[solved] dovecot / lenny: unknown group name in extra_groups: vmail

[drops]

Hi,

 

i just migrated a SysCP system to a new froxlor equipped server, but currently have difficulties getting dovecot up and running. I used the provided config files, but I am getting the following error message:

any idea?

 

/etc/init.d/dovecot start

Funknown group name in extra_groups: vmail
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

[d00p]

you have to add the user vmail (sometimes Done by Postfix iirc)

Thanks for the hint! This did the trick for me:

 

groupadd -g 2000 vmail
useradd -u 2000 -g vmail vmail
(mkdir -p /var/kunden/mail/) only if not already existent
chown -R vmail:vmail /var/kunden/mail/
