Hi All,
I am in need of assistance from those mysterious oh great qmail guru
master's that exist on the list.
If any of the could a moment to read the following and respond with a few
pointers in where i have messed up,
that would of course earn much respect, and gratitude from a mere
half-mortal admin and developer ( not c :( learning ).
I have RH6.2 and been attempting to build an rpm for internal use only to
speed up the process of
installing on our servers. We have until now been using the memphis src rpm
+ qmail-run-4-4 binary
to setup and install qmail which works great.
We then have the qmail-1.03.tar.gz source, and have applied and fixed when
patches clashed for anti-spam, tarpit,
mysql etc. After a recompile and make setup check, everything also works
great. and has been for the past year or so.
I recently got this task of making the RPMs for our system. I have used
rpm2cpio on qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm
to extract the original .tar.gz + spec file. i have then cp'd the
pre-compiled (working & patched) binary files to
the var-qmail-1.03 folder, and then rebuilt the .tar.gz and rpm using the
spec file.
Thanks for bearing with me so far...
Anyway, so now i have copied the custom .src.rpm and the
qmail-run-4-4.i386.rpm to the destination, and done a
rpm --rebuild on the customer src.rpm to generate the i386 binary, with the
new modified uid's etc.
(the rebuild works great too). then after and rpm -ivh on the new .i386.rpm
and then an rpm -ivh on the qmail-run rpm.
All is well and good, until i start qmail with a
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail.init start
I check the /var/logs/qmail/ log files, and i get the error in the subject
line.
Anyone or any guru point me what i've messed up, i 've spent two days and
many rebuilds, and still i cant sort it.
:-(
Apologies to all for the long mail, thought a bit of explanation req'd
Many Thanks in Advance,
