Topic: 0.7.0 database problem?

hi,

i use 0.7.0 with mysql backend, on debian squeeze 64.
the server was up since months, without problems.
this morning something went wrong, nobody could send or receive mails.
i found this in the mail.log:

postfix/smtpd[7074]: warning: connect to 127.0.0.1:7777: Connection refused

after restarting the server everything was ok.

i read in the forums that this was because iredapd was not running.
it's really interesting what happened that stopped iredapd, i did not do any system updates or anything in the last months.

later today i noticed that roundcube stops working randomly, it prints an error message about database error, a few seconds later everything is ok again.
this happened a few times this afternoon.

please help me to find what causes these problems.

thanks
adam

i found lines like these in the log:

Re: 0.7.0 database problem?

thank you for your answer.

i applied the patch and until now everything seems working smile

another question:

in 0.7.0, when the server starts, sometimes postfix-policyd starts before mysql and drops error messages in the log.
in this case i have to restart the service manually.

is this fixed in the newer versions?

thank you
adam

Of course you can.

This is a Debian/Ubuntu bug in /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd, you can help create a bug ticket in http://launchpad.net/
You can also change start order in /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd manually.
