[rt-users] problem with fetchmail

[James Smith]

Here is what happens *here*...

With Cygwin installed (for just me *or* for all users, fetchmail installed as part of cygwin or not), I get a "Lock creation failed". If I move the Cygwin directory to another name (like c:\cygwin-tmp), I get the "... not flushed" error. 

But! If I open up the Cygwin command box, it works.

I'm wondering if I need to go home, get back into bed, and get out on the *other* side...

Thanks for the pointer Paula.  Seems like that version of cygwin did the trick.  It did require additional steps.

This is what I had to do to get fetchmail to work:

Note: If you're having the same problem (fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 127) and don't want to re-install.  You may want to install CygWin and jump to steps 6 and 7.

1.Uninstalled RT and all Common apps.
2.Installed CygWin to c:\cygwin\
3.Re-installed version 3.0.10 with defaults.
4.Logged in, changed SMTPFrom and queue address.
5.Gave 'Everyone' create ticket rights (Global)
6.Renamed c:\program files\ourinternet\common\fetchmail\bin\cygwin1.dll TO cygwin1.old
7.Copied C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll (version: 1005.10.0.0  size: 1,153,417 bytes) TO c:\program files\ourinternet\common\fetchmail\
8.Copied c:\program files\ourinternet\common\fetchmail\rt-mailgate.conf.in to rt-mailgate.conf
9.Made necessary changes to rt-mailgate.conf
10.Changed ownership of to local administrator (logged in user)
11.Restarted Request Tracker service
12.Ran the RT-Mailgate shortcut in c:\program files\ourinternet\common\fetchmail\
13.Sent a test email to the general queue....and it started working. 
The next lines were...
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon
1 message for q_general at mail.mydomain.com (661 octets).
reading message q_general at mail.mydomain.com:1 of 1 (661 octets)  flushed
fetchmail: sleeping at Tue Jun 08 14:28:10 2004

Hope this helps other users out there fighting the same battle.  

Thanks,

Oscar.
