My Dovecot is failing when i install ISPConfig 3

[wachira]

All my instalation went well only to the point were I install ISPconfig I get
Dovecot Imap: Error: mail_plugin_dir: Can't access directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/: No such file or directory Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf.
I have tried all the postings northing seems to be working. Can some one help me out on this one.

1) Which Linux distribution?
2) Is this a 32Bit or 64Bit system?

[wachira]

I am running Centos 5.5 and its a 32 bit system

Which tutorial (URL) did you use to set up the server?

What are the outputs of

ls -la /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/
ls -la /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/

?

[wachira]

I used http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...64-ispconfig-3. But i would replace the 64 bit part with i386.

The out puts for
[root@wachkama ~]# ls -la /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/
ls: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/: No such file or directory
[root@wachkama ~]# ls -la /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/
ls: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/: No such file or directory

Did you run this command

rm -fr /usr/lib/dovecot/

from chapter 10 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p4 ?

Yes I did follow the whole setup very well and at Installing Dovecot I did it to the letter and when I started dovecot it started well. Could it be affected by SquirrelMail webmail. because wen i installed SquirrelMail webmail I didnt get its interface up running. Then when i installed ISPconfig dovecot failed to restart.

The

rm -fr /usr/lib/dovecot/

is the problem - this command is intended only for 64bit systems because there the Dovecot libraries are in /usr/lib64/dovecot/. On 32bit systems they are in/usr/lib/dovecot/, and you deleted that directory.

Nice it worked perfectly. My ISPconfig is up running. one error only on Install A Chrooted DNS Server (BIND9). When i try to start it it has an error.
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:29: open: /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.local: file not found
[FAILED]
Do u know why?

And in ispconfig it shows that mydns is offline am thinking it is becaues of the above problem.

Seems as you did not install bind as described in the tutorial:

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p5

The tutorial instructs you to create that file.
