[SOLVED] amavisd fails to start

[andremta]

I'm having problems to start amavisd, It was working before but I don't know what happened.

Status after reboot

zimbra@intranet:~$ zmcontrol status
Host mail.mydomain.com
        antispam                Stopped
                zmamavisdctl is not running

        stats                   Running
zimbra@intranet:~$

zimbra@intranet:~$ zmamavisdctl start
Starting amavisd...failed.
zimbra@intranet:~$

I do I need to allow any special port in the firewall?

Where's the amavisd log file located?

Please check /var/log/zimbra.log to see why Amavis is not starting.

I think mistakenly I have installed EXIM4, but I have removed now! Maybe it installed also a new amavisd.

su - zimbra
zmcontrol stop
ps aux | grep zimbra
If any processes left kill them off nicely
zmcontrol start

It may be a old process running so the PID does not match what ZCS thinks it should be.

I manage to correct it!

I don't know how... with ubuntu I did install a package with EXIM4 and another amavisd, maybe mailx package!

Glad you are up and running now

Now if your would update your profile with the following output so we know which version of ZCS you are running that would be great

su - zimbra
zmcontrol -v
