Can't start any service after installing iRedMail on CentOS

  • 772

I have attempted to install iRedMail on one of my servers. After reboot, I can't start any service anymore.

[root@mx ~]# systemctl start httpd

** (pkttyagent:16323): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files

[root@mx ~]#

Does anyone know how to get this sorted out?

Update Re-installing and starting polkit gave me this:

[root@mx ~]# systemctl start polkit
Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Exhausted all available authentication mechanisms (tried: EXTERNAL, DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, ANONYMOUS) (available: EXTERNAL, DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, ANONYMOUS) (g-io-error-quark, 0)
Job for polkit.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status polkit.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

  1. This kind of looks like something important got removed with the package installation. the errors relate to policy kit. Can you confirm that polkit and dbus are both still installed? rpm -qi dbusand rpm -qi polkit

    logs may also contain information but seems here a policy is preventing the start of these services due to dbus not responding...because dbus is not installed or the policy kit is not responding via dbus.

    Also possible SElinux is responsible...you can disable to test by editing: /etc/sysconfig/selinux then logging out and back in.

    If you find that selinux is responsible policies can be displayed with: getsebool -a | grep disable.*on and set like: setsebool httpd_disable_trans 1
