Mailwatch

[Mark E. Donaldson]

This is a no doubt a MySQL problem. Either MySQL the MySQL daemon is not
running or the MySQL database is corrupted. Another possibility is the
hashing of the password. You may need to reset the password in MySQL using
the OLD_PASSWORD() function instaed of PASSWORD();

Can I ask a mailwatch question here?
If so here is the problem.  A few days ago on a debian server 3.01 the
mailscanner program failed to start and the server would not load until I
had to update-rc.d remove mailscanner and uninstall mailscanner,
spamassassin and mailwatch.  I then reinstalled the programs and from what I
can see it looks okay.  However I cannot get mailwatch to work.  My mysql
program sits on another server and in the conf.php and
/opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/MailWatch.pm
files on the mail server I have the variable db_host pointing to the correct
server.  However I still get the following message when I try to run
mailwatch

 Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.4'
(4) in /var/www/mailscanner/functions.php on line 497 Could not connect to
database: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.4' (4) 

This function is trying to call the MySQL database and for some reason the
information is not going through.

Any thoughts?


Thanks
