Hi. This problem was discovered on Debian Edu Jessie when installing
the Main Server profile. Wolfgang Schweer noticed the issue and
possible fix.
After the installation completes, the dovecot server is not running as
it should. The cause is that /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf. contain
this fragment:
# SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt>
#ssl = yes
# PEM encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificate and private key. They're opened before
# dropping root privileges, so keep the key file unreadable by anyone but
# root. Included doc/mkcert.sh can be used to easily generate self-signed
# certificate, just make sure to update the domains in dovecot-openssl.cnf
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
Remove the leading '<' chars from the ssl_cert and ssl_key lines fixes
the problem. Is this a bug in the dovecot scripts, or is it intentional
that the config is not working after installation?
Hello,
After our conversation I did look into this and I don't think this is a
bug. According to the documentation (See:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration) the < characters are
supposed to be there. Jelmer just did an upload 1:2.2.13-5 to fix a
different typo in SSL configuration. (Bug #760653) Could that be the
actual reason for your issue?
