    I tried to search over the internet but didn't find a solution. Any idea?

    seems as if ispconfig can not connect to dovecot. please check if you have dovecot or courier imap running at the moment.

    It might be that you have dovecot and courier installed which confused the ispconfig installer.

    Please post the output of:

    which dovecot

    [root@wessam ~]# which dovecot
    /usr/bin/which: no dovecot in (/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

    I can provide any other configuration files or logs if needed. Just let me know if there anything that would help here. This is a test environment to check if ispconfig is a good Control Panel that we can relay on. I can do any changes if needed.

    Please post your postfix main.cf file.

    The main.cf contains lines for dovecot, so there must have been dovecot installed at the time the ispconfig installer was run as it checks for the existence of dovecot with "which dovecot". Maybe you switched to courer later?

    To fix that, please run:

    cd /tmp
    wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
    tar xvfz ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
    cd ispconfig3_install/install
    php -q update.php

    and choose yes when the updater asks if services hall be reconfigured.

    Btw, why do you test ispconfig on such a old Linux version and not centos 7 or at least 6.5? The recommended distribution for ispconfig is debian btw.

    Thanks Till for your reply. I did php -q update.php but problem persists. The same error appeared and I am not able to send any mails. Also I noticed that main.cf still has some dovecot lines after the update.

    I didn't know that the recommended distribution is Debian. That might be a problem here as we are planing to use Centos.

    Try to comment out the dovecot lines from main.cf and restart postfixm especially the sasl related ones.

    Which tutorial did you use to prepare the server for the ispconfig install?

    Centos works as well. Its just more expensive on the admin side as yum tends to break config files during system updates while apt from debian will leave them intact.

    And if you wont to use centos, why ont you use a recent version? centos 6.2 is from 2011.

    Thanks Till for your help. I tried to comment those lines and restart the service but problem persists. I rebooted the server but the same issue. I will try to install it on another Centos 7 server.

    By the way, I followed link below for the installation.

    Yes, that will be better. All current guides use dovecot.
