Dovecot / Horde Failure
Posted: 29 Nov 2010, 11:03
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:
Then to create new ones:
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"]

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:
Any help is very much appreciated
