[Dovecot] failed to start
Hello,
i saw you posted on dovecot.org and was hoping you could assist with a problem i have with dovecot.
I installed the attached file to webmin and clicked it said it installed correctly: Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server in /usr/libexec/webmin/dovecot (372 kB) under category Servers
I clicked the link and then clicked "Start Dovecot Server" from the webmin panel and got this error:
Failed to start Dovecot :
I assume this means a file is missing. My config file looks like this:
dovecot=/usr/sbin/dovecot dovecot_config=/etc/dovecot.conf init_script=dovecot pid_file=/var/run/dovecot/master.pid
There doesn't appear to be a dovecot directory in:
etc/rc.d/init.d/
Perhaps that's the issue?
I'm running Redhat Linux 4. Can you assist in any way? Any help is most appreciated. Thanks,
Don

My guess would be that you don't have Dovecot installed.

This is entirely an issue with Red Hat; specifically that you don't understand how to use the OS. Not wishing to provoke a distro flame war, I still wonder: why ask Red Hat support questions on project mailing lists? I see this a lot, not just here.
You paid for Red Hat support. Why not use it? If the support is good, they will fix you up in no time. If they're not so good, why did you pay for it?
No, I have nothing against Red Hat. I wish them much success.

It appears all you did was install the webmin module for Dovecot.
The application itself is a totally separate program, which you have to install yourself, usually with the package manager that your distro uses.
I clicked the link and then clicked "Start Dovecot Server" from the webmin panel and got this error:
