warning: database /etc/postfix/vmail_ssl.map.db is older than source file /etc/p

[zeejdeej]

hello,

postfix is giving this warning : warning: database /etc/postfix/vmail_ssl.map.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/vmail_ssl.map

i tried to run the below suggested commands from cwp forum thread : http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/postfix/i-can-send-email-but-i-can%27t-receive/

$ postmap -F hash:/etc/postfix/vmail_ssl.map
$ service postfix reload

but no luck , the warning is still appearing .

can someone suggest me a workaround for this ?

Regards,

Zeeshan Javed

the service postfix reload had no effect so i tried service postfix stop and service postfix start. and now the warning has changed to as below:
what should be the correct ower for the below two files? i tried changing it to root and the postfix service crashed and failed to restart ?

: warning: not owned by root: /etc/postfix/./vacation.php
: warning: not owned by root: /etc/postfix/./mysql-virtual_vacation.cf

chown root:mail both of those files

[zeejdeej]

on my other server which is also running cwp pro these files have same owner i.e.

-rw-r-----. 1 vacation mail   211 May 22 11:22 mysql-virtual_vacation.cf
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 vacation root  2599 Mar 10 01:47 vacation.php

and there is no error on that server.

the above mentioned warnings were gone after postfix service stop start multiple times . this is strange as there seems to be some mishandling of user permissions by cwp.

[Sandeep]

who is misleading permission, from our side it is fine

[zeejdeej]

then why the same issue keep on appearing for multiple files and services and go away just by restarting the service ?  same thing is happening with PID files which exists with a valid PID but it says cant find or open file. again it disappear after service restart

[Sandeep]

rebuild mail server will fix any issue with it. Pid which you didn't need to give attention

[zeejdeej]

ok thanks, i will give it a try to rebuild mail server...
