7.5.2 services imap

[dthoward]

I have upgraded to 7.5.2 on Redhat 9. The service management form shows courier-imap as stopped when in it is not. I have not been able to get this to report the proper state. Any ideas?

Thanks, Todd

Problem solved ... Plesk had installed both xinetd and a daemin at boot ... I removed the xinetd version and the control panel now works as expected ... the question is why Plesk installed both ???

Disclaimer ::: I am not a Plesk expert, use advice at your own risk ...

If you're have this issue, you will have the following in your boot.log ...

imapd.rc: bind: Address already in use

I'm not sure which one should be running courier-imap, daemon or xinetd, maybe someone will confirm ... my hunch and what I'm using is the daemon ...

If you have the following files in /etc/xinetd.d, move them to a safe place (actually I found a copy in /etc/xinetd.d/archive) ... this step will eliminate the possibility of imap/pop running from xinetd

/etc/xinetd.d/courier-imapd
/etc/xinetd.d/courier-imapds
/etc/xinetd.dcourier-pop3d
/etc/xinetd.d/courier-pop3ds

Next check that the following exists ...

/etc/init.d/courier-imap

... and is linked in /etc/rc5.d.

Then reboot ... check the boot.log for errors ... check Plesk CP services ... etc.

You can use the chkconfig command to list/add/delete boot entries ... my system looks like this ...

chkconfig --list
