Hello

my exim is down and can not start when I run "service exim start'

[root@server ~]# service exim status
exim dead but pid file exists
[root@server ~]#

[root@server ~]# service exim restart
Shutting down exim: /etc/init.d/exim: line 40: kill: (24791) - No such process
Starting exim:
[root@server ~]#

Please check if exim reinstallation fixes the problem:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build exim
 
It didn't gave any error notice after starting so it looks like exim started.

What does
/etc/init.d/exim status
say now?
 
hello


[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/exim status
exim dead but pid file exists
[root@server ~]#
 
Just to be sure, could you try this? Maybe it's something with permissions. As root:
Code: 
/etc/init.d/exim stop
rm -rf /var/run exim.pid
/etc/init.d/exim start
/etc/init.d/exim status
Same error then or is it starting that way?

Can you also have a look at /var/log/exim/paniclog if there are any entry's?
 
Hello I did it

[root@server1 run]# /etc/init.d/exim stop
Shutting down exim:
[root@server1 run]# rm -rf /var/run exim.pid
[root@server1 run]# /etc/init.d/exim start
Starting exim:
[root@server1 run]# /etc/init.d/exim status
exim dead but subsys locked
[root@server1 run]# tail /var/log/exim/paniclog
[root@server1 run]# du -sh /var/log/exim/paniclog
0 /var/log/exim/paniclog


The /var/log/exim/paniclog is emprty
