Fatal:the Postfix mail system is already running solution

【Problem Situations】

When you start the Postfix service, you receive the following error message:

# service Postfix start 
starting postfix Mail transport agent:postfixpostfix/postfix-script: 
fatal:the postfix Mail system is already running 
failed!

In addition, the status report for Postfix Postfix is not running.

# service Postfix status 
Postfix is not running.

【Cause of the problem】

Maybe it's postfix. The last time you forced the shutdown, you did not delete the lock itself. Lock exists at startup and cannot be run.

【Solution】

The 1.Postfix master PID file (that is, the lock) also exists under the/var/spool/postfix/pid directory. Enter the directory to delete the file:

# cd/var/spool/postfix/pid # 
ls 
master.pid 
# RM Master.pid

2. Start the Postfix service after deleting the Master.pid file.

# service Postfix start 
starting postfix Mail transport Agent:postfix
