I wonder ./configure, make and make install went through, but for some reason the /usr/lib/dovecot/modules directory was not updated. Could it be because there was the old version 1.0.5 still running while installing the new one?
ouch - why are you doing such rough installs instead taking some time to learn how to build packages for your OS?
the benefit of package-systems like rpm/deb is that obsolete files are removed on updates and you have clean installs over many years and major upgrades of any software
as example for Fedora&RHEL it is quite easy to setup rpmbuild, install a recent src.rpm and replace rebuild new versions for older releases
the additional benefit is that you can do this on a dedicated virtual machine with devel-packages, GCC and so on which is all not needed on the production systems AND you can easily use this packages on testing machines followed by a crontrolled rollout
even for software with a handful of scripts -> on my servers and workstations NEVER get any software installed without a package and there are only two exceptions: VMware Workstation and ZendStudio
;-) I never ever built a rpm using sources since years. I always build and install from the sources.
So ok, made a fresh make install and found out that the directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules and its contents were not created after deleting manually the old /usr/lib/dovecot directory.
Got this snipped from the make install output:
make[4]: Leaving directory /home/mail1/dovecot-2.1.7/src/plugins/imap-stats' make[3]: Leaving directory /home/mail1/dovecot-2.1.7/src/plugins/imap-stats'
