For us RH/Cent users we have to wait until John gets an RPM up.

Shouldn't be long.

van.

I emailed John about this this morning, he's got the SRC rpm's already up.


Hello,

Thanks, added src rpm and freebsd/debian binaries to files.directadmin.com/services

Thank you,

John
--------------------------------------------------

upgraded and working fine.

updated and working, thanks

Greetings guys,

wondering if you guys can plz post a working DA + exim config here or a link where i can gt one as i cant seem to get mine working

Do a search for spam blocker, you can use that exim.conf.

Why don't you post the 'how to for DA' ?

Worked like a charm.

I had no luck with this release on a RH# box. I had problems communicating with some qmail servers as my Exim was disconnecting them.

Worked like a charm.

yes in case you installed rpm libs & depends
then --force and --nodepends & probably need to reboot

For all, think this is a challenge :

I'd like to see the script with the tarball source, which could help more people, and probably would be cleaner.

Is it the rule here to *NOT* help but say *it work on my comp* ?

Only a few people here post working script/solution and write how-to ;-) for us newbies with no experience.

I'm not sure if you are talking to me, but I did exactly what I posted. I created the rpm from the src rpm, installed it and restarted exim, after verifying the settings in exim.conf were still intact.

Not too tough I didn't think.

what you wrote is very good for the rpm's people, but we need source how-to to !
Also scripters, wake up ;-)

From what I see, you are use FC3, which is rpm based. Why don't you want to use the RPM? If you really want to see the source, install the src.rpm and look in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE, in there you will see the tarball for exim as well as all the DA supporting modules, such as exim.pl, exim.conf,... If you understand the layout of the RPM spec file, you can read the /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/exim.spec file and see everything it is doing.

Unless you are on Debian or FreeBSD, I see no reason at all for not using the RPM's, especially if you are a "newbie with no experience".

toml,

just see a few reasons :

rpm will provide some (errors) messages and not install like :
rpmbuild :unknown command
directory does not exist
libxxso & other fault ....

what should we do ?
first again and again search, read forum ?
always 'yum update' something we don't understand ?
what about wrong version ?

When some(one) made a good how-to script, we can copy paste in ssh, and most of the time it is without errors.

Thinking the one could build a SOS service for DA/FC3 could win some bucks.

Even the files.directadmin.com/... has not up2dates files and sometimes errors in example : http://files.directadmin.com/services/customapache/configure.apache_ssl with old directive 1.3.34

WE ARE LOST ! WE NEED REAL HELP !

excuse me for crying, but i think something like that sos

I see john got freebsd 4.x version to compile also now good
