What can I do if I am unable to start the qmail service in Plesk?

First of all, make sure that qmail is not running.

If so, try to start it from the command line.

If that does not work take a look at the /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog logfile for helpful error messages.

Service Container on a Parallels Virtuozzo Containers hardware node can be created using ‘vzsveinstall‘ utility:

- DISTRIB_DIR - path to Virtuozzo distribution directory hierarchy on a server.
- SERVICE_CT_IP - IP address to be assigned to Service Container;

In case you have downloaded Virtuozzo distributive already (example for 64-bit PVC 4.0) as file “virtuozzo-4.0.0-${build_version}-x86_64.sfx”, please extract it in the following way:

Create Service Container then using this command (make sure old Service Container #1 does not exist):

Please refer to man page on ‘vzsveinstall‘ utility for additional information.

# Disk quota parameters (in form of softlimit:hardlimit)

# Secondary parameters
