10-ssl.conf: Unknown setting: ssl / debian 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u

[S. Kremer]

Hi Sophie

did you try the following steps?

1. rename /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf to
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf.bak
2. copy /usr/share/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf to /etc/dovecot/conf.d/
3. restart dovecot

what happens? start dovecot normally?

if so

make a new cert with /usr/share/dovecot/mkcert.sh

and do changes in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf

ssl = yes
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem

then restart dovecot. What happens now?


Best regards
Stefan
