postfix chdir permission denied

Post by kalessin »

Hi everyone, on a new installed efa5, Im getting this:

ec 5 12:25:07 efa02 postfix/master[183071]: daemon started -- version 3.5.25, configuration /etc/postfix
Dec 5 12:25:31 efa02 sendmail[183095]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
Dec 5 12:26:02 efa02 sendmail[183271]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
Dec 5 12:26:33 efa02 sendmail[183293]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied

expected or needs to be fixed?

Edit:
I did ,
sudo chown -R postfix:postfix /var/spool/mqueue
sudo chmod 755 /var/spool/mqueue

but still getting this error

This could be MailWatch trying to monitor the queues, but I'm not sure why it would be trying to use sendmail for that. Does it only log when the MailWatch UI is open for about every 30 seconds?

I looked at the queue logic in MailWatch and can't figure out how you are getting this warning.

In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, what is the value for the following:

MTA
Incoming Queue Dir
Outgoing Queue Dir

In /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php:

MS_CONFIG_DIR

haven't change those,
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/milterin

# Set location of outgoing mail queue.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/milterout

// Paths
define('MAILWATCH_HOME', '/var/www/html/mailscanner');
define('MS_CONFIG_DIR', '/etc/MailScanner/');
define('MS_SHARE_DIR', '/usr/share/MailScanner/'); // Path for ConfigDefs.pl file
define('MS_LIB_DIR', '/usr/lib/MailScanner/'); // Path for sophos-wrapper file
define('MS_EXECUTABLE_PATH', '/usr/sbin/MailScanner');
define('IMAGES_DIR', '/images/'); // Both leading and trailing slash needed
define('SA_DIR', '/usr/bin/');
define('SA_RULES_DIR', '/etc/mail/spamassassin');
define('SA_PREFS', MS_CONFIG_DIR . 'spamassassin.conf'); // spam.assassin.prefs.conf in V4, spamassassin.conf in V5
define('TEMP_DIR', '/tmp/');
