Bug ID: 2015
Summary: Unable to start Exim Daemon using Exim in Cygwin
Product: Exim
Version: 4.86
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Unfiled
Assignee: nigel@???
Reporter: wallace.forman@???
CC: exim-dev@???
I've been unable to start the Exim daemon after installing Exim with Cygwin in
Windows 10. I've posted a question here on Superuser:
http://superuser.com/questions/1167319/cannot-start-exim-daemon-on-cygwin
I'll repost the text below:
At the end of the exim-config setup, the daemon fails with this message:
Do you want to start the exim daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
ERROR: Could not start the daemon.
INFO: The exim log files are in /var/log/exim.
WARNING: The default permissions are only suitable for a casual environment.
See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/exim-X-Y.README for how to adjust them.
When everything else fails,
read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/exim-X-Y.README,
or look up the documentation on www.exim.org.
Many happy mailings :)
The following log files exist at /var/log/exim:
$ dir -l /var/log/exim
total 4
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cyg_server Administrators 0 Jan 13 16:48 cygrunsrv_err.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cyg_server Administrators 0 Jan 13 16:48 cygrunsrv_out.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 User1 User1 1499 Jan 14 09:49 exim_main.log
The first two are empty, and the third has no relevant information.
Further attempts to start the service after running the config fail with this
message:
$ net start exim
The exim service is starting.
The exim service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
$ NET HELPMSG 3534
The service did not report an error.
The windows event viewer has this message in its application logs:
The description for Event ID 0 from source exim cannot be found. Either the
component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the
installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local
computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be
saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
exim: PID 2708: service `exim' failed: signal 6 raised
Any thoughts on what this error might be or what further diagnostics to run?
Thank you!
