuntu 06.06 server LTS, and check out if the same problem will occure (but I don't think so).

 

They like to do that...
