Problems getting Cyrus Imap working [2]

Mon May 9 18:38:31 EDT 2005

Hello ... Its me again,

sorry for the half-mailing a few minutes before -> false key-combination
:-)
Now the whole mail again.

I am totally confused and it seems, that i need your help today. Former
i used SuSE distros with pre-installed Postfix-SASL-Cyrus system. Now i
have to setup a box with Debian Woody and I ask me: Why you should take
oder software, if you can get the freshest from the net. So i downloaded
all relevant software like this:

- Berkeley DB 4.3.27
- Openssl 0.9.7g
- Postfix 2.2.2
- cyrus-sasl-2.1.20
- cyrus-imap-2.2.12

Firstly, I installed Berkely DB and linked the libs via ld.so.conf.
After them, I installed openssl successfully. Then, in installed
cyrus-sasl like the following:

./configure --enable-anon --enable-login --enable-plain --disable-krb4
--disable-otp --disable-cram --disable-digest
--with-saslauthd=/var/run/saslauthd --with-pam=/lib/security
--with-dblib=berkeley --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/lib
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl
--with-plugindir=/usr/local/lib/sasl2 --bindir=/usr/bin
--sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --includedir=/usr/include
--libdir=/usr/lib

make and make install will run without problems. All relevant files are
there and I can also start the saslauthd via /usr/sbin/saslauthd -c -a
pam&

A tail on my syslog-file and netstat tells me, that saslauthd is up and
running.

May 10 00:08:46 machine saslauthd[31445]: detach_tty      : master pid
is: 31445
May 10 00:08:46 machine saslauthd[31445]: ipc_init        : listening on
socket: /var/run/saslauthd/mux

unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     213210
/var/run/saslauthd/mux

Ok so far.
After them, I installed Cyrus-Imap with the following options:

./configure --with-cyrus-user=cyrus --with-cyrus-group=mail
--prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/
usr/sbin --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib
--includedir=/usr/include --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-perl
--with-auth=unix --with-bdb=yes --with-dbdir=/usr/local/bdb/4.3.27
--with-bdb-libdir=/usr/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include
--with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --without-ucdsnmp
--with-sasl=/usr/local/lib/sasl2

make and make install will also run without problems.
After the installation process, i will edit /etc/imapd.conf,
/etc/imapd-local.conf and /etc/cyrus.conf like alot of examples in the
net.
Then I switch to user cyrus and run mkimap -> all well fine.

Now is the time right to test the server: 

I do a /usr/cyrus/bin/master &

BUT the server will not start up. No process from master, no LISTEN in
netstat ... nothing. And this is the 5th time i install that system and
every time i get the same thing. Nothing to hear from cyrus-imap.

Here is all, what I have in my logfiles:

May 10 00:08:46 machine master[31444]: setrlimit: Unable to set file
descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted
May 10 00:08:46 machine master[31444]: retrying with 1024 (current max)

May 10 00:08:46 machine ctl_cyrusdb[31446]: done recovering cyrus
databases

A netstat will not show up any listening on port 143:

machine:/usr/src/lamps/cyrus-imapd-2.2.12# netstat -an |grep LISTEN

If i try to connect to cyradm with cyradm --user cyrus --auth plain (or
login) --server localhost, I get a:

cyradm: cannot connect to server

Please please ... if there is anyone out there who can help me ... I´ll
spend you a big big beer if you can help me to fix that :-)

Any help is very very appriciated.

Thank you

Daniel
