[Dovecot] Compiling dovecot on SuSE 9
Again I am asking for some help to compile and configure dovecot on SuSE 9.
I have configured and compiled it as per the instructions and no errors or problems. When I try to run dovecot from the command line it does not complain or give me any errors. The daemon starts and dies almost immediately.
Do I need to compile differently? What can I do to see what is the problem. I was asked to run strace but I don't know what it is telling me.
Thanks

you did everything right so far. the problem is that dovecot comes with SSL enabled by default but there is no cert for it. go to $SRCDIR/doc/ edit mkcert.sh (change imapd.pem to dovecot.pem) run it. restart dovecot and everything will be fine.
but you need a dovecot pam file. i use the file from [1].

the solution would be:
strace -e trace=file dovecot
you would see a file not found error at the end of the log.

you can find the patch for mkcert.sh + dovecot.pam + init script there. and of course the rpm when it's done.

Doesn't the error message get written to log file as well? If not, I'll have to fix it.

timo it wasnt in earlier versions. but for 0.99.10.4 it reports the missing ssl cert to the stderr of the current console. but no messages in the log.
and why did you enabled pgsql auth as default in the dovecot-example.conf? it took me 10 min to find out why it was whining about the conf. ;)
and would it possible to modify the paths in the example config according to the sysconfdir?

i added dovecot-0.99.10.4-1.i586.rpm today.
