Dear Marc. Thanks =) Already have dovecot-solr installed. Is there a way to see if dovecot-solr is actually working?

Thanks Kevin

Hello,

...

I need to recompile dovecot on ubuntu 14.04 What would be the easiest way to do this?

I am trying to follow this tutorial:- https://blog.vbonhomme.fr/add-full-text-search-fts-to-your- dovecot-using-solr-4-10-on-ubuntu-14-04/

Yes, there is a much, much faster way:

apt-get install dovecot-solr

14.04 LTS already provides a nifty binary package for it, no need to compile it yourself. The blogger should have done his home work better.

Regards, Marc

Dear Marc, Noted. I just found out on iRedmail the plugins need to be specified in dovecot.conf instead of dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf . Making the changes now. Hopefully it should work. Will check out the testing page. Thanks Kevin

Yes.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr - look there at "Testing."

Use a mailbox for it with at least some megabytes of data. If you don't see then upgrade notices, it it not working yet.

The notices may look like this:

• OK Indexed 11% of the mailbox, ETA 1:12
• OK Indexed 30% of the mailbox, ETA 1:07
• OK Indexed 49% of the mailbox, ETA 0:52
• OK Indexed 61% of the mailbox, ETA 0:43
• OK Indexed 80% of the mailbox, ETA 0:22
• OK Mailbox indexing finished
• SEARCH 857 1486 1526 1544 1589 1590 1591 1608 1737 1753 2660 2864 3967 4124 4127 4129 4159 4235 4254 4273 4682 4683 4684 4685 4770 5132 5467 5470 5735 5788 5838 5903 5904 5905 5906 5907 5996 6024 6113 6144 1 OK Search completed (114.650 secs)

If you don't see those, enable debugging in dovecot.conf and then you need to further investigate on where there's the problem.

Dear Steffen, Variant 2 does look more challenging but I don't think its necessary if dovecot-solr is already available and installed. I guess the problem is with something else. Thanks Kevin

Any faster means? Also cant get dpkg-dev installed on my system.

Well, this is the Debian way, so why would dpkg-dev balk at installation? On Debian based machines, this should be the easiest way ;-)

=====

variant 2) Pull the sources from dovecot.org via tarball or mercurial. If you need Sieve and other plugins, I would not call this variant easier.

Then you have to option to

2a) try to apply the configuration from the Debian package to the source, in order to have a replacement for the original package, or

2b) create a new configuration from scratch with help from the Debian package, but to install into /usr/local or /opt.
