I need help - I believe my Courier-Imap services were deactivated in error
United States	2007-03-28 01:07:52

I am a user of a Virtual Dedicated Server with Plesk 7.5 Reloaded at GoDaddy.com. This morning, all pop3 access disappeared for all domains. After much search, I think this is the cause: in /var/log/messages: Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 courier-imap: Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 rc: Starting courier-imap: succeeded Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Swapping defaults Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service imap Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service imaps Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service pop3 Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service pop3s Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service ftp Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service poppassd Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service smtp Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service smtps Mar 27 07:34:48 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Reconfigured: new=0 old=8 dropped=0 (services) Mar 27 07:34:49 ip-208-109-17-209 qmail: Starting qmail:  succeeded Mar 27 07:34:52 ip-208-109-17-209 spamassassin: spamd startup succeeded Mar 27 07:34:54 ip-208-109-17-209 psa-spamassassin: Starting psa-spamassassin service:  succeeded Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 httpd: httpd startup succeeded Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Starting reconfiguration Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd: xinetd -HUP succeeded Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd: xinetd -HUP succeeded Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Swapping defaults Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: service imap deactivated <<<<<;<<<<<<<<<<<;<<<<<<<< Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service imaps Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service pop3 Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service pop3s Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service ftp Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service poppassd Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service smtp Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service smtps Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Reconfigured: new=0 old=7 dropped=1 (services) Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Starting reconfiguration Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Swapping defaults Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: service imaps deactivated <<<<<;<<<<<<<<<<<;<<< Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service pop3 Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service pop3s Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service ftp Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service poppassd Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service smtp Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: readjusting service smtps Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Reconfigured: new=0 old=6 dropped=1 (services) Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Starting reconfiguration Mar 27 07:34:59 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd: xinetd -HUP succeeded Mar 27 07:35:00 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: Swapping defaults Mar 27 07:35:00 ip-208-109-17-209 xinetd[32108]: service pop3 deactivated <<<<<;<<<<<<<<<<<;<<<< I added the <<<<<;<<'s. When I look at /etc/xinetd.d I see the 3 deactivated services there as zero length files. When I telnet localhost 110 - I get permission denied. When I netstat -al \| grep 110 - I get nothing (same in each case for smtp/port 25 - qmail) Since Courier-Imap was pre-installed - I don't have a copy of the service configuration files to restore into /etc/xinetd.d If it makes sense that the "zeroing" of the files is the deactivation that was logged and that restoring the files will like restore pop3 services, - can someone please help me get the three files /etc/xinetd.d/courier-imap /etc/xinetd.d/courier-imapds /etc/xinetd.d/courier-pop3d OR - if this is likely not the real problem / there is something I should check also - please let me know. Thank you folks! Brian Batson ;

These are custom configuration files, furthermore this is not even the standard way to install Courier-IMAP. This some GoDaddy-written crap. You'll have to get them to fix it. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
