R/O: tie failed: Permission denied
hi Guys,
I have recently moved out mail server to new hardware.
It is setup exactly the same way (an identical mirror), yet I am getting the
following warnings in my spamd.log.
Tue Aug 12 15:13:36 2008 [6247] warn: bayes: cannot open bayes databases
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamdb/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied
Tue Aug 12 15:13:36 2008 [6247] warn: bayes: cannot open bayes databases
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamdb/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied
The strange thing is, it is marking emails as spam like it should be, and if
I sa-learn a message as spam it correctly shows as having worked when i run
sa-learn --dump magic the 'nspam' number shows as having inreased.
Any ideas :)
Cheers

Copying thigs across doesn't always preserve permissions.
For cp command, you would need the '-p' option. Same for scp or rcp.
rsync, would be -a option.
Most likely permissions problems. Since the error message says 'Permission
denied'
Look at permissions on the files AND the directory, and parent directory and
parent directory.

Thanks for the reply,
Well I installed everything on the new server and then just copied across
the mail folders, configuration files and of course the spamdb.
The permissions of the files are identical on both servers, and they are
both set to run as root (probally something to be frowned upon, but it
worked ok on the old server).
even the passwd file looks identical.

Probably a permission problem :-)
'move to new hardware'. Took disk out, put in in new hardware? Or
tarball/extrct? Scp? Rsync? Dump / reload?
Check to make sure the userid's, password file, groups, group permissions
are still the same.
