MailWatch issues?

[Matt Kehler]

DBI 138 and dbd-mysql-2.9002 on Redhat Linux 7.3 (full updated).

Anyways, my dbd-mysql was halfa$$ installed, so I fixed that; now I get the following:

Database ping failure attempting to re-connect 
Cannot insert row: MySQL server has gone away 

But at least thats a step forward :)

thx
Matt

Hi Matt,

It must be hanging at the DBI->connect line - does it eventually time-out??

What are your versions of DBI and DBD-MySQL and which OS are you running
this on, also is the database running on the local machine and can you
verify connections to MySQL by doing a 'mysql -h <host> -u <user> -p <pass>'
from the command-line using the values you entered into MailWatch.pm.

Also it may be worth enabling DBI tracing and seeing if anything appears in
the trace file.

Kind regards,
Steve.

I just found that issue (and did it) right before I received this email. Now
I DO get the 'intialising database connection' line, but I never get a
"Finished initialising database connection" message.  And same end result;
email stops flowing.

thanks Steve

Hi Matt,

You need to make sure that the 'require MailScanner/MailWatch.pm' line is
below the line that starts '$VERSION = substr...' in CustomConfig.pm and it
should start working.

This will be in the docs for the next release.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Not sure where else to post this as the MailWatch forum on sourceforge
doesn't have much action. Anyone have issues installing MailWatch for
Mailscanner; where MailScanner does not initialize the database upon
startup?  ie

Oct 15 08:56:01 sydney MailScanner[6673]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.24-5 starting...
Oct 15 08:56:02 sydney MailScanner[6673]: Config: calling custom init
function MailWatchLogging

And thats it, there is nothing after that in terms of any error messages.
Mail does *not* flow at all after this until until I take MailWatch out of
the picture. I checked my authentication to MySQL, the db all looks fine.
Ideas? Or should I post this elsewhere?

thx
Matt
