Robin,

Do you know if we can use this procedure to upgrade some systems directly from 2.x?

Thanks.

Jeff

I've updated 2.6 to 3.0 successfully with the same procedure couple of months ago.


Here will you find some important notes for upgrading from 2.x to 3.x. (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.0/UPGRADE)

But I had to rebuild the Bayes Database with:

sa-learn --rebuild &
sa-learn --sync

Thanks!

Hello,

What about pod2man ?

I got this error at "perl Makefile.PL" step, saying that pod2man can't be found, but it exists actually:


[root@XXXXX Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4]# perl Makefile.PL
What email address or URL should be used in the suspected-spam report
text for users who want more information on your filter installation?
(In particular, ISPs should change this to a local Postmaster contact)
default text: [the administrator of that system] support@kamino.eu.com

Check network rules during 'make test' (test scripts may fail due to
network problems)? (y/n) [n] y

Looks good

Can we ignore this ?

Best Regards,

Which OS are you running?
Maybe you can try the fix from: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Pod2ManRedHat?highlight=%28pod2man%29

[kamino]

Yes it is redhat 9.
I will try as suggested in the link right now.

Thanks,

[kamino]

LANG=C perl Makefile.PL works fine for me.

Thanks a million robin ;)

I've updated 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 successfully.
on RH Enterprise.

Just:

wget http://apache.ipv4networks.com/spamassassin/source/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz

tar -zxvf Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz
cd Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4
LANG=C perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

[Titam]

Any problem for FC3 ?

[netbit]

When a try to update from version 3.0.2 to 3.0.4, the make show this error:

/usr/bin/perl spamc/configure.pl --prefix="/usr" --sysconfdir="/etc/mail/spamassassin" --datadir="/usr/share/spamassassin" --enable-ssl="no"
cd spamc
/usr/bin/perl version.h.pl
version.h.pl: creating version.h
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/mail/spamassassin --datadir=/usr/share/spamassassin --enable-ssl=no
Can't exec "./configure": Permission denied at spamc/configure.pl line 82.
make: *** [spamc/Makefile] Error 127


Can anybody help me?

Im trying to update as root in a FC3 box.

[Wouter]

Try updating using the following method:

# vi /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/spamd.sh

Edit the version number at the top of the file to 3.0.4 and exit and save.

# /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/spamd.sh

That should be working :)

Does this upgrade address any of the issues we saw from this thread:
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=8116&perpage=20&pagenumber=1
I'd like to get spamassassin up and running again but can't risk our clients losing email because of spamassassin going beserk again.....
