FreeBSD sendmail start stop

Posted in Personal Life on 09/02/2009 11:05 am by admin

To stop sendmail:

cd /etc/mail
make stop

To start sendmail:

cd /etc/mail
make start

To restart sendmail:

cd /etc/mail
make restart

To get sendmail to regenerate aliases, the virtual user table and other stuff, run make on its own like so:

cd /etc/mail
make

After running “make” on its own, sendmail automatically reads all the files so you shouldn’t need to restart sendmail yourself at this point.

The header information from the Makefile in /etc/mail contains information about commands that can be passed to make. The top of this file is listed below.

# This Makefile provides an easy way to generate the configuration
# file and database maps for the sendmail(8) daemon.
#
# The user-driven targets are:
#
# all     - Build cf, maps and aliases
# cf       - Build the .cf file from .mc file
# maps     - Build the feature maps
# aliases - Build the sendmail aliases
# install - Install the .cf file as /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
#
# For acting on both the MTA daemon and MSP queue running daemon:
# start         - Start both the sendmail MTA daemon and MSP queue running
#                 daemon with the flags defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or
#                 /etc/rc.conf
# stop         - Stop both the sendmail MTA daemon and MSP queue running
#                 daemon
# restart       - Restart both the sendmail MTA daemon and MSP queue running
#                 daemon
#
# For acting on just the MTA daemon:
# start-mta     - Start the sendmail MTA daemon with the flags defined in
#                 /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf
# stop-mta     - Stop the sendmail MTA daemon
# restart-mta   - Restart the sendmail MTA daemon
#
# For acting on just the MSP queue running daemon:
# start-mspq   - Start the sendmail MSP queue running daemon with the
#                 flags defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf
# stop-mspq     - Stop the sendmail MSP queue running daemon
# restart-mspq - Restart the sendmail MSP queue running daemon
#
# Calling `make' will generate the updated versions when either the
# aliases or one of the map files were changed.
#
# A `make install` is only necessary after modifying the .mc file. In
# this case one would normally also call `make restart' to allow the
# running sendmail to pick up the changes as well.

 

Terrible configuration : Session Cache is not configured

Posted in Works on 04/29/2009 11:11 pm by admin

It took me almost sleepless nights begging Google for the answer on the installation of PHP and Apache.

The error in /var/log/httpd-error.log was as simple as this:

[warn] Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

when Php is not installed, Apache worked fine. I had tried to uninstall and reinstall many times but no avail. At last, the savor is :

vi /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini
#extension=recode.so (check it marked)
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start

Why the hell did I compose recode with php-extensions.
