[Dovecot] dovecot upgrade problems

[Cieslak, Andreas]

Hi list,

i made an upgrade from dovecot 1.0RC15 to 1.1.20

the default installation was under /etc/dovecot.
The upgrade installation was made under /usr/local/etc.

After that i changed all the paths in the /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
and the dovecot-binary to work with the new installation.
Even path-changes were made for /etc/init.d/dovecot to work with the
version 1.1.20.

Changes in the /etc/init.d/dovecot:
####
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/dovecot
NAME=dovecot
DESC="mail server"

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

# The init script should do nothing if dovecot is being run from inetd
for p in `sed -r "s/^ *(([^:]+|\[[^]]+]|\*):)?(pop3s?|imaps?)[
\t].*/\3/;t;d" \
  /etc/inetd.conf`
do
  for q in `sed -r "s/^ *protocols[ \t]*=[
\t]*(([^\"]*)|\"(.*)\")/\2\3/;t;d" \
    /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf`
  do
    if [ $p = $q ]; then
      exit 0
    fi
  done
done

case "$1" in
  start)
    if grep protocols /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf | sed 's/#.*$//' | tr
-d '"' | \
    egrep -q '[^#]*(\bpop3s?\b|\bimaps?\b)';
    then
      if [ -x /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login -a -x
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap ] \
        || [ -x /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login -a -x
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 ]
####
If I leave the DAEMON-Path to =/usr/sbin/dovecot

Dovecot is running fine!!!



The only thing which is missing under /usr/local is the auth-master
file.

Under /var/run/dovecot the old auth-master file exists. Why not under
the upgrade path?


Anyway, here is the logging when i try to start dovecot:


Apr  6 16:18:37 server dovecot: dovecot v1.1.20 starting up (core dumps
disabled)
Apr  6 16:18:37 server dovecot: Fatal: auth(default): Dovecot version

care, set version_ignore=yes)

###auth-master is not existing under the path
/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master. Is this the fault?


Can anyone help me out?
