[opensuse] Suse 10.2 - postfix not started
Hi, I fresh install of 10.2 in text mode (no X at all). After the install, the only thing I did was to make online update, so the system is current. Upon boot, postfix fails, and in the mail.err lof file I see: "fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: ::1" I googled, and I found some old thread about 9.3, but it does not look like helpful, as it says to modify the inet_interfaces in main.cf. But in mine all inet_interfaces are commented out, and according to the comments this mean all interfaces will be used. The only place I see "::1" is in my /etc/hosts file, where after that are listed licalhost, my short host name, and my extended hostname (incl. the domain). I also has the 127.0.0.1 line with the same. How do I fix all this?

Did you disable IPV6 on your installation (maybe during setup of the network?) If so, then I would remove the entry in the /etc/hosts file referring to the localhost ::1 The error seems like you don't have a V6-localhost interface... so that might do it then.

I commented out all ipv6 stuff in /etc/hosts, and still the same error. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I commented out all ipv6 stuff in /etc/hosts, and still the same error. What does your inet_interfaces parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf say? (you can check with postconf -n | grep interfaces)

luciano.
Thanks Luciano, as the portconf displayed 127.0.0.1 ::1, I took a second look in main.cf, and found out that at the end of the file there were a second entry for inet_interfaces, not only in the section with the comments. I changed this, and now it loads ok, even w/o setting inet_protocols = ipv4. It is inet_protocols = all now. Anyway, thanks for the pointer. Now I wonder why it happen in the first place.

I commented out all ipv6 And be sure to have "inet_protocols = ipv4" in /etc/postfix/main.cf also.
