Hi,
I'm migrating an existing dovecot (1. series) to new hardware. The new dovecot is a 2. series. I copied the old config and did a doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > dovecot-2.conf Then I moved the dovecot-2.conf to dovecot.conf and restarted dovecot. When Postfix tries to deliver a message I get this error :
2013-09-16 11:00:10 auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) in directory /run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=65534(nobody) egid=65534(nogroup) missing +r perm: /run/dovecot/auth-worker, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) 2013-09-16 11:00:10 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling
I tried different things with /run/dovecot/auth-worker, but the error remains. I tried to chmod 777 the socket, I chown-ed to dovecot:dovecot, vmail:vmail.
What am I missing ? AFAIK the sql-tables are OK.
Thanks.
