Am on an Amazon AWS EC2 Linux AMI Server. I used "Bill's Linux Qmail Toaster v. 0.9.4" at Bill's Linux Qmail Toaster v. 0.9.4 to install the various software packages there, specifically: daemontools, ucspi-tcp, qmail, vpopmail, dovecot, squirrel mail, autorespond, ezmlm-idx and qmailadmin. Qmail, Vpopmail and Dovecot are all working well, having tested as below...
Testing SMTP using telnet localhost 25 has no errors.
Testing IMAP using telnet localhost 143 has no errors.
Testing POP3 using telnet localhost 110 has no errors.
Question #1 Attempting to use squirrel mail brought the frontend error "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." which I couldn't figure where to check for error log(s). Someone please help. Where do I check to understand this error and fix it?
Question #2 I installed roundcube after squirrel mail failed. I followed the approach at RoundCube Installation. Attempting to login with roundcube shows no frontend error but does not login either. When I survey the roundcube/config/config.inc.php I find only the following basic settings...
$config = array();
$config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysqli://acc:passwd@localhost/roundcube';
$config['default_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['smtp_server'] = 'localhost';
$config['smtp_port'] = 25;
$config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
$config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
$config['support_url'] = '';
$config['product_name'] = 'Roundcube Webmail';
$config['des_key'] = 'some_des_key';
$config['plugins'] = array(
'archive',
'zipdownload',
);
$config['skin'] = 'larry';
Are these settings essential for a successful roundcube setup?
Question #3 When I investigate dovecot.conf, which I got after applying the exact steps at Dovecot Installation I see that almost all options and paths are actually commented out, for instance:
- base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
- login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login
- login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
- mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
- ...
- login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
- mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3
- auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
- ...
- auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth
- ...
I haven't tried uncommenting because some like /var/run/dovecot/auth-master do not even seem to exist on my system.
Is this configuration file with such (apparent mistakes) usual and usable?
