Description Gene Czarcinski 2004-03-30 15:24:14 UTC
Description of problem:

At bootup time (or manually) cyrus-imapd fails to start.  The
following message is given:  "preparing databases... error!"

Comment 1 Gene Czarcinski 2004-04-05 21:05:06 UTC
looking in all the wrong places:

error mesage in /var/log/messages pointed me to
/var/lib/imap/rpm/cvt_cyrusdb_all.log which in turn has:


-bash: line 1: /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all: No such file or
directory

And that is because it should be looking in /var/lib64/cyrus-imapd/


Comment 2 Chris Kloiber 2004-04-28 17:07:35 UTC
It looks to me like the /urs/lib => /usr/lib64 change needs to be made
on lines 46, 69, and 76 of /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd file, then the
service starts correctly.

Comment 3 Warren Togami 2004-04-28 21:41:40 UTC
jdennis, I wish to investigate, test and checkin this fix if it
appears to be complete and good.  May I have your permission please?

This is also quite serious, any disagreement with me checking this in?

Spec and patch against the init required are attached.  SRPM is
available at http://www.linuxtx.org/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-9.src.rpm for
testing.  Of note, while beehive can build the shipping cyrus-imapd
SRPM just fine, a fresh everything install of the development tree cannot.

Output from attempted rebuild on fresh x86_64 rawhide install from
05/04/04:

mboxlist.c

(yes, tried rebuild as root, just to be sure)

Note, this happens with cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8.  Beehive can build fine
it seems.

Sorry about the large number of updates, since it will not build on a dev
install, I am having to get feedback from RH people

Comment 14 Gene Czarcinski 2004-05-06 15:51:38 UTC
OK, applied update and it looks OK.

Comment 15 Chet Nichols III 2005-06-22 15:33:13 UTC
i discovered a much easier way to fix the problem:

change the configdirectory line in /etc/imapd.conf to a new directory that you
create yourself, then run mkimap on the folder to rebuild a fresh database. you
should be good to go from there.

# mkdir /var/lib/imap-new
# chown cyrus:mail /var/lib/imap-new
# nano /etc/imapd.conf
  (change the configdirectory line.. ie: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap-new
# su cyrus
$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mkimap
$ exit
# /sbin/service cyrus-imapd start

and you should be golden. good luck to anyone else who stumbles onto this thread!
