Postfix/Dovecot /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Error: permission denied - Debian7

Featured Replies

Hi all!

 

First off all, thx a lot for this superior admin panel, i love it!

 

The setup under Debian7 wheezy was straight forward and I am very happy to have gone for froxlor.

 

There was only one problem: I wasn't able to receive E-Mail, sending did work.

The /var/log/mail.log:

Sep 23 19:12:28 hostname postfix/pipe[8552]: 692BX34A21W: to=<mail@address.tld>, relay=dovecot, delay=155993, delays=155993/0.02/0/0.08, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: doveconf: Fatal: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied )

Like it says in the froxlor config i did:

chmod 0640 "/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf"
chown root:root "/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf"

This wouldn't work and gives the posted fatal error. :-(

 

My solution so far is:

change the permission from 640 to 644 and leave the chown as it suggests in the config.

Also i changed permission of all files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ to 644 as well, leaving the owner and group as it was.

 

After restarting postfix and dovecot everything works here! :-)

 

I am not sure if this is a good fix and would be glad to hear what you think about it.

 

Have a nice day and all the best,

Changing the permissions to 644 is correct. This is a known configuration bug and will be fixed in the next froxlor release.
