Dovecot error - rsthomas - 12-17-2024
It appears I have somehow blown out the Dovecot function. Logging into an email account produces this error message: Connection to storage server failed.
Also, if I restart Dovecot with service dovecot restart, these messages eventually appear:
Dec 16 15:22:32 admin.rstinternetmarketing.com systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server.
Dec 16 15:22:32 admin.rstinternetmarketing.com dovecot[10726]: master: Dovecot v2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) starting up without any protocols (core dumps disabled)
Dec 16 15:27:42 admin.rstinternetmarketing.com dovecot[10741]: auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file. PLAIN mechanism needs one
Dec 16 15:27:42 admin.rstinternetmarketing.com dovecot[10726]: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs
There must be a file, configuration or otherwise, that got messed up but I haven't been able to find it.
Thank you!

As it turns out, /etc/sentora/configs/dovecot2/dovecot.conf got deleted. I copied it off my other Sentora server, and have a working email system again!!

Nice work figuring it out!
