On zmpkg.pl start, I get error 'Your account has expired...

[kpmin]

I have zm on RH 9.0 kernel, and I installed the apache2.0.52, and PHP 5.0.2 for the so-called memory leak problem. Also, I recompiled the 2.4.20 kernel.

I installed the zm 1.19.5, and is working except for the zmpkg.pl.
I can only start from the web console clicking 'stopped' to start the zm.

I tried changing the zmpkg.pl as described in forums, but still zmpkg.pl does not work. I get the following error in /tmp/zmpkg.log when I tried both -c option and --shell option.

----------
Command: start
Executing: su apache -c '/usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl check'
Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator
su: incorrect password

Command: start
Executing: su apache --shell=/bin/sh --command='/usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl check'
Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator
su: incorrect password
-----------

I tried "usermod -s /bin/bash apache", and I also tried resetting the apache password, but it does not work.


My question is "is this related to PAM(pluggable authentication module)"?
Could you please give me some hint or guide where to look?

Thank you very much.

Try man chage and then check apache using it...

Thank you very much, lazyleopard. I finally fixed doing the following. I had this problem for long time, and also tried the 'chage' command. BUt somehow I has not been able to fix it. Now thanks to your advice again, I tried seriously again and this time it worked. This time I changed the Max Password Age and the Account Expiration Date.

I thank you again for your help.
