Hello, all of a sudden, on my Ubuntu 9.04 machine with amavids-new 2.6.2 and SpamAssassin 3.2.5, I get the following error when starting:
# /etc/init.d/amavis start Starting amavisd: Could not connect to database amavisd-new. I found out that if I disable SpamAssassin, everything works fine again. It might be related to an unfinished FusionForge installation, but I can't find out why it doesn't work. Anyone has an idea what might cause the error message? sa-update -D works fine, so the basic database seems to be existing, and I couldn't find any changes neither in amavisd nor in SpamAssassin configuration. amavisd-new debug gives the following (relevant) output: == Nov 9 09:19:56.250 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: starting. /usr/sbin/amavisd-new at myserver amavisd-new-2.6.2 (20081215), Unicode aware, LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" Nov 9 09:19:56.250 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: user=, EUID: 108 (108); group=, EGID: 116 116 (116 116) Nov 9 09:19:56.250 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: Perl version 5.010000 Could not connect to database Nov 9 09:19:56.775 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: INFO: SA version: 3.2.5, 3.002005, no optional modules: Net::CIDR::Lite Encode::Detect IP::Country::Fast Image::Info Image::Info::GIF Image::Info::JPEG Image::Info::PNG Image::Info::TIFF Nov 9 09:19:56.775 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: SpamControl: init_pre_chroot on SpamAssassin done Nov 9 09:19:56.776 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: Net::Server: 2009/11/09-09:19:56 Amavis (type Net::Server::PreForkSimple) starting! pid(30023) [...] Nov 9 09:19:56.823 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: Creating db in /var/lib/amavis/db/; BerkeleyDB 0.34, libdb 4.6 Nov 9 09:19:59.897 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: SpamControl: initializing Mail::SpamAssassin Nov 9 09:19:59.897 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: SpamAssassin debug facilities: info Could not connect to database Nov 9 09:20:02.283 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: SpamControl: init_pre_fork on SpamAssassin done Nov 9 09:20:02.283 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: Net::Server: Beginning prefork (2 processes) Nov 9 09:20:02.284 myserver /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[30023]: Net::Server: Starting "2" children [...] == The mail log files do not contain any errors.
