I tried with removing the base_dir definition from my config, restartet dovecot and checked with the commands you provided below: << root@nordkap:~# doveconf -d base_dir base_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot root@nordkap:~# doveconf base_dir base_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot root@nordkap:~# su vmail -s /bin/sh -c "doveconf base_dir" base_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot
for me it seems that all is build with /usr/local
OK, that's odd. I was wondering if you had some permission problem which was stopping the lda from reading the config file, but apparently not.
But after removing the symlink and restarting dovecot I get the errors again << May 7 17:47:57 nordkap dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: No such file or directory May 7 17:47:57 nordkap dovecot: lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
Are you sure you're running the right copy of dovecot-lda? I think you mentioned xthread that you have a Debian-provided version installed as well?
