Working on an RH9 box. Did not use yum.
Downloaded the "dovecot-stable-latest.tar.gz". Uncompressed it, downloaded and installed gcc. Ran the following:
./configure make sudo make install
Seemed to have done its thing. I'll admit I am not well versed in using "make" or compiling anything. When I install I usually use yum on fedora machines. This one being an RH9 machine I have plugged yum into the fedora legacy project and it did not let me install dovecot via yum. So I opted for this route.
Regardless, if I run 'which dovecot' I see "/usr/local/sbin/dovecot" However now I do not seem to be able to see it run.
I get nothing when I:
rpm -qa | grep dovecot ps aux | grep dovecot service dovecot status
SO AM HAVE MISSED SOMETHING!
Is there another script I need to run? Suggestions welcome.
Thanks, George
