CentOS release 6.5

installed on a VM following these instructions https://extremeshok.com/5381/rhel-centos-redhat-mailpiler-sphinx-mariadb-mysql/#comment-77385

Had a few issues during the install including the segfault issue which were resolved, but now I can't get piler to load.

If it's a new install, then you should get the latest master branch. It has several improvements over 0.1.24. Anyway if you want to keep it, it's ok for me. If piler can't bind, then something has occupied port 25, usually exim or postfix. You should either fix the mta config or piler, so they won't listen on the same ip:port.

Running netstat -lnp shows piler attached to port 25.

changing the port did allow it to load, still showed both ports attached to piler

rebooted, port 25 was now inactive, changed the port back to 25, and it loads

This was after I upgraded to the lastest version.
