2. and create the symbolic link to
ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6
ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6

3. when I try to run, I got this error. any idea? Thanks

[root@gyan /homedir/xqmagent]$ ./xqmagent

ERROR:
socket.error (99, 'Cannot assign requested address')


I have export MailRoot too

[atomant]

Did you enetr a non occupied port in xqmagent.conf?

[waichoi]

Sorry that what you mean by "non-occupied Port"?? I cannot find this in my xqmagent.conf


Here is the original xqmagent.conf


# This file goes to /etc/xqmagent.conf

FORCE_MAILROOT = /var/MailRoot

What is says when you run ./xqmagent -debug?

[waichoi]

[root@gyan /homedir/xqmagent]$ ./xqmagent --debug

ERROR:
socket.error (99, 'Cannot assign requested address')

[atomant]

Are you sure about your AGENT_HOST ipaddress and port?
Maybe there is a problem.

[waichoi]

I throught the Port 8001 is default (like 6017 for xmail which I dont need to change.) What you recommend for this port?

But I think the problem is I cannot start the xqmagent. Not the conflic issue?

[atomant]

It doesn't matter the port as long as no other service is using it. What about IP number of AGENT_HOST ?

[waichoi]

the one I am curetnly use to sufer internet.


Sicne the xmailserver in in Datacenter which is away from me

# Listen to which IP?
# Use IP or hostname for AGENT_HOST
AGENT_HOST = 202.146.98.179

[atomant]

Where do you have xqmagent istalled on? Is it on the same machine as xmail server?

[waichoi]

YES


I install agent in the same machine with xmailserver.

I install manager in the PC that I am currently using

[atomant]

Ok, so how many NIC's has your xmail server?
Check also if you have enabled CtrlClnt ip and port on Xmail (telnet ipnumber 6017).

[hschneider]

192.168.0.111 and port 8001 are just example addresses. You need to enter your machine's IP there. Also make sure that you edit TRUSTED_CLIENTS for your needs.

[waichoi]

I have put the CLIENT (The computer I am using now. NOT xmail server) IP as follow.

# Listen to which IP?
# Use IP or hostname for AGENT_HOST
AGENT_HOST = 202.146.98.179



Also, which port I should use? I thought thats like a default port just like 6107 in xmail. Please recommend. Thanks

# Listen to which port?
AGENT_PORT = 8001

[atomant]

Not client IP, you need to enter IP from the machine you have installed xqmagent on and in your case this is xmail server.
