Popfile crash - Ubuntu 9.04

Hi all,

I use popfile on Ubuntu Pc. It's always works fine on Ubuntu 6.04,7.04,8.04. Last week I decide to move on 9.04

On the latest stable Ubuntu POPFILE stops to work.

I start the process manually but it crashes In the log I can find:

2009/11/29 21:33:28 6614: POPFile v1.0.1 starting
2009/11/29 21:33:28 6614: bayes: 747: Attempting to connect to dbi:SQLite2:dbname=/var/lib/popfile/popfile.db (1)
2009/11/29 21:33:28 6614: bayes: 753: Using SQLite library version 2.8.15

I do not find any useful information.

DO you have any suggestions?

Aprile!

When you tried to start POPFile manually did you use the start_popfile.sh script from a terminal? If you did then some messages should have appeared in the terminal window. It would help if you could supply these messages.

A successful start will generate something like this:

POPFile Engine loading

         {classifier: bayes wordmangle}

         {proxy: pop3} 
         {services:} 

POPFile Engine v1.0.1 running

If you used a different method to start POPFile did you see any messages in the terminal window?

  Brian,
  
  thanks for your feedback! Normally Popfile starts at the boot [it's a service that I've enalbed). Since it does not work I go in /etc/init.d/popfile start
  
  After that I can see the two lines I've reported and I notice that the demon dies.
  
  Any suggestions?

