[Dovecot] Dovecot upgrade 1 to 2 on Debian Squeeze : broken /var/run/dovecot

[Si L]

Hi,

 Looks like I've run out of time and have to roll back from version 2 to version 1 and stick with version 1.

I have dpkgs for version 1 and my orginal configuration files and think I'll have to stick with Debian Squeeze and never use Wheezy because that does not carry Dovecot 1.

Does any debian dovecot peeps know if this is all the packages I need?

dovecot-common_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-dbg_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-dev_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-imapd_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-pop3d_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
mysqmail-dovecot-logger_0.4.9-7_amd64.deb

 Scratch this because this was set in
 my dovecot.conf.....  and had not made any difference
 .... 
 Is the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf used anymore, because
 dovecot is not listening on any ports !
 
 
 I've looked on the wiki and only Basic Configuration is
 noted so I don't know if I should use:
 service imap-login {
   chroot = login
   inet_listener imap {
     address = 127.0.0.1
     port = 3993
 
 or some syntax.  Any body?
 
 Off topic, Debian does not include the documentation
 directory with its packages:
 # cd /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config
 -su: cd: /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config: No such file
 or directory
 
 
 Regards,
 S

  Hi,
  
  Just noticed 
  
  mode = 0666
  
  should be set for auth-userdb
  
  however I see its not set in my converted dovecot.conf and
  think I should set this in the conf.d/10-master.conf, but
 I
  don't know which permissions should be secure and if
 secure
  permissions, then how should postfix interact with this or
  deliver to mail stores that are owned by xxx ?

   Hi,
   
    I just upgraded from version 1 to version on Debian
  Squeeze
   using their backports.
   
   Like I expected my dovecot1 config had to be
 converted
  using
   doveconf and this I did.
   
   However, I see problems with files inside directory:
   drwxr-xr-x 4 dovenull root 4096 Feb 25 20:35
   /var/run/dovecot
   
   All of them were created owned by root:root rw.
   
   I tried to changed, for example :
   chown postfix:dovecot /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
   but noticed when I restarted dovecot it reset the
   permissions back to root:root rw.
   
   Here's the version:
   # dovecot --version
   2.1.7
   
   Here's my slightly redacted conf.
   # grep -v ^# dovecot.conf|grep -v ^$
   auth_mechanisms = plain login
   auth_verbose = yes
   dict {
     quotadict =
   mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf

   log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "

   mail_privileged_group = mail

   passdb {
     args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf

   service auth {
     unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {

     }

       mode = 0600
       user = vmail
     }
     user = root
   }
   service imap-login {
     chroot = login
     inet_listener imap {
       address = 127.0.0.1
       port = 3993
     }
     inet_listener imaps {

       port = 993
     }

   }
   
   
   I really don't understand how I should make this
 work, and
   the after I read the docs on dovecot.org and googled
 I
   realised I was really lost getting this back up and
 runing
   :(
   
   I should be really grateful if somebody would give me
 some
   advice.
   
   Thanks, 
   Soph'
