My Dovecot is failing when i install ISPConfig 3

All my instalation went well only to the point were I install ISPconfig I get
Dovecot Imap: Error: mail_plugin_dir: Can't access directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/: No such file or directory Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf.
I have tried all the postings northing seems to be working. Can some one help me out on this one.

 

I am running Centos 5.5 and its a 32 bit system

 

Which tutorial (URL) did you use to set up the server?

What are the outputs of

Code:

ls -la /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/
ls -la /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/

?

 

I used http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.5-x86_64-ispconfig-3. But i would replace the 64 bit part with i386.

The out puts for
[root@wachkama ~]# ls -la /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/
ls: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/: No such file or directory
[root@wachkama ~]# ls -la /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/
ls: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/: No such file or directory

 

Did you run this command

Code:

rm -fr /usr/lib/dovecot/

from chapter 10 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.5-x86_64-ispconfig-3-p4 ?

 

Yes I did follow the whole setup very well and at Installing Dovecot I did it to the letter and when I started dovecot it started well. Could it be affected by SquirrelMail webmail. because wen i installed SquirrelMail webmail I didnt get its interface up running. Then when i installed ISPconfig dovecot failed to restart.

 

The

Code:

rm -fr /usr/lib/dovecot/

is the problem - this command is intended only for 64bit systems because there the Dovecot libraries are in /usr/lib64/dovecot/. On 32bit systems they are in/usr/lib/dovecot/, and you deleted that directory.

 

Nice it worked perfectly. My ISPconfig is up running. one error only on Install A Chrooted DNS Server (BIND9). When i try to start it it has an error.
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:29: open: /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.local: file not found
[FAILED]
Do u know why?

And in ispconfig it shows that mydns is offline am thinking it is becaues of the above problem.

 

I have tried to uninstall bind and reinstall and follow every thing to the letter its not giving me a change same error. And i know its not complicated but why it is acting up doesnt make any sense. Waht would u suggest me to do?

 

you propably didn't do this step from the how to

Code:

touch /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.local

 

Thats is what was actually missing thanx alot.
