I just installed the newest version from sourceforge as of today, and set up a new site with 1 email account. I restarted the box and when it came back up, I can't get to mydomain.com:81 or mydomain.com for that matter. ps aux | grep httpd shows a bunch of httpd processes, so apache must be started. Anyone have this problem before?
OK, I fixed that problem, now heres the real question I was going to ask. As I said I created one site with one email address. When I try to log into POP3 using username web1_jeffm and the password I set, it always says Authentication failed. I tried with SSL, TLS, TLS (if available) and No Encryption. Always the same error message. What do I need to do to be able to get to my email account?
Please make sure that you enabled maildir in ISPConfig under management > server > settings if you use courier or divecot as pop3 / imap server.
Yeah I already did that. I see in /var/log/maillog that the incoming mails are being delivered to the maildir, and I see them in the user's maildir too. I can also send emails using the same login/password I am using to try and download messages from POP3. I just can't authenticate to POP now.
which pop3 daemon do you have installed? Aldo, do you use the correct usernam? The username has the format web[ID]_username and is not identical with the email address.
I thought I was using courier, but it seems like I have courier-authlib running as well as dovecot. Code: $ ps aux | grep courier root 1658 0.0 0.0 1552 300 ?

a) Did you follow one of the perfect setup guides? b) Is the username web1_jeffm listed in /etc/passwd? Also Dovecot must be configured to authenticate against /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow either directly or via PAM.
I did follow a perfect setup guide, but it was a while ago. in /etc/dovecot.conf I have this setup now: Code: valid_chroot_dirs = /var/www/web1/user default_mail_env = maildir:/var/www/web1/user/%n auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/shadow auth_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes and now I get this error in /var/log/dovecot every time I try to connect to imap, and it won't let me connect: Code: dovecot: Jul 09 09:07:56 Error: child 4498 (auth) killed with signal 11 dovecot-auth: Jul 09 09:07:57 Error: User root has UID 0 in password file /etc/passwd dovecot-auth: Jul 09 09:07:57 Error: User sync has GID 0 in password file /etc/passwd dovecot-auth: Jul 09 09:07:57 Error: User shutdown has GID 0 in password file /etc/passwd dovecot-auth: Jul 09 09:07:57 Error: User halt has GID 0 in password file /etc/passwd dovecot-auth: Jul 09 09:07:57 Error: User operator has GID 0 in password file /etc/passwd dovecot-auth: Jul 09 09:07:57 Error: User the650o has GID 0 in password file /etc/passwd and yes, web1_jeffm as well as the other two emails I set up are listed in /etc/passwd
