I had this same problem happen today. While I do not know what caused
it, I suspect that not turning off monit had something to do with it, as
monit would have tried to restart qmail every few minutes. Again, this
is just a suspicion.
The tangible results of this upgrade failure was that many files and
folders throughout the qmail installation ended up being owned by
named:named.
One thing you should know about my system is that /home/vpopmail is a
softlink to /var/qmail. This allows me to have less directories to back
up and to follow a scheme that I used on earlier (pre-toaster) setups.
So when I refer to the /var/qmail/domains directory, it is likely to be
/home/vpopmail/domains for you if you do not have your schema set up as
do I,
What needs to be done to revive the system is to do a lot of ownership
changes and some mode changes.
First I ran queue_repair.py -r. I do not know that it actually did a
lot of good because things it said that it did, when I checked it did
not, but I include it here for thoroughness.
Here are the changes I had to make. They are going to wrap so I begin
each new line with a -
- chown root:root /usr/sbin/httpd
- cd /var/qmail ; chown -R qmaill:qmail supervise
- cd /var/qmail/bin; chown root:qmail qmail-clean qmail-lspawn
qmail-rspawn qmail-send qmail-smtpd
- cd /var/qmail/domains ; chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw *
- cd /var/qmail/etc ; chown vpopmail:vchkpw vpopmail.mysql*
- cd /var/log/qmail ; chown -R qmaill:qmail *
- cd /var/qmail/queue ; chown -R qmailq:qmail todo
- cd /var/qmail/queue/todo ; chmod 644 *
I have no idea of how apache (httpd) got changed, but it had monit
sending me alerts, so that was what I had changed first.
So that's my list of things that needed to be fixed to get a messed-up
toaster upgrade back to working condition. Hopefully it will save
someone the half hour of work it took me to figure it all out.

Warren,
Would you care to post this on the wiki under 'tips and tricks'?
