Hi,
I have already read the other posts related to same issue and googled enough, but no clear and direct how to, and I just got my ispconfig 3 installed on a vps and I am so afraid to miss things up.
So as title says how to disable all 3 services( SpamAssassin and ClamAV and amavis), as I only need the apache and mysql service on this vps for a high traffic web site, no email options is needed, and when ever things change i can re-enable what I need of them.
Help is apriciated alot.
Thank you all.

Disable the mail module in ispconfig3 under System/Edit Server and than shutdown the services on the server.

Hi,
first of all thank you for your kind reply, but I only need to disable these 3 services, I need the mail module running, just in case, I only need to free up the ram that these 3 services consume as they run.
Thank you.

Hello Darkhoros,
I am a Linux noob but I think when you use :
"chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd on"
"chkconfig --levels 235 clamd.amavisd on"
to start ClamAV and Amavis at bootup
and:
"/etc/init.d/amavisd start"
"/etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start"
to start ClamAV and Amavis again when manualy stopped.
You can use:
"chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd off"
"chkconfig --levels 235 clamd.amavisd off"
to prevent ClamAV and Amavis starting at bootup.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, it gave me some light.
ok I used this to stop current running services.
server# /etc/init.d/amavis stop
server# /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
server# /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop
they stopped and free about 150 MB of ram, very nice, I then editied the apache2.conf file and raise its resources, things went much better from there.
I think using your way to exclude them from start up on boot will work once I change the services name, but I will try this later once I make sure that every thing is stable with my setup.
Again thank you for lighting the way for me.:D
