I'm attempting to replace a failing Plesk/DrWeb/qmail installation with a fresh, clean netqmail install. After backing up all the Plesk-installed qmail stuff (this is a live server, I'm afraid) I've gotten started on the install.

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".

Is that "controls" a typo?



No, that's cut and pasted from the screen.
