Problem starting dbmail-timsieved
Hi,

Although I did not change my config file, now dbmail-timsieved does not
start anymore.
Version: 2.2.11
It says:
Jun 18 11:40:57 gamma dbmail-timsieved[10118]: FATAL:[config]
config.c,GetDBParams(+263): wrong value for sqlport in config file
failed failed!


The database is on a non-default port, and I'm using postgres.

Strangely enough dbmail-imapd and dbmail-pop3d and dbmail-smtp start normal.

Any thoughts?

Marc

Increase the log level.

Hi Paul,

I am a bit out of it, this is a level TRACE_STDERR of 5, is that not the
highest value?

This means the value specified for sqlport cannot be parsed into a 'long
long unsigned int'.

Something *must* have changed on your system.

Additionally,

In dbmail.conf I have:

sqlport = 5434

I did do an debian upgrade, and reinstalled dbmail from the nfg server.
(first tried a downgrade to a manual compiled 2.2.10 which introduced
the problem first).

How can my system not know a long long unsigned int?
And is that not an exceptionally large number for a port-number?

Are you perhaps then starting the wrong daemon, or one looking at the
wrong dbmail.conf?

Try:

strace -o /tmp/trace.txt -ff /usr/sbin/dbmail-timsieved
grep dbmail.conf /tmp/trace.txt

or something similar.

I already tried that. There is only one daemon in the path.
dbmail-timsieved -V gives 2.2.11
Also the right configfile /etc/dbmail/dbmail.conf

Furthermore, as of now also dbmail-pop3d and dbmail-lmtp are not working
anymore (because I restarted them).

As a short-term sollution I have used rinetd to map the standard
postgresql port to the one I use, and start the daemons without the
sqlport setting which seems to be running ok.

Regards,

Marc

Please do try to provide the lines from a trace leading up to the exit.
They should be interesting.

Re: Problem starting dbmail-timsieved [In reply to]
Attached the trace.txt


I also tried some output tests:

If in config.c I put
printf("%s\n",port_string);
in line 263, it writes "5434" to the command line before the error.

Then second try, line 262, I write
printf("%d\n",strtoul(port_string, NULL, 10));
which also writes "5434" to the command line, so the parsing by strtoul
does not seem to be the problem.

Now, why does errno get filled with some value, while strtoul does the
job as expected?

If I set
errno=0; in line 260 of config.c, dbmail-timesieved starts as expected.

I'm not sure this is the right fix in the right place, as I don't
understand why errno is not redefined in strtoul.

Please confirm this.

Regards,

Marc
