    Hi Rocky,
    Trying to build a new spamsnake server, but running into the same issue over and over again. I am doing it in VMware ESXi so I can revert back to snapshot when it goes bad. So I have tried 4 times following the instructions without deviation just in case I missed something, but I keep getting stuck at the same place. When I move Pyzor I get the following errors...

    root@spamsnake:/# mv /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pyzor-* /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/

    mv: cannot move `/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pyzor-0.4.0.egg-info' to `/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/': Not a directory

    next line results in the following error...

    root@spamsnake:/# mv /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pyzor* /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pyzor/

    mv: target `/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pyzor/' is not a directory


    For the second line I create the /python2.5/pyzor dir in the /var/lib/python-support dir. Then the

    root@spamsnake:/# mv /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pyzor* /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pyzor/
    succeeds...

    I then try to do the

    pyzor --homedir /var/lib/MailScanner discover

    and I get

    -bash: /usr/bin/pyzor: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

    I think something is missing in the instructions or the commands

    mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python26
    ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/python

    or the chmod commands are not doing the right thing. seems like python 2.5 is not installed. Thoughts on what I do now?

    I fixed this initial error but I'm getting other errors in the mail.log

    I searched the forums for this error, found some threads, but I have not been able to resolve the issue. I get the following errors in my mail.log

    Rocky, you there?

    Hey,

    Please double check that you did everything in section 16 and also section 17. It must be permission issues.

    Permissions

    I'm starting over again...

    I got permissions so messed up It would take more time for me to figure it out than to revert back to snapshot and start over.

    Thanks.
