Piler application won't start

[Jared Fowkes]

This is a new installation on CentOS 7. Everything appears to be setup correctly, but I'm unable to get /usr/local/sbin/piler to continue running as it exists immediately without any output. The only output I've been able to get from the application is when I give it --help, in which case it states: ./piler: invalid option -- '-' usage: ...

I assume that the executable hasn't compiled correctly, but I did not see any errors when configuring, making, or installing the application. I do get an error when I run ./unit_tests/check_parser_utils: check_parser_utils: check_parser_utils.c:59: test_parse_date_header: Assertion `parse_date_header(date_test[i].date_str)-dst_fix == date_test[i].timestamp && "test_parse_date_header()"' failed.

Any help or direction on what to try next is greatly appreciated.

The failing unit test has nothing to do with the starting issue. Check the mail log. Piler syslogs any issues it encounters during its operation. Also check if nothing is occupying port port 25.

Awesome. I looked everywhere for a log, but didn't think about the maillog. The issue was that it couldn't bind to the port. I found that postfix was running and have since disabled it and now the piler services is running. Thank you!

You are welcome.
