Error Message #1)

You deleted openwebmail RPM package by issuing 'rpm -e openwebmail'
and you removed the entire openwebmail directory from /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

Then, installed a fresh new openwebmail RPM package and tried to login to your
existing openwebmail account but your're getting following error.

ERROR:

Mail Filter Error (/home/tchung/.openwebmail/webmail/filter.book dbm open error)

SOLUTION:

# cd /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail
# ./openwebmail-tool.pl --init

Please change './etc/dbm.conf' from
 
dbm_ext                 .db
dbmopen_ext             none
dbmopen_haslock         no
 
to
 
dbm_ext                 .db
dbmopen_ext             .db
dbmopen_haslock         yes
 
 
And execute './openwebmail-tool.pl --init' again!
 
ps: If you are running openwebmail in persistent mode,
    don't forget to 'touch openwebmail*.pl', so speedycgi
    will reload all scripts, modules and conf files in --init.

# vi etc/dbm.conf

dbm_ext                 .db
dbmopen_ext             .db
dbmopen_haslock         yes

:wq (save and quit)

# ./openwebmail-tool.pl --init
