Question sophie problems


Hello,

I've a problem with my qmail server. I want to run Sophie 3.03 on it but it just won't work.My server runs on a 2.2.18 kernel.

Every time I try to run my Sophie it comes with two different error messages.
The first one is when I run Sophie in /root. The message sounds likes this:

" NOTICE : Sophie configuration file is not specified - falling back in defaults."
" ERROR : Could not open any Sophie configuration file"

This one is clear to me, because I didn't specify a configuration file. He can't find one because there is none in the root directory.

But when I specify the configuration file like this
" sophie -C /path/to/sophie.cfg

Sophie comes with an error like this:

" ERROR : bind () failed in main () [Address already in use]

What is wrong?

regards Floris

Means the port was already in use, probably by a running copy of Sophie. Check with netstat. If you're using an init script use "restart", else first kill the running copy.

Thanks for your help, but it wasn't the right thing to do.

I ran "sweep -v" and then I started sophie.

The problem is now solved.

Thanks anyway Unspawn
