Postfix and dovecoat over ISPConfig doesnt create Maildir

I have installed ISPconfig with Postfix and dovecot under CentOS release 5.6 X86_64
all services or started and work but when i create a domain and add mail box it doesn't create maildir so i cant login through Squirrelmail

Squirrelmail Error:
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

Code:

also my ID in ispconfig and ispconfig DB is 5000 and its ok

 

Did you run

Code:

/usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl

and tell SquirrelMail that you are using Dovecot (see http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.6-x86_64-ispconfig-3-p6 )?

 

yes i already did it
but i cant still login and also i restart both service dovecot and postfix but i have no directory in my /var/vmail
i created manually the directory with my domain name and set the permission and owner but it still doesn't create users directory

Maybe this is the solution: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48688

 

Try the commented out line as you advised, but the result is the same
also the uid and gid that i have in passwd file and in dovecot.conf are the same
my uid and gid is 5000 and its ok

 

what's your idea about this :
when i echo the UID in the /etc/init.d/devocot thie uid is 0 !

 

I think the problem is the user query in the dovecot-sql
this is my dovecot-sql user and password query is this ok ?


driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost dbname=dbispconfig user=ispconfig password=35f6417408f11c92dd5f226eef531c70
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

password_query = SELECT password FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'
user_query = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT(maildir, '/Maildir') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=', floor(quota/1024)) AS quota, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'

 

this is dovecot.conf:

Code:

[root@mailbak etc]# dovecot -n

      user: vmail

  sieve_dir: ~/sieve

and dovecot-sql.conf:

Code:

driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost dbname=dbispconfig user=ispconfig password=password
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

password_query = SELECT password FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'
user_query = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT(maildir, '/Maildir') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=', floor(quota/1024)) AS quota, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'

 

i have a question !
who make this mail directories ?! postfix ? or dovecot?
if postfix makes these directories we have to do some configuration in main.cf but i read at least 3-4 installation of postfix and dovecot but no one change the main.cf

 

wow thanks a lot it works fine
