Services Issue : "services"dead but subsys locked [SOLVED]

[taliez]

CentOS doesn't support webmin.
Webmin may be installing and starting software behind CentOS's back.
You need to go to them for support now that their software is configuring your server.

thanks for the replies, ill update you guys soon
discussing this internally (dev,app team)

planning to have a clean install

thanks in advance

seems samba has issues?

[taliez]

UPDATE : Issue SOLVED


thanks to this link :https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cg ... &id=832732

solution was COMMENT 2

Fred Wells 2012-06-18 00:07:21 EDT
Resolved. I believe this may have occurred as a result of me initially installing samba4, then removing that and installing samba. The error I received in debug indicated invalid tdb version.

Steps to resolve:
- yum remove samba samba-common
- rm -rf /var/lib/samba
- yum install samba
