I seem to have some trouble with finding a folder that keeps coming up if some logs. The following log is from /var/log/messages Code: tail -f /var/log/messages Code: Jun 12 10:18:19 postrens1 MailScanner: Cannot write pid file /var/run/MailScanner/MailScanner.pid, No such file or directory Jun 12 10:18:19 postrens1 MailScanner: MailScanner setting GID to www-data (33) Jun 12 10:18:19 postrens1 MailScanner: MailScanner setting UID to postfix (110) Jun 12 10:18:20 postrens1 MailScanner: Cannot write pid file /var/run/MailScanner/MailScanner.pid, No such file or directory Jun 12 10:40:26 postrens1 MailScanner: Cannot write pid file /var/run/MailScanner/MailScanner.pid, No such file or directory Jun 12 10:40:26 postrens1 MailScanner: MailScanner setting GID to www-data (33) Jun 12 10:40:26 postrens1 MailScanner: MailScanner setting UID to postfix (110) Jun 12 10:40:27 postrens1 MailScanner: Cannot write pid file /var/run/MailScanner/MailScanner.pid, No such file or directory This error accrue every time I restart the Mailscanner service Code: /etc/init.d/mailscanner restart Anything I need to look into? or is there a way to remove this error/warning? Any help would be much appreciated
So i guess the folder has no other purpose than to hold the pid file then? Thanks for the reply [Edit] Tryd it btw, and worked like a charm
Huuum .. got a strange thing going on here. It seems that the error messages return every time I reboot the server :-/ Any clue?

I guess i have overlooked something in the guide that might help, - http://howtoforge.org/the-perfect-spamsnake-ubuntu-8.04-p5 The reason I didn't even think to read this, is that its all strikethrough.
Just an update , this didn't solve my problem I can refer to another with the same problem tho, although, I do not believe that the problem got solved there either ^^ - http://howtoforge.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23820&highlight=removing+directories+reboot What i did notice, was that Rocky made change to hes tutorial in that thread
This would be for the old guide sorry, this was posted before I knew that there where two SpamSnake guides. I do however have a working version of SpamSnake with ubuntu 8.04 running today, with just a few minor problems. Cant remember how I solved this issue tho :/ I will however reinstall this server at some point, and at the same time make a note of all the changes that I have to do to make it work : ) don't know if that would be to any interest for you : )
