Dovecot problem

Fresh install of ispconfig 3 on centos 5.5, i followed the 64bit perfect server, but the machine is actually 32 bit.

I installed ispconfig, but dovecot was screwed up cause it didnt install properly.

I have since removed the old dovecot and added...

rpm -ivh http://wolfcastle.wu-wien.ac.at/dist/rhel5-i386/RPMS.at-testing/dovecot-1.2.13-1_111.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh http://wolfcastle.wu-wien.ac.at/dist/rhel5-i386/RPMS.at-testing/dovecot-sieve-0.1.17-5.el5.i386.rpm

and restarted dovecot

[root@server32 tmp]# telnet localhost 143

dovecot seems to have an OK mysql connection in dovecot-sql.conf using the details i can login, and going into the database and select * from mail_user shows me the test user and encrypted password for the user. Also their maildir exists ok and seems to have a few autogenerated files in.

Run out of ideas to debug now, can anybody help?

 

Hi Till,

Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled ispconfig, installed ipsconfig 3 (old version oops!) then upgraded whist resetting the configs as suggested.

That seemed to fix the error and its now working well.
