Hello Guy,
Guy, 10.08.2008 (d.m.y):
I have what I'm sure is a stupid question. I'm trying to install Dovecot 1.1.2 from source and my command sequence is this: cd dovecot-1.1.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --with-mysql --with-storagesmaildir --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot make make install cd ../dovecot-sieve-1.1.5 ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.1.2 make make install
I don't get any errors during either install
OK, but you do "make install" as root, don't you?
I've done the odd config on dovecot to try and keep it as close to the install dirs used by the Dovecot package included with Ubuntu. Once it's done, dovecot -n still looks in /usr/local/etc and when I try and start dovecot it looks for the libexec dir in /usr/local instead of /usr. Is there something I'm missing on the configure?
Please check what you $PATH variable looks like and if there exists another dovecot in /usr/local/sbin (which maybe is mentioned in your $PATH before /usr/sbin). Or just call /usr/sbin dovecot -n.
Gruss/Regards, Christian Schmidt
