    Default spamd Failing

    WHM is showing spamd as failing, Tried installing the perl module but got...

    I'd recommend removing
    /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/S/SB/SBURKE/HTML-Tagset-3.03.tar.gz. Its MD5
    checksum is incorrect. Maybe you have configured your 'urllist' with
    a bad URL. Please check this array with 'o conf urllist', and
    /scripts/restartsrv spamd gives

    root@saturn [/scripts]# /scripts/restartsrv spamd
    Waiting for spamd to restart..............finished.


    open2: exec of /usr/bin/spamc failed at /scripts/RestartSrv.pm line 347
    ...propagated at /scripts/RestartSrv.pm line 397.
    spamd has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Spamd is not running"
    ).
    Ideas?

    You could try:

    /scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SpamAssassin

    Which will force an install of SpamAssassin.

    CPAN was failing due to an incorrect MD5, Removed /root/.cpan and /home/.cpan and ran it again and it was fine.

    I get the following message when I try this.

    Fetching CPAN mirrors...
    bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
    perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
    bzip2: No such file or directory
    Input file = /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY.bz2, output file = /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY

    It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
    You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

    You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
    data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

    bzip2: Deleting output file /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY, if it exists.
    Cannot fetch mirror list at /scripts/cPanelPerl.pm line 118, <Socket_Handle> line 57.

    You need to update your scripts:

    /scripts/updatenow

    Then try it again.

    Thanks. That helped and I was able to manually install spamassassin and then restart it.

    Try deleting all of these:

    rm -Rf /home/.cpan
    rm -Rf /root/.cpan
    rm -Rf /root/.cpcpan
    /scripts/updatenow
    /scripts/perlinstaller
    /scripts/perlinstaller --force HTML::Tagset

    What could be causing this error?
