I think this was causing cyrus-master to step on the toes of the other instance. Everything seems to be working now. And for my own benefit, I created a copy of the cyrus-master executive for use with my second instance as it makes the init script and monitoring simpler. I would still appreciate some direction with someone that has more experience with running multiple instances (or installs) of cyrus on the same machine. --Blake ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
