timsieve w/ squirrelmail broken after repairPermissions

[jzebor]

afp548ers,

I followed the instructions to install timsieve, etc.. It worked fine until I ran repairPermissions. Now when I try to access the filter section of squirrelmail i get the following error.

Warning: split(): REG_EMPTY in /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/avelsieve/lib/sieve-php.lib.php on line 427

I figured it might be a permissions problem so I tried to set the things involving mail stuff, squirrelmail and sasl that diskutil changed back to their original state. No luck. I watched /var/log/system.log and see this message everytime I try to run the filter.

timsieved[1577]: auxpropfunc error generic failure

i also notcied this

could not lock pid file /var/state/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid: Resource temporarily unavailable

saslauthd[25009]: detach_tty : Cannot start saslauthd

saslauthd[25009]: detach_tty : Another instance of saslauthd is currently running

i tried a reboot and same troubles. Not sure where to go from here so some help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve done the same thing. I always repair permissions after an installation, and I think that’s what screwed things up with the filter. Any suggestions?

[JonThompson]

I’ve figured out something…

http://yourURL/WebMail/plugins/avelsieve/table.php?sieve_loggedin=true

this will give you a different error. However, hitting the back button, then
hitting “Filters” again will allow you to edit filters without an error.

This will stick until you logout of WebMail.

I don’t have time to figure out what this means, but I figured I would give it to
others to ponder as well.

Just out of interest, did when you say rerun the installers, do assume you mean timseive, avelsieve and BDB? the same for cyrus sasl?

I’m on my hols for 3 weeks from Sun, and am desparate to get this working! Just installed it on a fresh install on my xserve, and it still don’t work Works ok on my test machine though!

I think it’s easier to repair the repaired permissions:

# cd /usr/lib/sasl2/
# sudo chgrp 6 pwauxprop.*
# sudo chmod 705 pwauxprop.*

The process should work again after that.

Thanks for the info. I have used the commands that you mentioned, but the filter still doesn’t seem to work
This is strange, and annoying, but there you go really! I’ve tried a few of the filter options to see if one would work, even if the others didn’t (I appreciate that if one works they all should, and vice versa, but you never know!), but with no joy

If it’s of any help I had already rerun the timsieved installer before reading your entry. Should this have made any difference do you think?

Has any body been able to get this working?

To get it working I changed all the appropriate files back to their original permissions and restarted saslauthd.

as root

killall saslauthd

/usr/local/saslauthd -a PAM

I suffered the problem described earlier, with the error
“unable to dlopen /usr/lib/sasl2/pwauxprop.so: dlcompat: can’t read object file” in system.log

Restarting saslauthd did NOT correct it.

However, resetting the permissions on /usr/sieve DID correct the problem.

In brief:

sudo chown -R cyrus:mail /usr/sieve/

sudo chmod -R go= /usr/sieve/

Works like a charm, now

This one worked for me no need to restart anything.
Thanks Woody

I can’t seen to get past this error in sytem log.
Aug 27 17:04:49 localhost timsieved[1168]: unable to open LA file: /usr/lib/sasl2/pwauxprop.la
Aug 27 17:04:49 localhost timsieved[1168]: unable to dlopen /usr/lib/sasl2/pwauxprop.so: dlcompat: can’t read object file
I tried this:
# cd /usr/lib/sasl2/
# sudo chgrp 6 pwauxprop.*
# sudo chmod 705 pwauxprop.*
No change
what I get in webmail is: Could not log on to timsieved daemon on your IMAP server localhost.
I must have missed something along the way.
I have reinstalled, rebooted and wrecked a perfectly good desk.
Thanks in advance.

I got it to work.
Wrong auth type selected in conf.pl.

[nerkles]

the tip above which said to do this:

sudo chown -R cyrus:mail /usr/sieve/

sudo chmod -R go= /usr/sieve/

WORKED in my case!
thanks.
