Port Problem

[easyhoster1]

Have a melt down on Exim when tring to upgrade to a newer version and cannot get the mail server backup. Anyone seen this error and know of a fix?

===> Deleting distfiles for exim-4.34+22
Dependency error: this port wants the OpenSSL library from the FreeBSD
base system. You can't build against it, while a newer
version is installed by a port.
Please deinstall the port or undefine WITH_OPENSSL_BASE.
*** Error code 1

Tried uninstalling and reinstall the port, but did not help.

Thanks

Did you try and upgrade Exim by hand, or did you mean you used /scripts/exim4? If the former, I'd suggest running /scripts/exim4

[easyhoster1]

Tried both...However, I submitted a ticket and see the mail is running. Thanks Cpanel


I will see what the fix was and post back with it

Thanks to Jason,

Here is the fix.

"I removed the line WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=YES from your /etc/make.conf and
then ran the following commands as root:"

/scripts/installpkg exim
/scripts/restartsrv exim

Thanks to Jason and easyhoster1 for posting this

I almost opened ticket for this issue...
After I run above, exim got upgraded too!

After going after this problem for 3 hrs I finally found this post.

I had to kill some processes before I could get to this point, but I thank you for posting it here.

Worked like a charm. Thanks

I had the same problem on my FreeBSD5 box. Thanks to easyhoster1 for the fix, however, I had to do the following:
1) Remove the line WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=YES from your /etc/make.conf file
2) Reboot (Graceful reboot in WHM)
3) Run as root /scripts/installpkg exim
4) Reboot again

We had the same hiccup. Can someone from cpanel please explain how this bug slipped through and broke all of a sudden? We experienced this WITHOUT attempting to upgrade anything.

If you want to speak to someone from cpanel you will most likely need to log a support request/bugtrack entry and then come back here and tell us what they said

Just had to perform this fix again..

I think your reboot is adding WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=YES back to your make.conf file.
Try without the reboot.

[Holbrookau]

Both reboots are necessary (on this box at least) and no, the line is not added back on reboot. On both occasions the problem appeared after scripts/upcp did its daily thing (2 days apart though). This is just one of a few issues that have cropped up after recent cPanel updates..

I did all this and it worked and exim starts fine now but emails are still being rejected. Any ideas?

[eisman]

I too am having this sroblem. After an upcp run exim couldn't start again. I had to /scripts/installpkg exim, again. I checked /etc/make.conf and the WITH_OPENSSL_BASE line was still commented out. This all started after I compiled apache with OpenSSL support. Would doing easyapache again without OpenSSL support fix this? I can't have email dying every few days, especially since I don't get any notification that it's down.
