[Dovecot] sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot start doesn't work
I've been trying to get dovecot working with postfix with virtual domain setting. I noticed that if I started dovecot with "sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot", everything would work fine. But if I started with "sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot start", I would get the following permission error. I checked "ps -ef | grep dovecot" and didn't find anything different.

Here's the directory for storing virtual domain email.

Is it possible that dovecot came with your system and you have actually two dovocots on your system. Then each one of them is using different config file and thats why its working and not working depending on which one you start.

I've checked. There's only one installation on my fedora core 4 and I'm using the 0.99.14.

Most likely SELinux problem. Turn it off or fix its configuration.
The problem went away after I upgraded to 1.0alpha3.... strange but at least it's all working.
