This script does start it up successfully. Still the initscript doesn't. I 
have tested that all the variables are set to the same things in the 
initscript simply by printing them with echo and they are.

/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect doesn't exist btw...

[gentoo-user] courier-imap won't start

2006-04-01 Thread Bo Andresen 
I have followed http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml#doc_chap3 
till chapter 3. But when I get to code listing 3.3 i.e.:

# /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start
# /etc/init.d/courier-imapd-ssl start
# /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d start
# /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d-ssl start

the daemons all fail to start. There are no error messages of any kind. 
Nothing written to dmesg and I don't have a clue about how to figure out a 
reason for this. I also don't have a clue about what info might be relevant 
so please ask for it.

Postfix does work like a charm and the certificates has been successfully 
created. Only the imap and pop3 daemons won't start.

# /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start
 * Starting courier-authlib: authdaemond ...[ ok ]
 * Starting courier-imapd ...   [ !! ]
 # /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d start

 I've never used courier/imap, but if you look in the init file 
 (in /etc/init.d/ ) in the start() function, you should see the command it 
 runs.  Try running that on the command line

//garbanzo/root # start-stop-daemon --quiet --start \
  --exec /usr/bin/env \
  - /usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd-ssl.rc

produces no visible errors, but still can't connect to maildirs.

Thanks,

 I'm not sure whether courier-imap started after the upgrade, or one of 
 these have caused my problems.

Turns out it was the update of baselayout to ~x86. I went back to the 
stable version (boy, I don't think I'd do that again, cause
downgrading sure screwed a bunch of other things up) and sure enough,
courier-imap worked properly. Instead of fixing the other things that
broke with the downgrade, I just updated baselayout to ~x86 again, and
then emerged the latest ~x86 version of courier-imap, and all is still
well.

Thanks for you help,
John

Try a revdep-rebuild, you may be missing a dependancy.

If this fails, try starting courier-imap manually, instead of via the 
initscript.
