I am getting some errors in my mail log and so I am not sure if postfix is working. I did not set up my domain name etc. yet, but i would be keen to get everything working right before i transfer my production server over to my newly setup machine. What commands can I type from the command line to check postfix is working right ? NB. Errors i am getting are: Feb 11 00:53:08 server1 postfix/local[4674]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory Feb 11 00:53:09 server1 postfix/master[2302]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/local pid 4674 exit status 1 Feb 11 00:53:09 server1 postfix/master[2302]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling
a quick search on google reveals:- On a new postfix mail server installation, i got following error on console Jul 11 19:19:32 freebsd postfix/local[654]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory The error is because postfix can't find "/etc/aliases.db". Problem is fixed with by recreating aliases.db file. # postfix stop # rm -f /etc/aliases.db # newaliases # postfix start This has fixed something, becuase I am getting another error now about TLS certificates... Onwards and upwards !!
Which ispconfig version have you installed (name of the tar.gz file that you downloaded) and which tutorial did you use to install the server?
Dear Till, My ubuntu is 10.10 Processor type is amd 64 Installed was http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz For install, I followed the instructions here:- http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3 The ISPCONFIG install failed twice because my mysql root password had a ' in it, causing the script to crash. I changed mysql root password, completed the install from where it had stopped, then removed it using the un-install command. Then , i installed ispconfig 3 again . postfix is now partially working. however, I am still getting some error messages relating to TLS , so I want to know some diagnostic commands I can run to see if postfix is really working or not. I don't have a domain name yet to assign to tmy ip address so some errors will doubtlessly occur for this reason. here are the error messages from the mail log:- Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: cannot load Certificate Authority data: disabling TLS support Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: warning: TLS library problem: 31467:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:126:fopen('/etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem','r'): Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: warning: TLS library problem: 31467:error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file:bss_file.c:129: Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: warning: TLS library problem: 31467:error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib:by_file.c:274: Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: 571174858350: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Feb 11 14:59:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[31467]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
