Hotwayd not working on Mandriva 2007.1 [solved]

[bamboccio]

Hi,

 

I have installed hotwayd 8.2 on Mandriva 2007.1 and it does not work. On 2007.0 worked first shot. Now when I try

telnet 127.0.0.1 110

I get no reply. I noticed that hotwayd is not showing in my services so I tried starting it manually but still when I do telnet 127.0.0.1 110 I get no reply.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Open a console prompt, and run the following, and post the results so we can see if it's listening:

 

netstat -tuan

 

and if port 110 is listening, then do:

 

netstat -tunlp

 

and it will tell us what program is running on that port.

[bamboccio]

netstat -tunlp | grep 110

Gives me nothing :(

But when I run

hotwayd

+OK POP3 hotwayd v0.8 -> The POP3-HTTPMail Gateway. Server on localhost active.

 

And

ls -la /etc/xinetd.d/

total 24

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 18 19:10 ./

drwxr-xr-x 95 root root 4096 May 23 23:01 ../

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228 May 17 23:14 hotwayd.rpmsave

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 317 Nov 7 2006 rsync

 

 

Any logs I should check?

Maybe the services aren't started, please post the output from:

 

chkconfig --list

 

so we can see if the service for hotwayd is enabled, along with xinetd. Also, after starting hotwayd, it should give us the port 110 listening, so the netstat command after starting hotwayd should report 110 as listening.

[bamboccio]

chkconfig --list | grep hot

And nothing comes out.

 

Looks like the service is not started. And also when I start it manually nothing listens on port 110 :( Any idea of where the logs are if any?

 

Many thanks!

Can you do it as I posted, so that we get every service listed. It may be called something else, and not hotwayd.

chkconfig --list

Firstly, if hotwayd is an xinet service, you don't have xinet on your list of services. So, let's have a look and see what we've got.

 

rpm -qa | grep -i xinet

 

if we get a result, then xinet is installed, but, there is no service for it on the list. Post back and let me know whether it is installed or not. We can then go from there. Alternatively, if it's not installed:

 

urpmi xinetd

 

should do the trick, and then check to see if it's on the list of services to be enabled. Now, let's see what files are included in the hotwayd package. This way, we can see what files it created and where, and we can then see if a service for it exists in /etc/init.d. If it doesn't exist in /etc/init.d then I would think it's an xinet service, and the list of files should also show that it's written something to the xinet directory.

 

rpm -ql hotwayd

 

assuming of course the package is called hotwayd. Please post the results here so I can see.

Thanks! Xinetd was not installed, I have installed, then started it and then Hotwayd works!

 

Many thanks again!

[ianw1974]

Nice one glad we got there :)
