Postfix not running

[pferban]

Hi,

I have the following problem. I have read in the forum on the same problem. The postfix will not start.

zimbra@linux-gskq:~> zmcontrol status
Host zc.xxxxxxxxxx.com
antispam Running
antivirus Running
imapproxy Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
memcached Running
mta Stopped
postfix is not running
snmp Running
spell Running
stats Running
zmconfigd Running

When i try to start postfix:
zimbra@linux-gskq:~> postfix start
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.7.2.2z/conf/main.cf
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.7.2.2z/conf/master.cf
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.7.2.2z/conf/master.cf.in
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

anyone can help me?
thanks

Use "zmmtactl start" instead.

SLES has a kernel bug that leaves the postfix process actually in the process table, although it says it is stopped. You can shutdown/reboot the server, or if the old postfix PID file still exists, you can kill -9 the process it says postfix was running as. You cannot see the running process via ps, nor does it show up in /proc.

If this is a single server install you should not have the highlighted services installed or runniing, you need to disable & remove them.
