Cannot Install MailScanner on CentOS 6

Sun Nov 25 01:31:02 UTC 2018

Hello Thom,

Thank you very much for your reply, it is very much appreciated!

I managed to figure out that indeed, my Internet connection was not working properly.  Then I tried installing again, and had other issues and the install failed.

However, then I downloaded the very latest version, and the installation worked!

Now, I just need to figure out how to migrate all of my old MailScanner configuration settings, Mailwatch, etc. over to this new server.

Thank you again!

Paul,

Is this a "brand new" server you are setting up?

Please check wether wget and curl have been installed by typing: yum install wget curl epel-release

Furthermore you are trying to install an outdated version

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/msv5/release/MailScanner-5.1.2-2.rhel.tar.gz

Please do every "normal" things to test your internet connection. Are you behind a proxy?

try ping 8.8.8.8
try downloading other files

Does the commands "yum -y upgrade" work?

Met vriendelijke groet, Best regards,

Onderwerp: Cannot Install MailScanner on CentOS 6

I am getting the following at the end of the installation process, every time that I try:

Installing the MailScanner RPM ...
error: Failed dependencies:

----------------------------------------------------------
Installation Error

The MailScanner RPM failed to install. Address the required
dependencies and run the installer again. Note that electing
to use EPEL and CPAN should resolve dependency errors.

Note that Perl modules need to be available system-wide. A
common issue is that missing modules were installed in a
user specific configuration.

I have tried telling the installer to use CPAN, but I get a lot of errors that look like this:

Warning: no success downloading '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp13565'. Giving up on it. at /usr/share/perl5/CPAN/Index.pm line 225
No external ftp command available

Your urllist is empty! The urllist can be edited. E.g. with 'o conf urllist
push ftp://myurl/'

Could not fetch authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Terminal does not support GetHistory.
Lockfile removed.

Any idea why this is happening?  Please help.  Thank you very much!
