I've gotten pretty well through the lifewithqmail install instructions, but I've got a problem. When I try to start qmail via /var/qmail/rc I get a message reading "alert: cannot start: unable to read controls".

Try the script "inst_check", from Life With Qmail - that should find the problem. It's available here: http://lifewithqmail.org/inst_check
