dovecot - Feb 2010 - Dovecote does'nt start - no log ?

Hi All,

Actually, I installed Dovecot on an OpenBSD server, however, after properly 
setting (assumed) the confs, Dovecot does'nt start. I don't know the
reason
but don't know how to debug. Where is the log about reason for not starting
?

Thank you for helping.

Regards

Hi Jean,

You must have missed something in the conf file (dovecot.conf)
It has happened to me too and it was typos or things that don't
match on the "dovecot.conf" file.

Have a quick check.

HTH,

Use "-n" and, if successful, "-F" option, see 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/CommandLine

If you cannot find the log location (see Timo's mail), try to trace the 
process, e.g. ktrace, strace, truss, ... whatever is available on your 
system
