    Angry exim has failed !! Error : package exim is not installed!!

    Hello All,
    Yesterday I tried to upgarde cpanel on my RedHat 7.3 server.Fortunately it upgraded the cpanel to 9.4 version but left me in bigger mess.When I looked in service status i found exim,imap both failed(showing red balls).
    Along with exim it is showing message that package exim is not installed.Now I am wondering how this happened?.I upgraded the cpanel only nothing else to 9.4.
    I tried to build apache and upgarding cpanel so that exim get installed but it failed.
    I tried /scripts/exim3 and /scripts/exim4 but they are ginving error:

    Resetting Exim to cPanel Defaults and Installing the Latest Version
    `/etc/localdomains' -> `/etc/localdomains.eximreset'

    You might want to check to make sure there are no conflicting packages.

    This is a long shot

    rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
    rpm -rebuilddb
    rpm -rebuilddb
    and then

    /scripts/upcp --force

    Hello Mr.Security,
    I have tried to reinstall cpanel through /scripts/upcp
    should I go for cpanel installation by
    wget layer1.cpanel.net/latest
    sh latest -target OtherDirectory
    These two commands made the mess!!
    Should I go for it again?
    THanks very much !!!

    did you use the --force parameter? and rebuild the rpm database as stated above? Maybe edit /etc/cpupdate.conf and change the cpanel version to current or edge.

    Not always, bad binarys / libarys can do the same thing.

    Hello Mr.Scurity,
    I just now posted on forum but this is what I have to say. Security as you know Today i checkd my up2date log and i found this:
    Sun Jun 20 13:57:38 2004] up2date Opening rpmdb in /var/lib/rpm/ with option 0
    [Sun Jun 20 13:57:38 2004] up2date Opening rpmdb in /var/lib/rpm/ with option 0
    [Sun Jun 20 17:57:39 2004] up2date new up2date run started
    [Sun Jun 20 17:57:39 2004] up2date Opening rpmdb in /var/lib/rpm/ with option 0

    [Sun Jun 20 21:57:38 2004] up2date new up2date run started
    So even if I tried /scripts/upcp my updation might have failed and my demo account is disabled with rhn.
    When I type up2date on shell it shows:
    Error Class Code: 111
    Error Class Info: Email address not validated; service disabled
    ****************************
    Dose it mean that only up2date failed or dose it mean that i can't update my packages !!Even my cpanel shows cpanel version 9.4 I doubt !!
    What is real mess?Why after so much trying exim isn't get updated?
    PLease help
