[HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot

[sci2tech]

To make dovecot work with new encripted passwords in database modify dovecot. conf in

Quote:base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
protocols = imap pop3
disable_plaintext_auth = no
listen=*
syslog_facility = mail
login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n
mail_privileged_group = mail
protocol imap {
}
namespace private {
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
}
protocol pop3 {
pop3_uidl_format = %u-%v
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster@yourdomain.tld
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
}
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb checkpassword {
args = /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dovecot-mngr
}
userdb prefetch {
}
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0660
user = vmail
group = mail
}
}
user = root
}
plugin {
}

. Save attached file as /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dovecot-mngr and make it executable (chmod 0755 /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dovecot-mngr). restart dovecot and enjoy.
So the problem was file rigths. File were accessible only for root but dovecot runs as vmail user. Please test and confirm if possible.
