EXIM problem

[streamservice]

Hello,

I updated my debian servers (2 servers) whit apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-et upgrade and apt-get update and now EXIM isn't working anymore. Starting it whit Direct Admin is also not possible anymore. Anyone an idea how i can fix this problem?

Thank you

What are the errors? Just saying it isn't working and won't start doesn't help too much.

Did you manage to either update or install exim with apt-get?

If so, you might need to uninstall it and then install it again from the DA supplied versions here.

It probably was updated when i updated the totall server.

I did remove it now, but i can't install it again whit any off the packages you offer on that site.

some quote off the errors i get.

server2:~# ./da_exim-4.54.deb
./da_exim-4.54.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./da_exim-4.54.deb: line 1: `!<arch>'

server2:~# dpkg -i da_exim-4.54.deb

the system only has debian (net install, minimum install) on it and Direct Admin

i now have also da-apt on the server. i did try to reinstall direct admin but this didn't help for so far i can see (it still doesn't run exim).

In the attachment i have the logs i did make off the installation off Direct Admin (client ID and licence are censored, admin's can ask for this information if needed).

Try remove all exim related packages. By looking at your log file, you still had exim4-config-2 installed, and that prevented da_exim from being installed. I am not that familiar with Debian, so I can't tell you exactly how to do that. But I would remove that package and try to install the da_exim package. Hopefully, that should be all you need to do.

I did try to remove EXIM totally, but i can't find a way to do that. anyone an idea? everytime i try i get the following error:
