Ok, please open /etc/xinetd.d/imap, /etc/xinetd.d/imaps, /etc/xinetd.d/ipop2 and /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 and put

disable = yes

into each of them. Then do this:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart

[Hagforce]

When I try to restart Dovecot I get

The Netstat -tap showes

[till]

Please add "disable = yes" also in /etc/xinetd.d/pop3s

Then restart xinetd, wait about 30 seconds and then restart dovecot.

[Hagforce]

Thank you so mutch guys!

Now it works.

I actualy think I understood the problem to, after you explained it.

Thanks again.

[Hagforce]

I want to change the IP adress on the server, will it be a problem?
Do I have to change the IP somewhere alse than in the ifconf file.....

I see that there are some references to the ip adress in ispconfig.


Just wanted to be sure before I change something :)

[falko]

Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2760

[Hagforce]

So I have to change

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/networkng/devices/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/networkng/devices/ifcfg-eth1
/var/named/chroot/var/named/etc files
/etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

Where is the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file?

Anything alse on the fedora?
Or will the changing of ipadresses just mess things up?

[falko]

Where is the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file?
It depends on your distribution. It might be in /etc/httpd/vhosts, /etc/apache/vhosts, /etc/apache2/vhosts,...


Or will the changing of ipadresses just mess things up?Not if you change the IP address everywhere. :p
