Using Exim Configuration Editor but my new rules not save at exim.conf

[isputra]

Hi,

After upgrade to WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-C464 i try to change some rule on exim.conf using Exim Configuration Editor >> Switch to advanced mode but after click save the new rule not save at exim.conf at all.

I check again using Exim Configuration Editor >> Switch to advanced mode and now the third box always shows default ruleset and another box still have my ruleset.

Try to change the third box again and click save, all ruleset i put in third box back to default ruleset.

Please help... searching on forum never found this such of problem.

same problem here

running WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-C464

Is there any solution for this issue ?

 

[isputra]

no suggestion for me ?

i do /scripts/eximup --force and then edit the third box again, but still have the same issue.

Same thing here. I upgraded 3 servers from Stable120 to Current and broke the Exim Configuration Editor on one of them. I had to change that one back to Stable120 to fix it.

Hi Yah,

Only way we resolved it was to downgrade from latest current to latest release and then add in all our ACL's again. Even our NOC were scratching their heads...

 

[Bruce]

Nope, I was wrong. All three servers I upgraded from Stable_120 to Current_472 or latest Edge broke the Configuration Editor .
Had to downgrade back to Stable_120 to fix it, now I'm having issues with native SSL

[email protected] [~]# ./cpsrvd-ssl --bincheck
-bash: ./cpsrvd-ssl: No such file or directory

You try to ugrade then something breaks then you downgrade then something breaks.

We have the same issue on the latest edge.

same issue here with trying to edit the exim config in advanced mode. Changes do not stay after being saved with 10.8.2-C472

 

[XPerties]

Went to 10.8.2-C482 and still will not save config.


Anyone have any idea other than rolling back to older version?

IIRC, there was a problem in at least one of the recent EDGE builds that corrupted /etc/exim.conf.local which is what the exim configuration editor uses. You'll need to check it and repair the corruption.

Just checked and the corruption looks something like (at the tope - don't know if the forum software will show it right):

%¬LBLOCK%

It should read:

%ACLBLOCK%

Then remember to run:

/scripts/buildeximconf
service exim restart

Chirpy,

I found the above and did replace it with the right read then ran buildeximconf and restart exim, went back in, added my rbl stuff, saved and went back to advanced mode and it still did not save my entry.


So no go on that fix.

 

[chirpy]

Looks like the bug is still in the code then. I'd suggest logging it with cPanel for them to fix it. In the meantime, you'll have to edit exim.conf.local instead of using the WHM editor.

Thank you again Chirpy. Your solution works for me.

 

[isputra]

Ah, the problem back again if i try to edit the third box and click save

 

[XPerties]

[Bruce]

Does anyone know if the Exim Configuration Editor is fixed in lastest Current or Edge ?
We downgraded our servers to Stable_120 but now two of them when using 2087 and 2083 have an issue due to the new native SSL replacing Stunnel

Thanks

dont use cpanel

If I were you I would just modify the exim.conf directly via SSH.

cd /etc
pico exim.conf

make your changes and save the file.

service exim restart

voila!

I never have any luck with the exim configuration tool in cpanel.

 

[chirpy]

That's a very bad idea indeed. If you have problems with the current Exim Configuration Editor, you're much better off editing exim.conf.local as I said above and rebuild. If you just edit exim.conf you can end up with a very broken system when upcp next decides to rebuild it. IIRC, only the interface changes need you to edit exim.conf (though I seem to remember a workaround) anything else should be possible using the editor....normally.

Is fix on this already available?
