Dovecot installation - bug with service

jeanpaul

Basic Pleskian
Before i used IMAP Courrier
After i have installed Dovecat, the service doesn't start.

When i try to install i get :
-sh-3.2# /etc/init.d/dovecot start
Démarrage de Dovecot Imap :doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: default_internal_user doesn't exist: dovecot
 
Can't reproduce this issue on my test Plesk 12 CentOS 6. I have selected Dovecot installation in autoinstaller and after installation dovecot can be successfully stopped/started by init script.
 
Ok, i give you more information :
Centos 5.10 / Plesk 12.0.8

When you install dovecot, do you have dovecot.conf created in /etc/dovecot/ ?

Yes. As you can see, this file is a part of plesk-dovecot package:

# rpm -qf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
plesk-dovecot-2.2.12-cos6.build1200140617.16.i386
