I'm trying to install debian 6 squeeze and exim4 as follows: 1. In linode admin: Deploy a Linux Distribution -> select Debian 6 -> boot linode and login. 2. In putty session, basic config: root@debian:~# apt-get update ... root@debian:~# apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded ... Setting up acpid (1:2.0.7-1) ... Starting ACPI services.... root@debian:~# echo "playground" > /etc/hostname root@debian:~# hostname -F /etc/hostname root@debian:~# vi /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 109.74.205.143 playground.alexatnet.com playground ... 3. In putty session, exim4 config, following http://library.linode.com/email/exim/se ... -6-squeeze root@debian:~# apt-get install exim4-daemon-light mailutils ... root@debian:~# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config typed exactly as instruction recommends, only replaced sample domains with playground.alexatnet.com and playground. root@debian:~# echo "This is a test." | mail -s Testing alex.netkachov@gmail.com 2011-03-01 22:42:02 1Pucws-0000lJ-IJ Cannot open main log file "/var/log/exim4/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=101 egid=103 2011-03-01 22:42:02 1Pucws-0000lJ-IJ <= root@playground.alexatnet.com U=root P=local S=405 2011-03-01 22:42:02 1Pucws-0000lJ-IJ Cannot open main log file "/var/log/exim4/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=101 egid=103 exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1 I've repeated the steps with different values in /etc/hosts, different domains in exim options (redeploy the system each time) - the same error. Please help. BTW, I would like to use alexatnet.com as FQDM in /etc/hosts and exim config. Is this possible? Thanks, Alex |

Update: creating /var/log/exim4/mainlog fixes the error. exim delivers message correctly now. Thanks linode support for provided solution. Regards, Alex |

create /var/log/exim4 didn't work for me. Still looking for a solution. Best regards, Fernando |

For an existing install, please try issuing the following command: Code: apt-get install --reinstall exim4-base After doing so, follow the instructions here to reconfigure Exim: http://library.linode.com/email/exim/se ... -6-squeeze This issue has been fixed in our base deployment images. Sorry about any inconvenience, and please let us know if you experience any additional difficulties. |
