I have tried to installed dovecot 1.0.15 on Centos 4.6 ./configure --with-pam make make install
It got installed without error
However when I do [root@~ ]# service dovecot start dovecot: unrecognized service
When I do [root@~ ]# # locate dovecot It gives me many files...... /usr/local/sbin/dovecotpw /usr/local/sbin/dovecot /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql-example.conf /usr/local/lib/dovecot /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_convert_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib20_convert_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib20_mbox_snarf_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib10_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib20_mail_log_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib20_expire_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_convert_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib01_acl_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_mail_log_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_expire_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib11_trash_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_fts_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_mbox_snarf_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_mbox_snarf_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_mail_log_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib11_trash_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_convert_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_mail_log_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_convert_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib01_acl_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_mbox_snarf_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_mail_log_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_expire_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_trash_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_fts_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib11_trash_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib11_trash_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_mail_log_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_mbox_snarf_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_convert_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.a /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.la /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so /usr/local/libexec/dovecot /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dict /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/idxview /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/ssl-build-param /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/listview /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/convert-tool /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/logview /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply /usr/local/include/dovecot
I do not know how do I remove above file and make fresh instalation or rectify the current problem.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
