Postfix 2.10 Failed to Start Centos 7
 
|
Hi, Just to add: If I execute postconf -d | grep shlib_directory - I get shlib_directory = no However, on my upgraded version the shlib_directory = no is not returned from the postconf -d command. This is key in determining the error IMO. Thanks! |

Why did you "upgrade" from Postfix3 to Postfix2? You are now running Postfix2 binaries (no suppport for shlib_directory or meta_directory) with your Postfix3 configuration (that specifies shlib_directory and shlib_directory). > Just to add: If I execute postconf -d | grep shlib_directory - I > get shlib_directory = no on the previous version. That was a Postfix3 system, which supports shlib_directory and meta_directory. > However, on my upgraded version the shlib_directory = no is not > returned from the postconf -d command. Because that is Postfix2, which does not support shlib_directory or meta_directory. Wietse |

I think one of the issues here is that the centos upstream repos have not been updated to the latest code yet. That being said, I was wondering if anyone had written any installation notes for installing postfix 3.x from source on centos or red hat?

No, I didn't upgrade Postfix. As the top of my thread, I "yum upgrade" my Centos Server. Postfix is 2.10. It worked previously but since yum upgrade, has failed.

I use "update" instead of "upgrade". You can Google for the difference.
Since I am on a cloud server, I usually do an image first since email can be tricky to debug.

Better to use a properly packaged Postfix: http://ghettoforge.org/index.php/Postfix3 Peter |

Wietse's point was that you have config parameters that are not valid for Postfix 2.10 so for them to have worked in the past you must have been running a newer Postfix (3.x). Did you perhaps build Postfix from source in the past and install it over the system Postfix? If so then the yum update would have overwritten your newer Postfix with the updated stock Postfix 2.10.
