Hi Falko/ Admins, am a new guy to linux and wanted to use ISPConfig3 on my new centos 5.5 linux server. I had gone through the steps said in the following link http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.6-x86_64-ispconfig-3 it all went well and only issue had is that the named dns failed to start and rest all even dovcot all started off.. and i installed ispconfig3 and as per the given details on the above pages. the dovecot failed as well and i had put the fix as per the information if it failed. But still then the same issue comes up. when i login to the cp and check it still says that the pop imap is offline and dns server is also offline. can you help me out. if i can get some step by step info on what is to be done, it would help me as i am nearing my deadline to launch the websites via this server. thanks venkat

Please check the logs in /var/log/, especially /var/log/maillog and /var/log/syslog (or /var/log/messages, not sure about the correct name on CentOS). Do you see any errors when you restart BIND and dovecot?

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork This message goes away after the first successful login. . SMTP server is working, but emails sends from server with very long interval about 5-6 hours. What can do in this situation? Maybe do I need to configure cron for SMTP-server? I hosted on VPS OpenVZ. Maybe is problem in it?
Falko, thanks for idea! I run ntpdate pool.ntp.org, but it did not solved problem. But I run Code: root@srv1:~# ntpdate microsoft.com 17 Jul 17:15:29 ntpdate[5326]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting root@srv1:~# service dovecot restart Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot. And it was helped me. As you can see dovecot started successfully. Maybe problem was in geo timezones. My server is situated in Pheonix, USA.
