#13 Daemon crashes and mail sending problems with default address

[Kent R. Nilsen]

Hello,

After upgrading to the latest release (1.0.4) the daemon won't run properly. The following message is displayed on the site:
"The CrashFix background service (daemon) seems to be inactive or not responding. Some features will be disabled."

On the server, I only get error messages in the monitor.log file:
Sending an E-mail to webmaster xx@yy.com
Email sending error (SMTP client error 303): Server returned error after sending DATA.
SMTP server response: 504 5.5.2 noreply@localhost: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address

Is there a way to change the default sender address?

And these repeat in the same log every minute:
Unexpected event: daemon process has exited with code = 1
Restarting the daemon.

I've just upgraded to Apache 2.2.31 and PHP 5.4.45 on this server.

Any clues on what crashes the daemon?

Best regards,
krn

You can change the SMTP parameters by editing the config file. The file is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\CrashFix\conf\crashfixd.conf (in Windows) or /etc/crashfix/crashfixd.conf (in Linux).

To diagnose the reason why the daemon is not starting, try to run it manually by typing the following from the command line:

crashfixd --start -c "<path_to_config>"</path_to_config>

Sigh.. just as I typed the previous reply, I thought to remove the ""s around the web_root_dir path. And suddenly the daemon is running fine, and is pollable from the webside. Case closed

And, while writing, I suddenly got an email from the system. So, it's working :)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
