[Dovecot] Dovecot will not start, error in stat(/var/run/dovecot)

[Frank Collette IV]

Error: stat(/var/run/dovecot) failed: Invalid argument
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf


Can someone please help me resolve this issue?  I'm willing to pay if
required to get this back up!  I've been down since 11PM Saturday.

Thanks, Frank
