Full error message:

Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by spamd: Empty error message from utility. 0: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php:19 psaerror(string "Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by spamd: Empty error message from utility.")


Try to start psa-spamassassin from the command line:


/etc/init.d/psa-spamassassin start

This error means that there is something wrong with Perl itself because it cannot find all needed modules. Make sure that all RPMs required for 'Spamassassin' are installed.

Check Perl version:

perl -v
rpm -q perl


And package integrity with the command:

rpm -V perl


Reinstall Perl RPM if versions which are shown by these commands don't match or integrity test shows any errors.
