You need to check the /var/qmail/controls directory. Check the following things. 1) Permissions make sure that root can read it 2) make sure you have at least the following files in it: me defaultdomain plusdomain locals rcpthosts If you don't know what should go into the files, take a look at the qmail install directions at www.qmail.org Mike -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of aventure@csf.edu Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 6:18 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Qmail won't start.. When I boot I get this error: <abbrev-day> < Date and Time> CDT <year> <abbrev-month> <date> <time> mandark qmail: 999755952.6828189 alert: cannot start: unable to read controls then comes my login prompt.. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong here. I thought i followed PORT_NOTES to a tee but maybe not. I did not add: csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' from step #14 as I did not remove the symlink. I think I have the tcpserver running too.. this is exactly how my mailserver.sh reads in my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/: #!/bin/sh tcpserver -v -u 82 -g 81 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 & I obviously am doing something wrong.. Can anyone help?
