Hello all, I am setting up a new machine to host IMAP mailboxes. I chose FreeBSD for this, since it is stable and I am fairly familiar with it. After doing the base install and setup, I attempted to install cyrus-imapd2 by doing the following:
# cd /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd2 # make all install However, it ran into problems installing rc_subr - specifically, it was trying to download 1.16, which is not available on FTP servers. I opted to change this by getting rid of the distfile to disable MD5 checking (I am reasonably sure that the freebsd.org servers can be trusted), and changed the Makefile information to reflect the version that is availablem 1.31. After doing that, everything else installed without a hitch. I then went and modified /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf to include the relevant information, setup sendmail, etc. I set cyrus' password via saslpasswd2. However, when I went to test the server as user cyrus, I got this: %imtest -m login -p imap localhost connect: Connection refused failure: Network initialization I check and low and behold, imapd isn't running (I had run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/imapd.sh start already). I check /var/log/messages, and I see this from when I ran imapd.sh: Jul 2 14:09:18 newimap sudo: msingerm : TTY=ttyp0 ; PWD=/usr/local/cyrus ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/su - Jul 2 14:09:33 newimap imapd: could not getenv(CYRUS_SERVICE); exiting Jul 2 14:09:43 newimap master[577]: process started Jul 2 14:09:43 newimap ctl_cyrusdb[578]: recovering cyrus databases Jul 2 14:09:43 newimap ctl_cyrusdb[578]: done recovering cyrus databases Jul 2 14:09:43 newimap master[577]: ready for work Jul 2 14:09:43 newimap ctl_cyrusdb[579]: checkpointing cyrus databases Jul 2 14:09:43 newimap ctl_cyrusdb[579]: done checkpointing cyrus databases Jul 2 14:16:29 newimap imapd: could not getenv(CYRUS_SERVICE); exiting So... Cyrus ain't starting properly. I did some searching around for the error message, but I wasn't able to turn anything up. Any ideas? I'm really at loss here. Thanks in advance for all your help.
