Exim update failed - can't move exim.conf file?

[Loosie94]

Hi, I just updated my (DirectAdmin) VPS with CustomBuild to version: 2.0.0 (rev: 2939)
but Exim is not running anymore after updating.

When trying to update or rebuild Exim, it stopped at the end and the response is:

Moving exim binary.
######################################################################## 100.0%
mv: cannot move '/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/temp/tmp.E9KhHSWnrOsafeDownloadWithMove' to '/etc/exim.conf': Operation not permitted
Move from /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/temp/tmp.E9KhHSWnrOsafeDownloadWithMove to /etc/exim.conf failed, exiting...
[root@vps0356 custombuild]# ./build exim_conf

What is can be causing this?
I already ran `./set_permissions.sh all` but this didn't work either.
This seems to be a known issue: https://forum.directadmin.com/threa...n-catch-all-after-updating.66474/#post-348961

Hope anyone knows the answer how to fix this, because my clients can't mail at the moment because of this issue...
Many thanks!

Did you solve the problem? I'm having the same problem and couldn't find any solution.

I think you may have immutable flag set for /etc/exim.conf Maybe you've customized that file and didn't want it to get updated? Please check:

lsattr /etc/exim.conf
