[iMS 5.2] - Unable to start up MMP proxy services.

Hi:

I encountered the following error when starting up the MMP services for version 5.2.

20040121 004914 /opt/iplanet/ims52/bin/msg/mmp/bin/AService ImapProxy(ImapProxyAService.cfg): exiting

20040121 004917 /opt/iplanet/ims52/bin/msg/mmp/bin/AService PopProxy(PopProxyAService.cfg): exiting

20040121 004917 /opt/iplanet/ims52/bin/msg/mmp/bin/AService SmtpProxy(SmtpProxyAService.cfg): exiting

20040121 005753 /opt/iplanet/ims52/bin/msg/mmp/bin/AService CField error: couldn't open MapFile file ImapProxyAService.cfg error 13

20040121 005753 /opt/iplanet/ims52/bin/msg/mmp/bin/AService CField error: couldn't open MapFile file PopProxyAService.cfg error 13

20040121 005753 /opt/iplanet/ims52/bin/msg/mmp/bin/AService CField error: couldn't open MapFile file SmtpProxyAService.cfg error 13

This error occurred when this server was rebooted and checks on the rc script (used to start/stop these processes) indicated no problems. The same Unix user was su-ed to start up all these processes and this was working fine previously.

Appreciate any comments cos I couldn't find anything useful on this forum for such errors.

Thanks,

Terence

I can't claim to know what error 13 is, but I'd look at ownership/permisisons of the config files, first. If that's not it, then your very best bet for a down system is to open up a proper tech support ticket.

Thanks for the reply. Have checked the file permissions and ownerships and they look fine to me.

Btw, do u happen to know how to interpret the timestamp of this log?

What does 004914 mean?

You need to be root to start MMP, as it accesses ports below 1024.20040121 004914January 21, 2004. 00:49.14 GMT

Thanks for the info.Btw, is there a way to set the timezone used by mmp? i.e. instead of GMT, use GMT+8?

We get the timezone from the OS. .. If you're talking about logging, I don't think that can be changed. I may be in error about it being gmt, though.
