Those error messages say a Fully Qualified Domain Name FQDN is needed. peterwebsolutions is only the hostname, it needs the domain part also, ie. peterwebsolutions.domain.tld.
yeh i so another post and redid the host name but when i run the command again it says the stuff has already installed. im not sure what to do now to get amavid to run
The issue is not about installing amavis, it is about starting amavis. After you corrected the hostname, start amavis.
i am up to installing ftp part of the guide but when i got to nano /etc/fstab it shows LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults 0 0 LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0 instead of the one in the guide which is # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/mapper/server1--vg-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1 /dev/mapper/server1--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 i am not sure how to add usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0
thanks i couldn't tell just from LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults 0 0 LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0 the log after that is not mind its what the guide shows, i guess ill skip the step afterwards if its already mounted weird this log means its not mounted right root@peterwebsolutions:~# quotacheck -avugm quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
The info in the guide is for a normal Ubuntu install, you seem to use some kind of cloud server image thats's why it looks differently. When you read the lines of your existing fstab file, then you can see that the part "usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0" for the / file system is already there.
yeh i am using vps from digital ocean so there are some part that are hard to follow my existing fstab only shows LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults 0 0 LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0 "usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0" was the part where i posted from the guide
