1 Compilation
1.1 Some of the files have the wrong names.
(MacOS X)
This occurs when you use
Stuffit Expander to extract the source code. Insted, make sure to extract the archive with either
OpenUp or from the terminal with the following command:
% tar -zxvf GNUMail-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
2 Download
2.1 All files I downloaded are named
download.cgi or
mirror.cgi.
(MacOS X)
Some browsers have problems with our CGI scripts (or is it the opposite? ;). You have two solutions:
- You use Netscape/Mozilla or Internet Explorer to download the releases or
- You rename the file with the proper extension (either
.tar.gz or .dmg)
3 Runtime
3.1 I can't login and there is no error message.
(Linux)
Make sure the session files directory specified in your configuration file (/etc/spamity.conf) exists and is executable and writable by the user running the web server. This issue was fixed in version 0.9.0.
3.2 Spamityd dies with a
panic: malloc message.
(Linux)
This can happen after processing large log files with older version of the Perl modules DBI and DBD::Pg. Using earlier versions of these modules solve the problem (DBI >= v1.50 and DBD::Pg >= 1.49).
3.3 When I login to Spamity as an administrator, there is an inconsistent number of messages presented on the page
most spammed addresses for the last 24 hours and the search results I obtain when I click on of the linked email address.
(Linux)
The top 20 of the most spammed addresses for the last 24 hours is computed for the very last 24 hours, while the search engine computes the results for the current day.
