Topic: Dovecot Error

============ Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.5
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): pgsql
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
- Related log if you're reporting an issue: Login via Dovecot / RoundCube
====

Install went well, setup my first domain: ciordia.info, made my user. Attempted to login via Mail.app imap, failed so I logged in via roundcube.

Mail.err:

Jul 23 17:51:56 nexus roundcube: IMAP Error: Login failed for andy@ciordia.info from 96.10.189.173. LOGIN: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. in /usr/share/apache2/roundcubemail-0.9.2/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 184 (POST /mail/?_task=login&_action=login)

logs/dovecot.log:

While I've run postfix many times outside of databases this is my first psql install so I'm a bit out of my neighborhood.

Advance thanks for input.

Re: Dovecot Error

I think PostgreSQL 8 and that query aren't going to work along.
PostgreSQL different versions in the 8 series handle CONCAT in a something random way. This version, it seems, doesn't allow CONCAT of string literals (in this case '/'). In version 9 it works fine, at least in my experience.
In order to make the code PostgreSQL 8-compatible, it should read

SELECT 'andy@ciordia.info' AS master_user,
mailbox.storagebasedirectory || '/' || mailbox.storagenode || '/' || mailbox.maildir AS home (etc...)

Actually, I think CONCAT() is not a standard SQL function.

Re: Dovecot Error

Ubuntu 12.04 ships PostgreSQL-9.1, why yours is 8.x?

# cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS"

# apt-cache policy postgresql
postgresql:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 9.1+129ubuntu1
  Version table:
     9.1+129ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages
     9.1+129 0
        500 http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages

Anyway, you can make it work by following alberto's reply.

Re: Dovecot Error

I bet this is a legacy from when this install was a part of the 10.x branch.

I decided to be a good boy and remove all the pieces that might be in the way for this to work so I've removed everything, configs, etc, and will do a fresh install with fresh packages. Who knows what other conflicts might rise up, so lets see if a fresh install makes everything happy.

Thanks for seeing the versioning problem!

Re: Dovecot Error

All clear!

I thought I was smart in my uninstalls but I introduced a number of duplicate configs that had to be hunted down and either removed or edited and cleaned up.

Otherwise I think I've got all the pieces talking nicely to each other.. (now that I've said that....)

Thanks again!