    Here is what my log file shows when I start POPFile and then shut it down on my Xubuntu 9.10 system.

```
    On your system POPFile is not getting as far as reporting these warnings. I suspect POPFile is displaying some console error messages and then stopping. The easiest way to see these console messages is to run this command to start POPFile (instead of the init.d script):
```
sudo /usr/share/popfile/start_popfile.sh
```
    Running this command should display some messages which will help identify the problem.

      Thanks,
      
      let me try.
      
      First I do:
      
      /etc/init.d/popfile stop
      Stopping popfile: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 8210: No such process
      No process in pidfile `/var/run/popfile/popfile.pid' found running; none killed.
      popfile.
      
      So NO istance of this process seems to be running
      
      THAN
      
      as you suggest sudo /usr/share/popfile/start_popfile.sh
      
      POPFile Engine loading

      {proxy: smtp nntp pop3}
      {services: imap}
      
      POPFile Engine v1.0.1 starting

      {proxy: nntp pop3 smtp}
      {services: imap}
      
      Starting...
      
      A copy of POPFile appears to be running.
      
      Attempting to signal the previous copy.
      Waiting 10 seconds for a reply.
      
      The other POPFile (8210) failed to signal back, starting new copy (8217)
      
      {core: config history logger mq}
      {classifier: bayes wordmangle}
      
      Couldn't start the html HTTP interface because POPFile could not bind to the
      HTTP port 7070. This could be because there is another service
      using that port or because you do not have the right privileges on
      your system (On Unix systems this can happen if you are not root
      and the port you specified is less than 1024).
      
      Failed to start while starting the html module at /usr/share/popfile/POPFile/Loader.pm line 646.
      
      NO IDEA.
      
      THANKS in the meantime [I've disabled my firewall in order to simplify the debugging]

        POPFile isn't able to start because there is another process already using port 7070. To find out what process this is, issue the following command:
        
        sudo lsof -i :7070
        
        (you may have to install the lsof package first.)
        
        If you don't want to stop that other process, you can make POPFile bind to a different port by editing /usr/share/popfile/start_popfile.sh Simply find the line near the top that says UIPORT=7070 and change it to something else, for example UIPORT=7072.
        
        Should you decide to change the port, you wil have to use a different URL to access POPFile's UI. If you change the port to 7072, you must then use http://localhost:7072/
        
        manni

        Thanks,
        
        But there is nothing at this port.
        
        The command sudo lsof -i :7070 return nothing [If I change the port I see the service so...]
        
        THANKS

        How did you upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 9.04?
        
        Ubuntu 8.04 uses Perl 5.8.8 and Ubuntu 9.04 uses Perl 5.10.0. POPFile requires some additional Perl modules which are not part of a normal Perl installation. It is possible that your Ubuntu 9.04 system still has some old Perl modules and these are causing the problem.
        
        I installed Ubuntu 8.04, used the Update Manager to install all of the updates then used the Synaptic Package Manager to install POPFile 1.0.0. Here is the installation log:
        
        libperl5.8 (version 5.8.8-12) will be upgraded to version 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.4 perl (version 5.8.8-12) will be upgraded to version 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.4 perl-base (version 5.8.8-12) will be upgraded to version 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.4 perl-modules (version 5.8.8-12) will be upgraded to version 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.4 libcompress-raw-zlib-perl (version 2.008-1ubuntu0.1) will be installed libcompress-zlib-perl (version 2.008-1) will be installed libconvert-binhex-perl (version 1.119+pristine-2) will be installed libcrypt-ssleay-perl (version 0.55-1) will be installed libdbd-sqlite2-perl (version 2:0.33-7) will be installed libdbi-perl (version 1.601-1) will be installed libemail-abstract-perl (version 2.134-1) will be installed libemail-date-perl (version 1.102-1) will be installed libemail-simple-perl (version 2.003-1) will be installed libfcgi-perl (version 0.67-2) will be installed libfile-temp-perl (version 0.20-0ubuntu1) will be installed libhtml-template-perl (version 2.9-1) will be installed libio-compress-base-perl (version 2.008-1) will be installed libio-compress-zlib-perl (version 2.008-1) will be installed libio-socket-ssl-perl (version 1.02-1) will be installed libio-stringy-perl (version 2.110-3) will be installed libmailtools-perl (version 2.02-1) will be installed libmime-lite-perl (version 3.020-2ubuntu2) will be installed libmime-perl (version 5.425-2) will be installed libmime-tools-perl (version 5.425-2) will be installed libmodule-pluggable-perl (version 3.6-1) will be installed libnet-daemon-perl (version 0.38-1.1) will be installed libnet-ssleay-perl (version 1.30-1) will be installed libossp-uuid-perl (version 1.5.1-1.1ubuntu1) will be installed libossp-uuid15 (version 1.5.1-1.1ubuntu1) will be installed libplrpc-perl (version 0.2017-1.1) will be installed libsoap-lite-perl (version 0.69-2) will be installed libtime-piece-perl (version 1.11-2) will be installed libtimedate-perl (version 1.1600-9) will be installed popfile (version 1.0.0-0ubuntu2) will be installed
        POPFile was able to start and I could access and use the UI.
        
        I then used the Update Manager to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. This upgrade changed Perl 5.8.8 to 5.10.0 and POPFile 1.0.0 to 1.0.1. POPFile still started up and the UI still worked.
        
        I then used the Update Manager to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. POPFile still started up and the UI still worked.
        
        I also tried a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04. After installing 9.04 I used the Update Manager to get all of the updates then used Synaptic Package Manager to install POPFile 1.0.1:
        
        libconvert-binhex-perl (1.119+pristine-3) libcrypt-ssleay-perl (0.57-1) libdbd-sqlite2-perl (2:0.33-8) libdbi-perl (1.607-1) libfcgi-perl (0.67-3) libhtml-template-perl (2.9-1) libio-socket-ssl-perl (1.18-1) libio-stringy-perl (2.110-4) libmime-tools-perl (5.427-2) libnet-daemon-perl (0.43-1) libnet-libidn-perl (0.07-1build1) libnet-ssleay-perl (1.35-2ubuntu1) libossp-uuid-perl (1.6.2-0ubuntu1) libossp-uuid15 (1.6.2-0ubuntu1) libplrpc-perl (0.2020-1) libsoap-lite-perl (0.710.08-2) popfile (1.0.1-0ubuntu2)
        POPFile still started up and I could use the UI.
