Perl and cgi script installation

[falko]

Then it might be a problem with your /etc/hosts file, i.e. localhost doesn't exist in it or points to a wrong IP address. What's in /etc/hosts?

Hi falko,

etc/hosts is like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost debian1

192.168.21.233 debian1.mydomain.com debian1

192.168.21.234 virtual-ip1.mydomain.com virtual-ip1



# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Hm, looks ok...
I'd then use the IP address 127.0.0.1 in your script, that should work.

Hi Falko,

I am trying to install sendmail on another newly installed server following your perfect setup at http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/sen..._tls/index.php. When i now try to test if its working and got this result:

debian:~# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server12.mydomain.com ESMTP Exim 4.50 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:11:29 +0100

250-server12.mydomain.com Hello localhost [127.0.0.1]

Thanks.

What is the question?

[linuxuser1]

Hi Falko,

The question is when as per your perfect setup you tested with telnet,
you got many outputs like

250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
PIPELINING
8BITTIME
DSN
ETRN
AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
STARTTLS
DELIVERY
HELP

whereas my own output on has
250-SIZE 52428800
250-PIPELINING
250 HELP
and am wondering why

Thank you

[falko]

What's the output of

/usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.1 -bv root

?

[linuxuser1]

Hi Falko,

Output as follows:

server1:~# /usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.1 -bv root

Many Thanks.

Looks ok. Did you create /etc/mail/sendmail.cf exactly as described in the tutorial?

[linuxuser1]

Hi Falko,

Yes exactly

Thanks
