Topic: Timeout reading config from /var/run/dovecot/config

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.8 MYSQL edition.
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

I transferred the VM on which iRedMail was running, the hostname and IP address were changed. I made changes in configuration files, but when booting the machine, dovecot crashes

Oct 08 11:23:54 mail dovecot [797]: ssl-params: Fatal: Error reading configuration: Timeout reading config from / var / run / dovecot / config
Oct 08 11:23:55 mail dovecot [628]: master: Error: service (ssl-params): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs
Oct 08 11:23:56 mail dovecot [797]: anvil: Fatal: Error reading configuration: Timeout reading config from / var / run / dovecot / config
Oct 08 11:23:56 mail dovecot [628]: master: Error: service (anvil): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs

iredapd won't start at all
port 587 is not listening

But if you manually restart dovecot, iredapd and then postfix, then everything works.
What could be the problem? Maybe I didn't make all the changes in the configuration files? What else could be?

It's likely your Dovecot config file is messed and not working. Please double check.

Thanks! The problem has already been solved by a complete reinstallation of the system
