SpamAssassin 2 versions installed

[chaser010]

I've got 2 versions of SpamAssassin running. I initially installed via the old method. I think via the spam.sh script. Now that custombuild 2.0 is being used it won't update.

How can I remove the old installation and use the new one ?

[root@server2 scripts]# /usr/bin/spamassassin --version
SpamAssassin version 3.4.4
running on Perl version 5.16.3

[root@server2 scripts]# spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 3.4.1
running on Perl version 5.16.3




[root@server2 custombuild]# ps aux | grep spam

SpamAsassin is installed with Apt or Yum and can be uninstalled by specifying the specific version.

i.e. with php you would run:

Centos
yum remove php72

Ubuntu / Debian
apt remove php7.2

Thanks, it's not installed with yum? I just found that the latest version are being used by the mail server although the old one is still there.

Was this a CB 1 server?
What is the os?

Did you follow the convert guide on how to move from 1 to 2?

once you are sure it’s all working

try running
./build clean
./build update
./build remove_items
