[Bug 304071] [NEW] prayer doesn't start due to missing directory

[Rich Ingram]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: prayer

Hello:

Prayer doesn't start up automatically after a reboot.  It appears to be
because there is no /var/run/prayer directory.  Here's what I do
manually to fix the problem:

rich at toaster:~$ 
rich at toaster:~$ 
rich at toaster:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/prayer start
 * Starting webmail server prayer                                                                                                   prayer PANICLOG:
  Failed to open panic log file: "paniclog"
