Dovecot / Horde Failure

Post by jovisuk »

Hi,

Been configuring a B3 for email access for local machines connecting Thunderbird clients, but also using a FQDN to point to the B3 for external access when the users are at home - that way email works from anywhere.

Have had clients setup locally using the internal domain name:

main-bubba

Then setup a DNS entry to point a FQDN to the B3's external facing IP address which worked and I can log on from anywhere and checked email through the webmail interface.

Now this is where the problems started, I wanted to create an Self Signed Certificate to install on the machines, so as root I did:

Edited /etc/hosts file to contain the following entry at the top:
IP ADDRESS my.domain.name

Then I removed the old certificates:

Code: Select all

find /etc/ssl -name dovecot.* -exec rm {} \;
Then to create new ones:

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure dovecot-common
Now, it seems ever since I have done that I am unable to log into the Horde webmail client and the Thunderbird clients are getting an error that the "Connection Refused" - I can log into the web interface for the B3 with the usernames and passwords for any other area but just not mail, file sharing works fine. That's why I think it is horde or dovecot?

Below is the extract from the Horde log:

root@main-bubba:/var/log/horde# cat horde3.log
Nov 29 15:34:43 HORDE [error] [imp] FAILED LOGIN for USERNAME [IPADDRESS] to {localhost:143 [imap/notls]} [pid 1563 on line 139 of "/usr/share/horde3/imp/lib/Auth/imp.php"]
Nov 29 15:34:59 HORDE [error] [imp] FAILED LOGIN for USERNAME [IPADDRESS] to {localhost:143 [imap/notls]} [pid 1362 on line 139 of "/usr/share/horde3/imp/lib/Auth/imp.php"]
Nov 29 15:36:19 HORDE [error] [imp] FAILED LOGIN for USERNAME [IPADDRESS] to {localhost:143 [imap/notls]} [pid 2477 on line 139 of "/usr/share/horde3/imp/lib/Auth/imp.php"]
Nov 29 15:38:30 HORDE [error] [imp] FAILED LOGIN for USERNAME [IPADDRESS] to {localhost:143 [imap/notls]} [pid 2478 on line 139 of "/usr/share/horde3/imp/lib/Auth/imp.php"]
root@main-bubba:/var/log/horde#

I've tried looking for a Dovecot log but cannot locate this?

I've also restarted the B3 and still the same issue, also I have restarted Dovecot through the SSH login:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Any help is very much appreciated

You should be able to see the start/stop messages of dovecot in /var/log/mail.log

Tip for next time: don't delete certificates, rename them to .old or something, that way you can put it back when the new certificate doesn't work.

Have you tried

c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs

Have just tried

c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs

Still no joy.

Results from what I can find in mail.log:

It appears to me that dovecot is not listening on any port or even running correctly?

Re: Dovecot / Horde Failure

Post by Ubi »

ok you used netstat and found your IMAP server is not working. That narrows it down. So:

1) did you check if the SSL certs that you deleted were remade and now actually exist?

2) did you read the error that dovecot gave you when you restarted the package?

3) add this to your /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Code: Select all

log_path = /tmp/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /tmp/dovecot-info.log
verbose_ssl = yes
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug=yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes
mail_debug=yes
restart, test the dovecot connection by telnetting to port 110, 143 and 993 and read the two logfiles. Don't just skim over them. Don't forget to remove them when stuff works again.

4) read http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork

and 5) fix that MAILSERVER error first so you don't get confused

Great thanks Ubi,

I've fixed the MAILSERVER error so will check on with the other points. Will update as I make progress.

Re: Dovecot / Horde Failure

Post by jovisuk »

Ok, so I checked to see if the new certs had been created, and there is a dovecot.pem

Point 2) I was unable to find anything relating to an error from dovecot, only what I've posted before (I can check logs if you know of any)

I was going to edit the dovecot.conf file but I checked the login and found this error on the main login page:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28)
Filename: Unknown
Line Number: 0

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (0;660;/var/lib/php5)
Filename: Unknown
Line Number: 0

I'm getting lost as to what is going on - the only changes that had been made were to remove the old certs and re-create them as I mentioned before??

Where it says No Space left on device, I have done:

du -Sx / | sort -nr | less

And found that:

/var/log was by far the biggest directory and inside here, this is what I have found:

root@main-bubba:/home/main-user# cd /var/log
root@main-bubba:/var/log# ls
apache2 cups debug.3.gz fsck mail.err.1 mail.log.2.gz messages.1 mysql.log.4.gz squeezecenter user.log

btmp debug.2.gz faillog mail.err mail.log.1 messages mysql.log.3.gz samba syslog.7.gz


I've removed some of the .gz files but wanted to post here before I went any further?

I've made the changes to the dovecot.conf file to now log, but I am unable to log onto the web interface to restart it, whats the safest way to reboot from the SSH login?

Thanks in advance

no space on which device? df -h

so it seems one partition is completely full. That's really bad. I'm pretty sure there's more in the /var/ than just those few logfiles. For me /var is only 220MB. You should have at least 5GB available on the root partition on a B3

what happens when you type "mailq" in the shell?

you can reboot by entering "reboot" in the shell.

Sorry, I thought I included the output of

Code: Select all

df -h
it is:

I'm pretty sure its not good news to have /dev/sda1 100% full but I have no idea why this is happening?

mailq brings the following results - (Again I don't know what is generating these MAILER-DAEMON's :

my /var/log directory is 8.8GB!!!

Just checked it - just trying to find out what is causing it, then will do a reboot.

you can remove the mail messages with "postsuper -d ALL" but that won't do much.

mind you the log files that are filling up can be in a subdir of /var/log (such as /var/log/apache!)

Ok, so the following 2 logs, Daemon, Syslog are 4GB each and both contain the following line over and over:

Nov 29 15:17:35 main-bubba cnid_metad[1148]: error in select: Bad file descriptor

Am researching it now.

cnid_metad is afaik related to appletalk. "error in select" "Bad file descriptor" then suggests a network issue. You have Macs in your network?
If not you can try and isable netatalk and see if it improves things. I'm pretty sure this is not connected to your dovecot issue.

There is a Mac machine on the network running Windows 7?

I didn't think this was related to the dovecot, I have a feeling the dovecot issue can be resolved by geting the space back on the partition and then making sure my dovecot.conf file is configured properly.

I will try disabling netatalk - if I do the following:

/etc/init.d/netatalk stop

I'm guessing that will stop it until the next reboot?

you can disable it permanently from the web interface (which should be up if you killed those huge logfiles)
or if you remove the symlink from /etc/rc2.d was well (it seems bubba runs in runlevel 2 for some higher reasnoning, enter "runlevel" in the shell to see)

Ok, so have now removed those log files, rebooted with those lines in the dovecot.conf file and have disabled netatalk.

I've opened those dovecot log files and this is what is printed:

root@main-bubba:/tmp# ls
dovecot-info.log dovecot.log ftdaemon sess_7bnf8o9akfqcl65b6nfbfq3oj0
root@main-bubba:/tmp# nano dovecot.log
root@main-bubba:/tmp# cat dovecot.log
root@main-bubba:/tmp# cat dovecot-info.log
2010-11-29 21:42:05 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.13 starting up (core dumps disabled)
root@main-bubba:/tmp#

I was hoping to see more??

I will check over the dovecot.conf file.
