is this specific to apache, as the subject suggests? because starting apache should be

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

for your sasl problem (which I don't really know much about), are there any sasl specific logs, /var/log/saslauth or something similar? also, instead of the daemon log, what is in /var/log/messages

Thanks for your advice.

Problem already solved with following steps;

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo killall apache2
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

for your sasl problem (which I don't really know much about), are there any sasl specific logs, /var/log/saslauth or something similar? also, instead of the daemon log, what is in /var/log/messages

I'm still searching for a solution. Thanks

Hi jledhead,


Re: saslauthd problem.


I found my mistake on running;


$ sudo sh -x /etc/init.d/saslauthd start

+ NAME=saslauthd
+ DAEMON=/usr/sbin/saslauthd
+ DESC='SASL Authentication Daemon'
+ DEFAULTS=/etc/default/saslauthd
+ PWDIR=/var/run/saslauthd
+ PIDFILE=/var/spool/postfix/var/run//saslauthd.pid
+ test -f /usr/sbin/saslauthd
+ '[' -e /etc/default/saslauthd ']'
+ . /etc/default/saslauthd
++ START=yes
++ PARAMS='-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r'
++ MECHANISMS=pam
+ '[' yes '!=' yes ']'
+ '[' xpam = x ']'
+ PARAMS='-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -a pam'
+ START='--start --quiet --pidfile /var/spool/postfix/var/run//saslauthd.pid --startas /usr/sbin/saslauthd --name saslauthd -- -m /var/spool/postfix/v
ar/run/saslauthd -r -a pam'
+ case "${1}" in
+ echo -n 'Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: '
Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: ++ dpkg-statoverride --list /var/run/saslauthd
+ dir='root sasl 710 /var/run/saslauthd'
+ test -z 'root sasl 710 /var/run/saslauthd'
+ createdir root sasl 710 /var/run/saslauthd
+ '[' -d /var/run/saslauthd ']'
+ chown -c -h root:sasl /var/run/saslauthd
+ chmod -c 710 /var/run/saslauthd
+ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/spool/postfix/var/run//saslauthd.pid --startas /usr/sbin/saslauthd --name saslauthd -- -m /var/spoo
l/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -a pam
+ start-stop-daemon --test --start --quiet --pidfile /var/spool/postfix/var/run//saslauthd.pid --startas /usr/sbin/saslauthd --name saslauthd -- -m /v
ar/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -a pam
+ echo '(failed).'
(failed).
+ exit 1

There is a problem on;

/var/spool/postfix/var/run//saslauthd.pid --startas

// before saslauthd.pid


Then I found a typo on /etc/init.d/saslauthd on following line

PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NANE}/saslauthd.pid"

After changing;
NANE

to;
NAME


$ sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart

Stopping SASL Authentication Daemon: (not running).
Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: saslauthd.

My problem gone.


Now I have to concentrate solving the problem on "login SM"
