[Dovecot] base_dir= problems
Hi
I first let base_dir = with it's default value of /var/dovecot. I changed my mind and now I have
doveconf -n
2.1.17: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
OS: OpenBSD 5.4 amd64 ffs
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
After a few days, imap clients couldn't login. Here the problem
Dec 04 17:03:16 imap-login: Fatal: Corrupted SSL parameters file: /var/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat Dec 04 17:03:16 imap-login: Fatal: Corrupted SSL parameters file: /var/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat Dec 04 17:03:16 master: Error: mkdir(/var/dovecot) failed: Read-only file system Dec 04 17:03:16 master: Error: safe_mkstemp(/var/dovecot/mounts.tmp.) failed: No such file or directory Dec 04 17:03:16 master: Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/dovecot/instances) failed: No such file or directory Dec 04 17:03:16 ssl-params: Fatal: creat(/var/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp) failed: No such file or directory
By-pass
ln -s /var/run/dovecot /var/dovecot
Strange ?

You still have state_dir=/var/dovecot (and don’t place it under /var/run/, it’s meant to be durable).

doveconf -a | grep state_dir
gives nothing.
Adding state_dir = /var/run/dovecot to dovecot.conf gives
doveconf -n -c dstate
2.1.17: dstate
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file dstate line 116: Unknown setting: state_dir
What to do ?

Ah, it’s configurable only in v2.2. In v2.1 it can only be changed by recompiling with configure --localstatedir=/somewhere
