Hi,
sorry - I did forget to include this in my original email. I saw the comment
in the FAQ about removing the db files.
This did not help...
btw: the box is a 100% vanilla installation. The only thing compiled on there
before compiling exim, was openldap. nothing else...
However, I did try this again now:
As stated before, I was now running exim 4.10 without any problems. a retry db
had been created automatically which currently has 2 entries.
I downloaded, extracted and compiled 4.12 again. make install, and started
exim, sent a message and: hurray, it worked!
However, removing the retry db file, and restarting exim would end up with the
same "failed to open DB" error again....
when I copied the retry db created by 4.10 back into the db diretory
everything worked again...
exim 4.12 would only create 2 empty files: retry and retry.lockfile (both 0 in
size)
to me, it seems as if there is a problem in 4.12 creating new db files...
I have attached 2 outputs created with "exim -d+all-memory -M <msg id>" one
created while a retry db existed, another one without a db existing.
ldd returns:
bash-2.05b# ldd /usr/local/exim/bin/exim-4.12-1
/usr/local/exim/bin/exim-4.12-1:
libcrypt.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 (0x280de000)
libldap.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libldap.so.2 (0x280f7000)
liblber.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/liblber.so.2 (0x2811b000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28124000)
libssl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.2 (0x281bd000)
libcrypto.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2 (0x281ea000)
for 4-10 it returns the same.
don't know if this helps.
Regards,
Philipp
