Hi all, I am running Centos 5 and Virtualmin Pro 3.65, recently upgraded from 3.64
When I create a new virtual server, the setup hangs at "Setting up secondary mail servers"
I get this
209.20.x.x : virtual-server::setup_secondary_mx failed : Failed to lock file /etc/postfix/virtual after 5 minutes at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 1010.
Secondary mail server is working fine. However when I select 'Addresses and Networking > Secondary Mail Servers > Save, and add existing domains to new secondaries' - this has no effect and does not add the records to DNS.
I have tried deleting 0 byte .lock files from /etc. I've restarted webmain, postfix to no avail.
Any ideas?

Hey there Steven,
So, if you were to log in over SSH, and type:
ls -a /etc/postfix/
Do any .lock files show up in there (I know you said you deleted them from /etc/, just trying to verify /etc/postfix as well ;-)
If so, what I'd recommend is:
* Stop Webmin (/etc/init.d/webmin stop)
* Remove the .lock file in /etc/postfix
* Restart Webmin (/etc/init.d/webmin start)
Does that by chance do the trick?

Hi Andrey
Yes, there was a virtual.lock file on both systems which I have deleted.
Another .lock file - bcc.lock on the other system (which is the secondary mail server) was also removed.
Having done this appears to have fixed the issues.
Thank you so much!
