Hello Zhang,

I was upgrading my server from Debian/Squeeze to Debian/Wheezy.

apt-get dist-upgrade did not complete successfully. I got the following output:(1). Then I tried again and got the following output:(2). During the upgrade, I left all the config files unchanged, including the dovecot. Could you please suggest how can I solve this ? Thanks.

Re: Upgrade

Debian 6 ships Dovecot-1.2, but Debian 7 ships Dovecot-2.x. Dovecot-2.x changes some parameters, that's why old config file doesn't work after upgrading.

Here's my personal suggestion:

*) BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP! Backup everything.
*) Get a working Dovecot-2 config file in a new virtual machine by following this solution: http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic4493 … tos-5.html
*) Compare Dovecot-2 and old config files, if you have different mailbox locations, sync to Dovecot-2 config file.
*) Remove dovecot packages before upgrading, then install them (dovecot-2.x).
*) Copy the new Dovecot-2 config file (generated by following above steps) to right place, then try to start Dovecot service and monitor its log file to make sure everything is ok.

Re: Upgrade

Zhang,

I have taken a backup of the entire server already.

I didn't set up a new virtual machine, but copied the sample dovecot2.conf from the URL. I made the changes as specified in the URL (mail_uid,mail_gid,first_valid_uid,last_valid_uid etc.). I hope it is fine.

Now I did an apt-get dist-upgrade again and got the following error. Don't know which package has sieve in it.

doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: protocols: Unknown protocol: sieve
[....] Starting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotdoveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: protocols: Unknown protocol: sieve

Yes, they are installed installed automatically, when I manually installed dovecot-managesieved. Please see the following:

This won't happen if you have package "dovecot-managesieved" installed. Show us output of "dovecot -n" please.

Re: Upgrade

That error is gone (Unknown protocol: sieve). apt-get dist-upgrade went successfully. The present issues are continued in this thread:

Thanks.
