I have had to rebuild my 64-bit CentOS 5 email server and after installing dovecot rpms (using yum) I seem to have multiple versions installed:
dovecot-1.1.20-1_98.el5 - from ATrpms repo dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 - from CentOS repo dovecot-sieve-0.1.18-6.1.el5 - from ATrpms repo
Backup conf files and /etc/init.d/dovecot start script.
Unninstall all, maybe there are dependencies problems between packages from those repos.
I have tried to install just the ATrpms version but when I do "yum install dovecot" the CentOS one always gets pulled in as well. Is this normal, or does it indicate that something has gone wrong in the installation process?
download the source for the version you want:
wget http://www.dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.16.tar.gz wget http://www.dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.1.8.tar.gz
You have to install devel packages similar to:
libpq-devel libpam0g-devel libldap2-devel libnss3-devel libmysqlclient-devel libsqlite3-devel
I recommend this compile options (rules) from Debian packages for version 1.1 or 1.2:
./configure
--with-ioloop=best
--with-notify=inotify
--with-nss
--with-shadow
--with-pam
--with-ldap=yes
--with-sql=yes
--with-pgsql
--with-mysql
--with-sqlite
--with-ssl=openssl
--sysconfdir=/etc
--prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc
--libexecdir=/usr/lib
--localstatedir=/var
--mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info
--with-moduledir=/usr/lib/dovecot/modules
--disable-rpath
--disable-static
Then:
make && make install
I'm having an issue with Dovecot sieve because it can't find a sieve plugin in /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/. However, there is one in /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/. Do I have some sort or 32-bit/64-bit mismatch?
This is because if you build rpms from source the installation path are different in fedorized packages.
