[Dovecot] 1.0beta8 won't start: Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once
Greetings -
I've just built Dovecot 1.0beta8 and find it refuses to start. This under Solaris 10 on an Intel-based Sun system. The error message Dovecot displays (on standard error) in response to /usr/local/sbin/dovecot is Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once
I've checked through my configuration file and the only mention of "imaps" is here:
# Protocols we want to be serving:
# imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = imap imapsThe same settings file worked OK with 1.0beta7. I've also tried using the standard dovecot-example.conf that comes with 1.0beta8 which has the "protocols" line commented out and, after adding appropriate settings for "ssl_cert_file" and "ssl_key_file", still have the same problem.
I popped a few dubugging i_info() calls into src/master/main.c to try and see what was going on and the output was as follows:
Info: set->protocols = >imap imaps<
Info: imap: *fd = -1
Info: imaps: *fd = 0
Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than onceThe first line is displaying the value of the keywords in set->protocols
The second and third are within the if/then/else sequence: the first for the "imap" keyword and the second for the "imaps" keyword.
Then comes the fatal error, caused by the "fd" variable not being equal to -1 (it is "0" for "imaps") above.
Changing the dovecot.conf file to read protocols = imap lets Dovecot start up OK. Changing it to protcols = imaps causes it to fail in the same way as before(!).
Seems to be a problem with the initialisation of set->ssl_listen_fd therefore, as this should apparently be -1? Is this likely to be something I've got wrong (wouldn't have thought so as 1.0beta7 is happy with the same config file) or is there a problem in 1.0beta8?

Looks like my problem may lie in src/master/main.c here:
#ifdef HAVE_SSL set->ssl_listen_port = set->protocol == MAIL_PROTOCOL_IMAP ? 993 : 995; #else set->ssl_listen_port = 0; #endif
Yet HAVE_SSL is definitely defined in config.h -- I've just checked yet again!
If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful, otherwise I'll pursue it further after lunch.

OK, I guess you didn't compile with C99-compatible C compiler. The problem is that Dovecot fallbacks to old way of initializing structs, and looks like I've been lazy and not keeping them working properly.
Attached patch should fix it.

If it's any help I'm using a quite up to date copy of Sun's WSpro C compiler (don't know if there's a more up to date product name: they change it every now and then)...

I then applied your patch and rebuilt Dovecot *without* the "-xc99" compiler option ... and that, too, works fine.
Many thanks!

Timo, Mike,
I wonder if this has something to do with the occasional crashing problem I'm observing on Solaris?... I am using
# /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -V cc: Sun C 5.7 Patch 117837-04 2005/05/11
I'll give this a try later today.

Timo,
I installed beta8 plus your patch on Solaris 10 sparc, and it seems to be working so far...
