Plagued with an error I can't get past: ==> dovecot_info.log <== dovecot: Mar 04 22:09:06 Info: Dovecot starting up ==> dovecot.log <== dovecot-auth: Mar 04 22:09:07 Fatal: Can't open configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf: No such file or directory dovecot: Mar 04 22:09:07 Error: child 18211 (auth) returned error 89 dovecot: Mar 04 22:09:07 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down pop3-login: Mar 04 22:09:07 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe

I have dovecot (+ssl) configured on debian in a chroot with postfix+pgsql+sasl.

The file exists, and permissions look good: root@alfa:~# ls -la /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root dovecot 31 2005-03-04 20:35 /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf -> /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf root@alfa:~# ls -la /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root dovecot 2875 2005-03-01 23:38 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf

But... dovecot-auth can't see it? That's weird... root@alfa:~# strace -vffF /etc/init.d/dovecot start 1>& ~/dovecot.strace root@alfa:~# less ~/dovecot.strace [...] :/chroot [...] :/dovecot-pgsql.conf
