I am having some problems and was told to ask in this list to try and
get some help.
When asking elsewhere, I was told that I was too verbose, so I'll try to be as brief as possible, while still including all the pertinent info.
Slackware 13.1.0 Dovecot 2.0.8 Postfix 2.4.3 MySQL (virtual users) Spamassassin 3.3.1 ClamAV 0.97.1 (without Amavis) Have wild-card SSL certs and CA from GoDaddy
##"postconf -a"
cyrus dovecot
I compiled Dovecot without SASL support and need to re-compile it WITH SASL support, but I don't want to mess up my existing configuration. (I have it the way I want it as far as where it's installed, where the conf files are located, UID, GID settings, etc.)
Dovecot 2.0.13 is out and I would prefer to use the newer version assuming it doesn't have any problems that would prevent me from using it.
Is there a way to re-compile (or upgrade) so that it doesn't change any of my existing settings?
I would like to be able to bring it down, do upgrade, maybe copy some config files over the defaults etc, and bring it all back up within a few minutes instead of a week of tweaking and fixing stuff.
Is there a way to do something like this :
stop dovecot backup all dovecot conf files
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/openssl LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/openssl --config_dir /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or something like that..not sure what it actually is)
make sudo make install edit conf files to point to SSL certs start dovecot
IN CASE anything goes wrong, copy old config files back and restart dovecot to make it go back the way it was (only it's using the new 2.0.13 version)
any suggestions and/or tips on how-to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
