Hi

My dovecot started with the error below. What's the most possible reason
for the error?

“2013-08-28 11:41:40 ”master: Info: Dovecot v2.2.5 starting up (core dumps
disabled)
“2013-08-28 11:42:00 ”anvil: Fatal: Error reading configuration: Timeout
reading config from /var/run/dovecot/config
“2013-08-28 11:42:00 ”master: Error: service(anvil): command startup
failed, throttling for 2 secs
“2013-08-28 11:42:00 ”ssl-params: Fatal: Error reading configuration:
Timeout reading config from /var/run/dovecot/config
“2013-08-28 11:42:00 ”master: Error: service(ssl-params): command startup
failed, throttling for 2 secs


Actually, After dovecot starts, I can telnet 110, but it takes 30seconds or
so to get through the authentication. I suspect whether the error above
cause the issue or not.


Other information:
dovecot version v2.2.5
use posfix, dovecot sasl, and mysql
