I have chosen to install amavis-new with my FC5 installation. This
also loads clamav. However, when I look at the amavis service, I
get the response "amavisd dead but subsys locked". I have checked
everything I can think of, but cannot get amavisd to start. Does
anyone here have any suggestions?
1. remove the dangling lock
2. start amavis
3. take a peek in /var/log/maillog
I looked for the dangling lock. However, I can find nothing. I would
expect to find it (with amavisd running) at /var/run/amavisd/ along
with the pid file, but there is nothing. Where else should I look?
Try looking in /var/lock/subsys.
I have tried that. I removed the hanging lock, which when checked,
stopped amavisd. However, on starting amavisd, apparently
successfully, after checking the status, amavisd was again dead but
subsys locked.
I seem to be going around in circles. HOW do I correct this???
I guess next I'd suggest looking at the init.d file and seeing what it
is doing. I do it sometimes when something isn't working right and try
to recreate the steps by hand, seeing where it goes wrong. Sometimes it
leads me to the problem area where I can finally get an idea of what
should be changed.
