[speckados]

On a new server with fresh install of WHM/Cpanel, Exim install fail.

After see, I run /scripts/exim4 and fail.

One of my co-lo customers is having the same problem. Any ideas cPanel?

Yep, that co-lo customer is me

I get exactly the same thing... and can't use my server for customers until it's fixed. I doubt they'd like not having mail.

Please get it fixed!

 

[syserror]

same error. except if you go into cpanel, and install the dbh and dbh-devel (under software=>install an rpm) that removes some of the errors at the end


still working on the other errors :s

 

[speckados]

Today, with update scripts a new exim4 scripts that try to compiling exim-4.41-100_cpanel_stmpcontrol_antivirus_rewrite_mailman2_maskedmailtrap_exiscan.src.rpm (other version it's 90) but the porblem it's the same.

TWO days without SMTP Server.

Well. System talk during compiling about "error:/unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/libperl.so;41187927: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch"

I put a symbolic link onto /usr/lib and on /usr/local/cpanel/perl

Correct this on yum.conf and correct yous bad adrres for update repository (end with /$releasever/$basearch/ AND NOT WHIT /$releasever/

That it's ok

Run and any update.


After, run /scripts/exim4 and get same errors.

Two days without SMTP server.

Here real solution:

Weel after reply of tickets, I put to work.

1.- Remopve all rpm of perl
2.- Install Perl form rpm
3.- Install modules from Cpan
4.- Create directory manually/var/spool/exim/db ( install script not create this directory)
5.- Run /scripts/exim4

And ... voila RUN

 

[foxboy]

how did you remove all perl rpms? with rpm and the remove module after module and then finally perl?

 

[syserror]

i did yum remove perl

after that i couldnt run any scripts for cpanel as most of them use perl in 1 way or another,
then i *somehow* got perl back on (rpm i think) then i did /scripts/upcp --force to force a reinstall

the service now starts but fails to send and recieve mail. we do however get mail in the mail queue now.

Any help is welcome.

hi

wget http://updates.cpanel.net/exim-cpan...rite_mailman2_maskedmailtrap_exiscan.i386.rpm

then

rpm -Uhv exim* --force

this should solve it for you

 

[speckados]

The version that you shows it's old.

There're a two new versions.

 

[Mani]

it was gona be nice of you to put the new

unless if it was gona take a bit of your time

 

[Snowman30]

anyone found a solution or an alternative for this yet??? we have a server that desperately needs this sorted.

 

[Mani]

you mean force installing the RPM did not work for you ??

 

[Snowman30]

you mean force installing the RPM did not work for you ??

Nope fraid not...

 

[cPanelNick]

Try

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/exim4


or if that doesn't work

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/exim4 --latest
