Spamd unable to restart after update.

[ambition13]

Hello,

After last night's update, I got an email from my server with topic:

Cron <root@server> sa-update && /etc/init.d/spamd restart

And the content of the message says:

/bin/sh: /etc/init.d/spamd: No such file or directory

I checked the /etc/init.d directory and indeed spamd is not there. Never had this message before on this server which has been running for years. Any way to fix this?

try running a cpanel update again to see if it fixes the problem

Ran /scripts/upcp and the problem still exists.

If I do "spamd -V" from shell I get:

SpamAssassin Server version 3.3.1

Not sure if that is related or not.

Any other ideas?

Ok, I was able to resolve the spamd -V problem by installing the Socket6 and INET6 perl modules from within WHM. Ran /scripts/upcp again and still no spamd file in /etc/init.d.

So back to the drawing board.

I have seen this happen when you have two versions of SpamAssassin installed (usually 3.2.x and 3.3.x). Do you by chance have a spamassassin rpm installed?

If so you can remove it and reinstall the correct version with the following:

rpm -e spamassassin
/scripts/perlmods -u Mail::SpamAssassin
/scripts/installspam

If that doesn't solve the problem, I would recommend opening a ticket.
