About Qpopper
Hi All, I installed qpopper with pkg_add, uncomment the following line in /etc/inetd.conf, then restart inetd pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/qpopper popper but I can't connect to the pop3 server with Outlook Express, got a error message like Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. I did exactly the same thing on another server before, it worked immediately, any possible reasons? Thanks! Here is the sockstat output: # sockstat | grep 110 root inetd 32385 4 tcp4 *:110 *:* Kevin Pang ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: About Qpopper
Thanks for your help, Kris. I always forgot to check the logs :-(. The log says: inetd[32476]: cannot execute /usr/local/libexec/popper: No such file or directory But I checked the file, it does exist. I can execute it manually, got error message, I think it's because inetd used the socket. cd /usr/local/libexec/ ll total 3612 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Mar 31 05:10 apache -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3114448 Oct 15 23:27 mysqld -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 403132 Mar 31 10:37 proftpd -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 124376 Oct 15 22:27 qpopper ./qpopper Kevin P.S.

A little more info, I killed inetd and tried to run qpopper manually again, still the same error message: qpopper[32535]: Unable to obtain socket and address of client: Socket operation on non-socket (38) - Original Message - From: KP [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 9:27 AM Subject: Re: About Qpopper Thanks for your help, Kris.

Re: About Qpopper
Kris Kennaway wrote qpopper, not popper Wow, I'm so silly, thanks a lot, Kris! It works now. I'm just wondering how I noticed this last time and why they put such a default line in it, I would rather add it myself :-). - Kevin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Packages Corrupted
I installed apache, php and mysql with pkg_add, unfortunately I messed up the directory /var/db during moving and linking. Now when I pkg_delete or pkg_add any php related packages, always got the error message: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt, tried pkgdb -F and it didn't work. This is a new server running 5.3 release, just installed serveral packages, but with the error message, I feel the system totally corrupted. Is it possible to fix this? Many thanks in advance!

Re: Packages Corrupted
My first message is inaccturate, it seems all packages has the same problem. For example: # pkg_delete wget-1.8.2_6 pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt # pkg_info | grep mysql pkg_info: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt mysql-client-4.0.21 Multithreaded SQL database (client) php4-mysql-4.3.9The mysql shared extension for php Is it possible to remove all installed packages and start over?

Default mysql config file
Hello, My /var will run out of space soon, I was told that changing mysql store place was a good solution. But I can't find the default configuration file, is it ok to create a new file with the only line indicating the store position? I'm a newbie and more details would be appreciated.
